数学における協調する対極 | Thomas Priestley | TEDxRiverfield Country Day School

数学的思考に内在する視点の移動と、学習において二つの見方の間を行き来することの重要性を扱っています。講演では「seer」と「sage」の関係を協調する対極として捉え、この緊張関係が数学教育や人工知能との今後の協働にどう関わるかを論じています。話者のThomas Priestleyは、タルサのRiverfield Country Day Schoolで上級学年の数学を教えています。独立して運営されたTEDxイベントでの講演です。

• 学習における「seer」と「sage」の視点は協調する対極である
• 確かな数学では二つの世界の間を移動することが含まれる
• 数学教育とAIとの協働への示唆

This talk focuses on the shifts of perspective inherent in mathematical thinking, with particular focus on the "seer" and "sage" dynamic as necessarily "cooperating opposites" in the practice of learning. Examining these two perspectives, and the walking between their respective worlds that is inherent to robust mathematics, reveals an essential tension that both creates meaningful context for learning and makes this type of thinking worthwhile, with implications for both math education and our advancing partnership with artificial intelligence. Thomas was born and raised in a small college town in Tennessee with a strong appreciation for the liberal arts and the place of mathematics among them, as an essential and quintessentially human pursuit and source of perspective. He decided on Philosophy as an undergraduate major at Davidson College, before spending his early career teaching mathematics in American schools overseas, including in Costa Rica, China, Malta and finally Slovakia, where he met his future wife, Andrea. After a stop in Nashville, where Thomas completed his Masters in Education at Vanderbilt's Peabody School, they returned to Slovakia where their daughter Lily was born. The Priestleys moved to Tulsa in 2023, drawn by the educational philosophy of Riverfield Country Day School, where Lily now attends third grade and Thomas teaches in the upper school. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
