Jabara’s message is that in the end he knows kids will get more than just money out of this. They will gain the ability to learn math in a productive manner. The students realize what was once a hard subject for them is now understandable. This sets up students to have a skill in the future that is in urgent need. Jebara made his app in a way that the students know what it is like to earn money and so they can find the value in it. Eventually students will not need to use this application to improve their math skills, because they will learn to find a new respect for the subject. As Jebara delivered his wisdom he did not force it upon the people watching. He wanted the audience to feel comfortable around him, this helped immensely because everyone was engaged in what he had to say. The graphs and data he had showed that he knew that this was an issue of importance. Jebara’s TED Talk is not for the money or advertisement, but rather general concern for the future of mathematics.
