In today’s interview, I talk with Gabriel Rojas, college professor, author of the Algebra User Manual, and recipient of the ASCE New Faces of Engineering Award, about how learning math is similar to learning a new language.
Gabriel and I discuss:
Different stages of mastery of a subject, whether it’s learning math or a language
The importance of practice and strong foundations in building new skills
The many ways Gabriel made the Algebra User Manual friendly and meaningful
Why math is important, a concept important to building student motivation
How to help students NOT be intimidated by the difference of squares
