Student Says Math Easy As Pi


I hope to be that teacher who introduces a student like this to this.  This video is about a kid who can say the decimals of Pi up to the thousandth decimal.  And it was because of one teacher who gave it as an assignment in class.  And now this kid who may not have liked numbers or mathematics previously now knows a whole lot of numbers of Pi.
It is truly the kind of teacher that I aspire to be, to help students find what they are interested in, whether that be saying Pi to the thousandth decimal place or acting.  And once I help them find it, I will utilize that information and use it to teach them.

For instance, if they are into saying Pi, then use Pi to teach the student something else, maybe related to history and the history is one 1964 and that is the hundred through hundred-fourth place.
