    I like how when he says &quot;people who have spent time on their phones recently knows these numbers VERY WELL&quot; is referring to the 2048 game which was popular at the time

    Wish I’d had this guy as a maths teacher all those years ago. &nbsp;The “why” is so important to assist understanding…..we just got taught the “how”.

    Meanwhile my math teacher is: &quot;That&apos;s just the way it is. Don&apos;t question it!&quot;

    This is exactly what a teacher is supposed to do for students: create curiosity towards the subject.
