Professor Daniel Rey: "The reason many people don't like mathematics may be due to how it is taught to students"

SIC Notícias14 September 2026 at 15:35

Teacher Daniel Rey, creator of the "Rey da Matemática" channel, was interviewed by Ricardo Araújo Pereira on the show "Isto é Gozar Com Quem Trabalha" (This is Making Fun of Who Works), broadcast by SIC. During the interview, Rey addressed students' relationship with mathematics and the reasons why many people develop an aversion to the subject.

According to the teacher, the reason for many students' disinterest in mathematics may be in the way the subject is taught. Rey argued that the traditional approach to teaching the subject may be responsible for driving students away and creating a negative image of mathematics.

The "Rey da Matemática" channel, created by Daniel Rey, was created precisely with the aim of making mathematics more accessible and attractive to students, using alternative teaching methods. This initiative is part of a broader movement of educators seeking to reformulate the way mathematics is transmitted to students.

Why this matters

Portuguese viewers who watch the SIC program have access to a relevant educational perspective on mathematics teaching, a subject frequently pointed out as challenging. This interview follows the trend of entertainment programs addressing pedagogical topics, potentially influencing the public debate on teaching methods in Portugal.
