Thats the question teacher and Synergy Academies Founder Dr. Randy Palisoc asks the TEDxManhattanBeach audience. With only 26% of U.S. twelfth graders proficient in mathematics, Randy shares his solution: teach math as a language. Putting words back into math lessons enables even the youngest school-age minds to grasp complex concepts, such as fractions, that are traditionally thought of as abstract and difficult to understand. In his stunningly simple and effective approach, math no longer creates problems for kids but solves them.
Randy Palisoc is a passionate educator, known for making math easy. A founder of the five-time national award winning Synergy Academies, Randy is proud to identify Synergy as an “in spite of” school. In spite of the fact that its students were disadvantaged and in spite of the fact that it did not have its own facility and had to pack up its classrooms every single week, his school was the first and only elementary school in South Los Angeles to ever win the National Blue Ribbon Award, and was named the #1 Urban Elementary School in America in 2013.
Seeking a broader impact, Randy left Synergy this year to start Ironbox Education. One of the ways he believes we can dramatically improve America’s schools is by doing a better job teaching math to our students in a way that makes sense to them. Randy believes implementing a few changes in the way we approach math will give students the confidence and thinking skills to be more competitive in a global economy.

The “Game Changer” he most admires is Steve Jobs, because he had the ability to envision things we did not even know we needed or wanted.
About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
95% of North Americans either go to bed or wake up worrying about something. Yet, worrying is the #1 killer of creativity, performance and dreams. When revolutionary brand strategist Isabelle Mercier-Turcotte discovered “What we tolerate we worry about,” she realized a little structure brings a lot of inner flexibility and freedom. The result is her simple yet powerful model to help you instantly decrease worry and increase peace of mind.

«Вечера́ на ху́торе близ Дика́ньки» (рус. дореф. «Вечера на хуторѣ близъ Диканьки») — первая книга Николая Васильевича Гоголя (исключая поэму «Ганц Кюхельгартен», напечатанную под псевдонимом). Состоит из двух томов. Первый вышел в 1831, второй — в 1832 году. Рассказы «Вечеров» Гоголь писал в 1829—1832 годах. По сюжету же рассказы книги якобы собрал и издал «пасичник Рудый Панько».
Действие произведения свободно переносится из XIX века («Сорочинская ярмарка») в XVII («Вечер накануне Ивана Купала»), а затем в XVIII («Майская ночь, или Утопленница», «Пропавшая грамота», «Ночь перед Рождеством») и вновь в XVII («Страшная месть»), и опять в XIX («Иван Фёдорович Шпонька и его тётушка»). Окольцовывают обе книги рассказы деда дьяка Фомы Григорьевича — лихого запорожца, который своей жизнью как бы соединяет прошлое и настоящее, быль и небыль. Течение времени не разрывается на страницах произведения, пребывая в некой духовной и исторической слитности.
