Topic: Cryptocurrency is a great way to teach math in schools - page 2. (Read 788 times)
One of my friend's professor in economics taught about crypto currency and how much possible income it could give. He said he was shocked when his professor talked about it coz he never knew some professionals here in my country knew about bitcoin.
You mean like solving blocks?
Agree, and the news says that top Russian universities will start to offer courses in cryptocurrency from next year.
To be honest, I don't like the idea of teaching math using cryptocurrency.
Considering the vast majority of people use paper money in everyday life, it would be better to teach school children how to use math fundamentals by traditional means, rather than by digital cryptos, which have so many uncertainties in prospect.
Let's not forget that some countries consider cryptos to be illegal. So what for to teach it at school?
I only support this approach. Any learning is always easier to give students if it is based on specific examples. But, unfortunately, the school curriculum always approved by the Ministry of education. The government is not interested in the spread of crypto-currencies, therefore, will never agree to such a program.

i think it maybe too utility for children and the algorithm is advanced for non-math majors, i heard the one school in England may set the Asch Academy, maybe its a great way to teach blockchain
I believe it's not mathematics but economics. The volatility of it's price can be explained by the relationship of the supply and demand of the coin which is truly Economics. Aside from that, crypto-markets are mostly identical to stock markets.

Maybe in other country, but in my country I think not yet because there are only few who knows about bitcoin. And I think it's a way harder in bitcoin in terms of mathematics. As per my experience until now I am not sure on computing equivalent of some of crypto currencies. I need to use calculator or convert it by google.
I had a teacher at University that talked about bitcoin in his economics courses, a few years back. It wasn't a whole class on crypto but it was really good to see that kids are receptive and open to it and I'm sure that thanks to him some have bought into it.
So yeah, I'm all for crypto in schools.

It would be interesting to see who the first teachers are to do this and if the media picks them up. I know small media outlets would as they pretty much cover anything.
POS Wallets could teach a lot about basic math even to elementary school kids. PiggyCoin in fact seems geared in that direction, it's like a Piggybank.
