Got 13 minutes? Watch this video from Michael Pershan.

There has been quite a bit of media about Khan Academy and this post takes a look at how mathematics is taught in other countries. When you compare the teaching of math in Japan to the teaching of math in the U.S. it is very different. The video explores "what the Khan Academy would like like if it came from Japan." Scott McLeod also bring up Dan Meyer (and links to his blog). If you would like to see more of the TIMMS videos (that are referenced in this video) go to http://nces.ed.gov/timss/video.asp.
