Description: Let's learn about multiplying and dividing rational numbers. But first, a T/F question for you: True or False: Teaching is an art form. If you said "True", then is it possible to teach math as authentic street performance art? True again. Welcome to Yay Math! The Yay Math movement believes that inspired learning occurs through meaningful human connections. In this video, filmed live on the iconic Venice Beach Promenade in sunny Los Angeles, math teacher Robert Ahdoot shares a lesson on how to multiply and divide rational numbers to passersby from around the world. This scene is living proof that learning math doesn't have to be dreadful, and by making it connective and invitational, it can actually be fun and fulfilling. Rational numbers are just a fancy way of saying fractions, or decimals. To multiply and divide them, it first helps to think of them conceptually. So in this video, when we're talking about dividing, we make it about dollar amounts, or even pizza for that matter. We learn about turning mixed fractions to improper fractions, plus we take a dive into how to calculate a number's reciprocal. Learning math can always be fun and connective.
