Have you been relying on endless algebra flowcharts to nowhere?Are your students relying on tricks and shortcuts instead of truly understanding math? Are they seeing math as a set of disconnected procedures to apply and success comes when you figure out which procedure applies given a set of inputs? Whether you teach elementary or high school, the tension between teaching for deep understanding and preparing students to "just get the answer" is real. In this episode, veteran math educator Maryann Greenholt shares her candid journey of grappling with how to move beyond procedural teaching—especially in the context of factoring—and what it really takes to help students understand the why behind the math.You'll learn:Why students at all levels often cling to memorized steps—and how to shift that mindsetHow using visual and concrete models can deepen understanding, from basic operations to polynomialsWhat it looks like to create a calm, concept-first math classroom that builds confidence and curiosityIf you're ready to move beyond surface-level math instruction and foster real meaning for your students, press play now and walk away with insights you can use at any grade.Not sure what matters most when designing math improvement plans?

In this episode of Room to Grow, Joanie and Curtis continue their conversations with middle and high school students to gain their perspectives on learning math. Our hosts interviewed six students from grades 7-12 in three different sessions. Because all of these conversations were rich with great comments, this is the second of two episodes of Room to Grow devoted to these students' perspectives; if you haven't already listened to part 1, we encourage you to do so. Part 2 focuses on these students' perceptions on asking questions in class and managing when they don't understand, as well as their thoughts about homework. Once again, these students shared some really powerful ideas, and we hope they get you thinking!We encourage you to explore the resources below, referenced in this episode:· Riya's Ramblings podcast – find on your favorite podcast platform or HERE on Apple Podcasts· Not the article Joanie mentioned, but some other great ideas for teaching students how to studyTeaching Students to Use Evidence-Based Study StrategiesFive Ways to Teach Students the Skill of Active StudyingTeaching Your Students How to StudyResources for thinking about homeworkNCTM resources related to homeworkIdeas for Assigning More Meaningful Math HomeworkDid you enjoy this episode of Room to Grow?

In this episode of Room to Grow, Joanie and Curtis have conversations with middle and high school students to gain their perspectives on learning math. They interviewed six students from grades 7-12 in three different sessions. Because all of these conversations were rich with great comments, the next two episodes of Room to Grow will be devoted to these students' perspectives. Part 1 focuses on what the students said their teachers do or don't do in the classroom that supports their learning. We heard about the importance of being able to talk to others during class, to move around and actively engage students in the lesson, and understanding, supporting, and normalizing that students learn at different paces. Future episodes center on the conversations around homework and the importance of their teachers in forming their own mathematical identity and the culture of learning in the classroom. You may be surprised at how much you learn from these students.We encourage you to explore the resources below, referenced in this episode:Riya's Ramblings podcast – find on your favorite podcast platform or HERE on Apple PodcastsResources for getting students talking in math classBlog post on developing math language routinesBlog post with strategies for supporting mathematics discourse in your classroomResources for getting students up and moving in classBlog post with ideas for beginning, middle and end of classBlog post with easy to implement ideas Did you enjoy this episode of Room to Grow?

If you have been around kids and schools, you'll notice that for some kids concepts around math come easy while for others it can seem like a constant uphill battle. Is it true that some of us were just not wired to learn math? Is it how math is taught? Or is there more to it? Today we talk not just about this issue but we also zoom out to the more general life lesson of "getting stuck" and we are joined by an expert in the field - teacher, speaker and author Ben Orlin. At a math teacher Ben saw how kids sometimes get stuck on trying only to get the right answer without "sitting" in the problem and perhaps seeing things from different angles. He brings to life some great examples in history where breakthroughs have emerged from smart people getting stuck and he makes a great point for why this should be something we value and teach to our kids as well. Ben, author of the upcoming Math For English Majors is a genius at making the "hard" things (like math concepts) easy to understand and you will love our conversation.
Many of us grew up dividing the world into "math kids"... and the rest of us. It can be just as scary when our kids present us with their math homework as it was when we were assigned our own. So how do we get our kids excited about math?Today on ParentData, we're joined by Shalinee Sharma, who runs an online math platform called Zearn. She is a math zealot — a person who really, truly believes that all kids can not only succeed in math but love it. We talk about putting those beliefs on the page in her new book "Math Mind: The Simple Path to Loving Math". It's a guide to how we can make all kids “math kids.” We talk about why she wrote it, what she hopes people will get from it, and how schools can do math better.

This edWeb podcast is sponsored by Lavinia Group.The edLeader Panel recording can be accessed here.Research has shown that a high-quality summer learning program offers a vital opportunity to bridge learning gaps in math and reading. Yet many schools start planning from scratch each year. Traditionally seen as remedial, summer programs have also become a cornerstone for tackling opportunity gaps and empowering students from underserved backgrounds to excel academically.While some educators remain skeptical that a four- or five-week summer learning program can produce transformative results, year-over-year data tracked by Lavinia Group from the past three years has proven that when you expect more of your summer learning experience, students achieve more. Listen to this edWeb podcast to learn how you can build a five-week summer learning program capable of producing double-digit gains in math and reading.This edWeb podcast is of interest to school and district leaders of the elementary through middle school grades.Lavinia Group A team of educators dedicated to closing the opportunity gap.Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Learning Math in Time for Alignment, published by NicholasKross on January 9, 2024 on LessWrong. Epistemic status: Strong hunches, weakly held. At least some of this could be found false in experiments. If you want to do technical AI alignment research, you'll need some amount of non-trivial math knowledge. It may be more theoretical, or with more ML/biology grounding, but it'll definitely be math. How do you learn all this math? "Self-teaching" is almost a misnomer, compared to just "learning". I don't need to distill something for others, I only need myself to grok it. I may use distillation or adjacent techniques to help myself grok it, but like any N=1 self-experiment, it only needs to work for me. [1] So then... what helps me understand things? Formal rules that are written precisely Wordy concepts that one could use in an essay Math is technically the former, but real mathematicians (even the great ones!) actually use it more like the latter. That is, they use a lot of "intuition" built up over time. You can't survive on intuition alone (unless you have the genetic improbability of Ramanujan's brain). And you can't survive on rigor alone (according to all bounded human minds doing math research). Heck, even learning rigorously/boring is nontrivial (since e.g. small errors are harder to correct when you're learning an alien system). The Mathopedia concept is, in many ways, the "wordy" version. Viliam notes that math's "hardness" (i.e. objectivity) means you can't just teach it in the wordy version. After all, there is generally one real canonical definition for a mathematical object. And yet... both Viliam and Yudkowsky say that math is fun when you know what you're doing. I kind of agree! I've had fun doing (what seemed like) math, at least twice in my life! OK, so it's simple! Just make sure to understand everything thoroughly before moving to the next thing, and "play with the ideas" to understand them better. Except... there's a problem. AI timelines. Giving children quality tutoring and new K-12 curricula won't work even if we have 20 years before existentially-risky AI is used. 5 years is almost reasonable to learn deeply about a subfield or two, enough to make original contributions. AI alignment, if it involves enough math to justify this post, requires deeper-than-average understanding, and possibly an ability to create entirely new mathematics. And timelines might be as short as a year or two. [2] Tangent (for large grantmakers and orgs only) Why didn't MIRI or other groups prepare for this moment earlier? Why didn't MIRI say "OK, we have $X to fund researchers, and $Y left over, so let's put $Z towards hedging our short-timelines bets. We can do that using human enhancement and/or in-depth teaching of the relevant hard (math) parts. Let's do that now!"? I think it's something like... MIRI had pre-ML-calibrated short timelines. Now they have post-ML short timelines. In both cases, they wouldn't think "sharpening the saw"-type strategies worthwhile. And if short timelines are true now, then it's too late to use them. Luckily, insofar as AI governance does anything, we can get longer timelines. And insofar as you (a large grantmaker or org with funds/resources to spare on hedging your timeline scenarios) have enough money to hedge your timeline bets, you should fund and/or set up such longer-term programs. If you put 80% credence in 5-year timelines, but you also control $100 million in funding (e.g. you're OpenPhil), then you should be doing math-learning and intelligence enhancement programs! The Challenge So clearly, a person needs to be able to get deep understanding of lots of math (in backchaining-resistant worlds, that means lots of math). Within a year or two. In time to, and with the depth needed to, come up with new good ideas. This is the chal...

Listen in to our interview with Nigel Nisbet, a rock musician, AP Physics and AP Computer Science teacher who did a tour of duty in an all-girls school, plus a specialist who devotes his time to reaching into the structure and beauty of mathematics and discussing the “science of learning math” from many angles. Nisbet who is currently the VP of Content Creation at MIND Education mentions how teaching modalities have changed and how learning has had to delve into facts of how people learn and the neuroscience of it all. He mentions a lot of the important mechanisms within the subject of math that are being addressed with advanced technology and what it means. LeiLani points out these important things that the software can do that human teachers find difficult such as true personalization for each point of potential student struggle, followed by Nisbet discussing how the “science of” is developed to manage this positively while still involving the teacher for certain particular human interactions to leverage expertise and emotional connection which causes better learning.

This week I am joined by the delightful Sensei Miwako, founder of JAMS, to talk about maths and, more specifically, why the Abacus method can help children overcome their "math struggle".JAMS is the only math school in the Portland and Beaverton area certified by the League for Soroban Abacus. They use the teachings of Abacus & Anzan instruction to build a solid and strong foundation of mental mathematics with lifelong skills. She's also the founder of abacus online, (because there are only soo many people you can reach when you do face to face classes.)Miwako has over 2 decades of abacus teaching experience and is the most enthusiastic advocate for better math education that you will ever come across!We talk about many things including;Why children struggle when though math in schools.Why teaching kids "the concept of math", as most schools do, simply won't work.The difference between Kumon and the abacus method.The purpose of a school should not just be to help your child pass an exam.Why some children "shut down" when they don't understand something.How the abacus method teaches a life-skill.Why math is actually simple if you just break it down properly.That EVERY SINGLE CHILD can "get good at math" and that it doesn't need to cost you a fortune in education and tutoring.And so much more.Miwako is a delight. I absolutely LOVE talking to people that genuinely have an interest in helping people and am completely on board with her idea that the way schools teach math (all disjointed and how it's all about "showing your workings" rather than knowing the answer) is a killer for most kids and puts people off math more than it helps anyone.Definitely check out her website if your child, or yourself, want access to a dead-easy way to improve your math skills.Just a reminder that HPNB now only has 5 billing cycles!So this means that you not only get 3 months FREE access, no obligation! BUT, if you decide you want to do the rest of the program, after only 5 months of paying $10/£8 a month you now get FREE LIFE TIME ACCESS!This means you can sign up after your first child, use the program and recover and then still have access after giving birth to child 2 and 3!None of this "pay X amount a year" nonsense, once you've paid..you've paid!This makes HPNB not just the most efficient and complete post-partum recovery program, it's also BY FAR the best value.Remember to follow us on Instagram and Facebook for the competitions, wisdom and cute videos.

I was not gifted with Math initially but afterwords I fell in love with it. We did not have YouTube and BYJU's during that period. This in fact helped me to get better in maths and learn a very vital skill that helped me immensely during my adulthood.
Join enVision® Mathematics author and expert Zachary Champagne as he offers helpful tips you can use with your students/children to help keep math learning going over the summer while also striving to make it a joyful and productive experience.
Making a big move in life can be a difficult and complex decision. Whether it's changing jobs, moving to a new city, or even a new country, such a decision affects the parent, spouse, and children. Consequently, it has been said that children thrive on routine and familiarity, and a big move can uproot them from everything they know and love, such as their friends, school, and community. Moreover, transitions can be particularly challenging for younger children, who may struggle to adapt to new surroundings and need time to build new relationships and routines. Therefore, conversing with your kids can help them prepare for the changes that lie ahead. Children have their own opinions, and it's essential to acknowledge and respect them. We must give them an opportunity to ask questions, express their fears and concerns, and receive answers and reassurance. Such things can lessen some of their anxieties and make them feel more at ease with the upcoming changes. Remember that family functions best when everyone works together towards a common goal. In this special episode, Dr. Derrick Burgess will have a meaningful interview with his children, allowing them to ask random questions that will enable us to see how a significant transition in his life and career affects them. Be captivated by the fascinating insights Dr. Derrick's children's young minds and hearts can teach us.

Today we are going to discuss ways to support a preschool child from giving up when learning math.
In this episode of Room to Grow, Joanie and Curtis discuss and asset-based approach to teaching and learning mathematics. They emphasize that all students bring strengths to learning mathematics, whether it be from a cultural, language, or ways of thinking lens, and that by assuming that all students have and bring strengths, math educators invite even more learners to be successful. As usual, our hosts share their personal experiences, anecdotes and ideas that they hope you'll relate to.We encourage you to explore the resources below, referenced in this episode:Classroom practices that compliment and asset-based approach to teaching and learning math https://www.ifl-news.pitt.edu/2021/09/three-practices-that-compliment-an-asset-based-approach-to-teaching-and-learning-in-math-classrooms/ Edutopia article on setting a high bar for all students https://www.edutopia.org/article/using-asset-based-approach-instruction-and-assessment/Research from the Journal for Research in Mathematics Education about asset-based mathematics instruction https://www.jstor.org/stable/10.5951/jresematheduc.49.4.0373 Did you enjoy this episode of Room to Grow?

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Learning as much Deep Learning math as I could in 24 hours, published by Phosphorous on January 8, 2023 on The Effective Altruism Forum. TL:DR I designed an experiment where I committed to spend two 12 hour days trying to learn as much deep-learning math as possible, basically from scratch. Table of Contents Origins and Motivations Results Takeaways Experiment set-up The Curriculum Documentation on hours Origins and Motivations For a long time, I've felt intimidated by the technical aspects of alignment research. I had never taken classes on linear algebra or multivariable calculus or deep learning, and when I cracked open many AI papers, I was terrified by symbols and words I didn't understand. 7 months ago I wrote up a short doc about how I was going to remedy my lack of technical knowledge: I collected some textbooks and some online courses, and I decided to hire a tutor to meet a few hours a week. I had the first two weeks of meetings, it was awesome, then regular meetings got disrupted by travel, and I never came back to it. When I thought about my accumulating debt of technical knowledge, my cached answer was “Oh, that might take six months to get up to speed. I don't have the time.” Then, watching my productivity on other projects over the intervening months, I noticed two things: There appeared to be massive variance in my productivity. Sometimes, in a single day, I would get more done than I had accomplished in previous weeks. I seemed to both enjoy and get more done by “sprinting” through certain projects, eg. by spending 10 hours on it in a single day, rather than spreading that same work out over 2 hours a week for 5 weeks. It was, for some reason, way more motivating and seemingly more efficient to sprint. Also, when I asked myself what I thought the main bottlenecks were for addressing my technical debt problem, I identified two categories: Time (I felt busy all the time, and was afraid of committing too much to one project) A combination of lacking Motivation, Accountability and Fun Then, as my mind wandered, I started to put 2 and 2 together: Perhaps these new things I had noticed about my productivity, could be used to address the bottlenecks in my technical debt? I decided to embark on an experiment: how much technical background on deep learning could I learn in a single weekend? My understanding of the benefits of this experiment were as follows: Committing “a weekend” felt like a much smaller time cost than committing “a few months”, even if they were the same number of hours. No Distraction: I could design my environment to minimize distractions for two days, something it would be intractable to do to the same degree for several months. “Trying to learn as much as possible” felt like a challenge. I was, to be honest, pretty scared. I didn't know what I was doing, it felt extreme, but that also made it exciting and fun. I had some historical data that I might be good at this kind of sprinting, and framing this as an experiment to see what I could learn about my productivity added another layer of discovery-driven motivation and fun. What if I learned more about how to be productive and get hard things done via this experiment? As far as I knew, nobody else among my peers had done this - but I suspected that more people than me had the same problems, and that if I conducted this experiment, I might learn things that would be helpful to others, which added yet another layer of discovery-driven motivation and fun. Accountability: Once I told somebody about this, it was hard to back out. It's way easier for them to monitor me for a weekend than for a few months. Results I'd consider the experiment a success: I finished the whole curriculum in ~18 hours, and I got a lot of neat take-aways I'll go over below. At the end of day 1, after 12 hours of cram...
In this episode of Capital Class, Adam Giery sat down with educator-turned-entrepreneur Anarupa Ganguly. They discuss how her experience with Teach for India inspired the thought process that led her to start her company Prisms.Anurupa's entry point to education began as a physics and math teacher in the Boston Public Schools. For 10+ years since then, Anurupa has led STEM curriculum and teacher preparation across the largest educational systems in the US including the NYC DOE, Boston Public Schools, and Success Academy Charter Schools. Through her experience as a district and charter administrator, she found that she did not have the learning tools to deliver the outcomes her leaders and teachers were accountable for, and the personal sense-making journeys that students deserve while developing foundational mathematical reasoning & proficiencies.She was awarded a National Science Foundation SBIR grant to build a scalable learning platform that actualizes pedagogies that we know work best but weren't possible until recent advances in IVR and AI technologies. Her mission is to rapidly improve student performance and engagement in the mathematical sciences while crafting the instructor aids and training required to operationalize innovative technologies in the classroom. Anurupa holds a BS & M.Eng in electrical engineering from MIT and an EdM in Curriculum & Teaching from Boston University.Listen in to learn how to reconnect with yourself and define your work-life balance as opposed to following the standard definition of it. What You Will Discover:· 00:00 Episode Begins· 02:28 Anurupa describes her journey from Teach for America to Teach for India.· 04:36 How culture and resources differentiate America's education system from India's. · 07:26 The importance of categorically defining the scope of a teacher's job.· 10:23 How to change the narrative and give teachers the pathway to improving their practices.· 19:10 The genesis of Prisms plus building a spatial learning environment for mathematics.· 24:29 What it entails to teach kids to solve real-life problems with mathematical models.· 28:29 How Prisms VR is prioritizing objective-driven learning through real-world situations.· 32:14 The investment and market challenge Prisms experienced when entering the market.· 37:45 Anurupa on how she reconnects with herself away from her founder role.· 41:27 How to listen to yourself and define what work-life balance means to you.· 46:14 Rapid fire questions for Anurupa.

Math and Physics are two of science's fundamental and most exciting branches. For centuries, scientists have used Math and Physics to answer some of the world's most fascinating questions and help us understand the universe that we live in. But no matter how important it is in our daily lives, most students now shy away from these subjects and is disinterested in them. For this week's Outer Travel, Inner Journey, we will talk with Ulli and Daria, two teachers of Math and Physics, as we dig deeper into the cause of students' fear in these subjects and find ways to bring a positive light to it. For Ulli and Daria, the low interest and fear of taking up Math and Physics stem from how it is taught in today's educational system. These subjects are taught by teachers and educators that are not experts on the topics, making it hard to translate concepts into simple explanations. Since Physics and Math are complicated and complex, making them as basic as possible is crucial to allow students to grasp the concepts. It does not also help that the system is forcing teachers to take a shortcut in teaching these subjects with the view that not all are good at them; therefore, students won't need it. This is a struggle that Daria deals with because she believes that students must understand the whole process to connect with the subject and apply it in the real world. Both agreed that to capture the interest of their students and increase their appreciation of Math and Physics, teachers like them should engage their students based on their interests and relate them in a way that students can easily understand the concepts. For parents, it is also vital to continue being curious and open to learning themselves. This way, they can be students and models themselves for their children too. Join us to learn more about being better teachers and students in learning about ourselves and the universe in this week's episode!

Why We Need To Get Rid of The Math Worksheets and Use Problem Solving and Board Games Instead Math. What feelings does that word bring up for you? Are they warm and fuzzy? Does it put a big smile on your face remembering all of the fun math lessons, problems and homework that you did? Or does the word MATH bring about feelings of anxiety? Worry? Fear? It is surprising how much weight a 4 letter word like MATH can hold. Often it's not actually the word MATH, but the memories associated with it. And if those memories are not kind or good but disheartening and shameful, then how do you approach MATH with your kids? Homeschooling Math. Unschooling Math. I get questions about this often. How should I approach Math in our home learning environment, especially if I don't feel comfortable in the subject? Or even excited about it. That's why I invited Gord Hamilton to the podcast. Gord Hamilton is a father of two teenagers—professionally best known for his board games like Santorini and as the director of MathPickle.com (A fantastic Math resource) The puzzles that he creates are easy to understand for elementary school students, but educators and mathematicians will find them engaging as well. In This Episode I have had the pleasure of hearing Gord speak about the absolute joy and fun he has with math. In fact, it's hard not to become excited about Math just listening to him. Gord's honest, kind and passionate approach to learning Math needs to be heard more. "There is no need for math to be boring. So why even go there with our kids?" In this episode we explore: What is great mathematics? Why Math should be hard Board Games and Problem Solving~Throw out the curriculum, don't kill yourself over the boring stuff and focus on Board Games, a celebration of problem solving Why we should abolish math in elementary school and replace it with problem solving Getting away from the emphasis on memorization Gord is here to support the homeschooling community. He encourages us to reach out to him! You can find him at his website https://mathpickle.com/ which is filled with games, puzzles and board game recommendations. So before you go out and spend countless dollars on a boring memorization heavy Math Curriculum with a ton of worksheets- I encourage you to try to get your family in to a MATH PICKLE instead.

Natural Learning Resources If you are new to homeschooling, are thinking about homeschooling or need some fresh ideas, then this episode is for you! In this episode I'm sharing natural learning resources and ideas that we can use in our home education journey. This applies to all forms of Homeschooling and Unschooling. This episode is for the families that are looking to try something of the school box of learning. What I share in this episode is not expensive curriculum. There is no curriculum mentioned at all, actually! Instead, these are resources, activities and tools that are easy to find and accessible within our home or community. Where To Begin? Where to begin? First I go through important steps to consider when you are beginning your homeschooling journey or when your family needs a change. I offer questions and prompts to consider on your own and with your family. Here are a few examples: What is important in your home learning journey? What does learning mean to you? Education? What do I value? My learning history. Where am I coming from? Do my past education and school experiences reflect my current reality? Are there things from my past learning experience that I would like to change? Why? What impact would that have? Engage with your children- What are they interested in? What would they like to see and do in their homeschool life? In their daily life? What would they like to create? To play? What would they like to Build? Envision your home learning journey together- What do we love to do? When do we feel safe? What core values do we want to carry through? Natural Learning Resources That My Family Has Loved I share activities and resources that have supported my family's learning journey in many ways.

Welcome back to Good Vibes with VIVE! Today's topic is math education, and our guest has a super compelling story to share. Anurupa Ganguly is the CEO and founder of Prisms of Reality, where she is reimagining math education using VR technology. According to various studies, the interest around careers in STEM is significantly low, and Anurupa attributes this to the lack of application and physical understanding embedded in our education system. She believes that the VR technology Prisms of Reality has created will bridge this gap. It is a mission-driven methodology, where students can learn the abstraction that is often missing in education. During this episode, she weighs in on why problem-based learning was not a feasible method for teachers, how the pandemic has highlighted the need for innovative technology in education, and why now is the best time to take radical steps in VR. She also shares the hands-on process that they have followed to equip teachers to introduce the VR headsets into their classrooms and which channels of support and training they are focusing on, before touching on the Sandbox they are building as a support tool for their existing technology. We hope you join us today to hear all this and more! Key Points From This Episode:An introduction to today's guest, Anurupa Ganguly.Some of the staggeringly low statistics around high schoolers' interest in careers in STEM.What Anurupa observed as a math teacher and interacting with students within that space.Why it is necessary for a child to have a vision for how they will use the knowledge they gain.How Prisms of Reality provides real life scenarios to illustrate application to students.Why she describes the product as being mission-driven rather than game-driven.How they are working to teach children abstraction which is usually missing in education.Why problem-based learning was not a feasible method for teachers.How the pandemic has highlighted the need for technology in learning.Why now is the time to take the radical step towards VR: there is funding for it!Which channels of support and training they are focusing on with the buyer driving the value, district coordinator as leader and manager, and the end user being able to facilitate.What using the headsets looks like operationally and why you don't need to use it everyday.What teachers have seen: that VR gets non-participating students to engage.Why Anurupa believes that VR is the most efficient way to teach core cognitive processes.Her ultimate vision for Prism: to become the best in class STEM learning program.Challenges and hopes for the future at Prism. Why she believes that being an education company rather than a VR one will lead to success. “If a child feels that my only role is to get the answer, perform on the test, and then that's the end of the road for what my contribution looks like and I don't have a vision for what I'm going to do with this afterwards. That's of course going to be the end of their road.” — @anurupagang“We're not game driven. We're mission driven. It's not a game that kids are playing, they're solving a mission.” — @anurupaganguly [0:08:28]Links Mentioned in Today's Episode:Anurupa Ganguly on TwitterAnurupa Ganguly on LinkedInAnurupa GangulyPrisms of Reality Pearly Chen on TwitterVIVE

Elephant Learning is a story about the concerning math proficiency statistics that continue to trend down. Students begin that downward spiral as early as pre-school. The platform equips parents and children with the tools necessary to fully understand math concepts and ultimately build confidence. It’s never too late to understand math. At a young age, many of us had the experience of being told that “we are just not a numbers person.” Half of all Americans report having math anxiety. Math is really about learning jargon. Aditya Nagrath, founder and CEO of Elephant Learning, is a very successful (4 years in business, 3M ARR) online math learning platform. Dr. Nagrath can speak about the trends and the statistics intelligently, engagingly, and at length. Dr. Nagrath has a Ph.D. in math and computer science, experience as a software engineer at the educational giant Pearson, and a contagious passion for mathematics. He started Elephant Learning to remedy concerning trends in math proficiency statistics. His expertise and his bottom line make for a dynamic interview; the software program is the cutting edge of online math education, and he's continually updating the platform based on findings from his own academic research. Lastly, it's not meant to keep your child entertained or occupied - it's important to mention parents are necessary for the method.__________________________________NEXT EPISODE:Integrity: Kids books__________________________________IMPERFECT PARENTINGFREE RESOURCE: 3 secrets to take your parenting experience beyond “The Norm”https://bit.ly/2XPM404Imperfect Parenting Website:https://imperfectparenting.netImperfect Parenting Instagram@Ip_parentingMIDLIFE PREGNANCY:Instagram:@arielgreenanderssonYoutube videoshttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUZ1BOe-Oh_6qTwBCIKzqHA

Monica Robertson is a retired teacher, math educator, grandmother and former homeschool parent. She is also my mother-in-law! I asked Monica to come on the show as a special guest to talk about her experience homeschooling, learning math and the power of looking at the world through a math lens. Math always seems to be a topic that seems to give quite a few parents feelings of angst. I often hear questions like; I am not good at math, so how will I be able to teach it to my kids if I homeschool? How do unschoolers learn math? Can kids learn math without the drills, worksheets and curriculum? Can math actually be interesting? I also see many parents that love the idea of self directed education until it comes to learning math. Somewhere we learn this idea that math is the subject that must be drilled, memorized and come with a little bit of torture, unless you happen to be a math genius. If you have beliefs similar to this, have you ever reflected on why you think that is true? Is it valid? In This Episode In this episode my mother-in-law and I talk about her experience homeschooling my husband and her views on learning. We also dive deeper into the idea of looking at the world through a math lens and why this practice is the key. We explore; Deschooling and why it's an important part of homeschooling How can we learn to look at the world through a math lens when we are uncertain in our own understanding of math The difference between a good mathematician and memorizing math facts Measuring, Spatial Awareness, Subitizing and LEGO's Encouraging Risk Taking (and what this has to do with learning math) Persistence How do we introduce math in a joy driven way? Worksheets, drills and speed- is it really a true measure of a strong mathematician? Creating math anxiety Seeing math and mathematical concepts in the tools, toys and play we may already have in our homes I would love to hear your thoughts on this episode. How do you feel about stepping away from the worksheets and drills and encouraging a math conversation? What ways are you starting to see the world through a math lens? Or do you disagree?

As a trainer of teachers who train other teachers, Sara Shunkwiler, a professor at Johns Hopkins University School of Education and tutor of dyslexia, finds it hard to access research about dyslexia and related subjects. Even with the professor's ID, she still gets blocked on a lot of research papers in the library. Research papers that could’ve helped teachers improve teaching non-linear thinking students. That is why she made it her goal to look for research papers, distill it down and share it in digestible chunks to make it accessible to fellow teachers and parents. Listen to the rest of the podcast episode to know more about the language of mathematics, how the school districts and the law is resisting dyslexia diagnosis, distance learning, and the COVID-slide.

On this episode of the Jason Cavness Experience I talk to Dr. Aditya Nagrath, Chancellor, Elephant Learning Math Academy CavnessHR website: https://www.cavnessHR.com Jason's email: jasoncavness@cavnessHR.com @cavnessHR across social media @jasoncavnessHR across social media We talk about the following What is wrong with the way the world teaches math. The importance of public speaking. Elephant Learning Math Academy. Why HR is important Aditya's Bio Dr. Aditya Nagrath is a visionary leader on a mission to change the way that the world teaches mathematics. Dr. Nagrath is the co-founded Elephant Learning Math Academy which is a gamification of a proven curriculum. On average, children in Elephant Learning learn 1.5 years of mathematics in 10 weeks using the system just 30 minutes per week. Dr. Nagrath, at age 14, taught himself C++ and continued on to read books on game development and neural networks which are the basis for modern day artificial intelligence. He graduated from the University of Denver with a dual major of Mathematics and Computer Science, continuing on to graduate school while working full time as a software developer to graduate with a PhD in Mathematics & Computer Science 7 years later. After at decade in University, Dr. Nagrath graduated to found Elephant Head Software where he lead a team of no more than 10 engineers to bring over 35 different product lines with over 50 different applications to market between 2009 and 2016. In 2016, Dr. Nagrath co-founded Elephant Learning with Professor Alvaro Arias from the University of Denver in order to bring transformational change to America's education system. 3 out of 4 students are not proficient at High School Mathematics, leading to 69% of STEM majors switching majors to a major with less mathematics. Math deficiencies happen completely amongst income lines leading to a preservation of the cycle of poverty as mathematic scores often predict high school drop out and over all scores. Elephant Learning provides mathematical activities from counting to calculus that are proven to foster deep understanding in mathematics with transformational results for children through all walks of life. Empowerment is understanding the concepts that hold us back, enjoyment in the classroom setting is understanding the teacher. Dr. Nagrath is also a seasoned public speaker, software developer, social media marketer, and businessman.

A context for disempowerment is the idea that I can't do something. The reality is that I believe human beings can achieve anything that they want, if they adapt to the situation. They take the opportunities that are presented to them. It's important to identify where you're creating contexts of disempowerment in your life. I mean, it's something else and learning now that we're kind of working on that actively because our mission is to empower and if there's a context for disempowerment, then it's very challenging to be empowering.

Mom Enough: Parenting tips, research-based advice + a few personal confessions!
Learning math is sometimes hard, and always important. Do you struggle to help your children learn math? You are not alone! Math is taught so differently today than when we were growing up. Our understanding of math learning and teaching has expanded, and our uses of math have changed dramatically with technological advances, such as artificial intelligence and machine learning. Dr. Judah Schwartz, Professor of Education Emeritus at the Harvard Graduate School of Education, joins Mom Enough to broaden our understanding of two important math learning concepts: conceptual understanding and procedural fluency. Conceptual understanding is when students know why a mathematical concept is important and when to use that concept. Procedural fluency is understanding the procedures used in math, and knowing how to use or adapt them for different circumstances.

This is Special English. I&`&m Mark Griffiths in Beijing. Here is the news.Four Chinese volunteers have concluded their 180-day stay in a sealed space capsule in south China&`&s Shenzhen City, testing technology intended for space exploration.The volunteers, three men and one woman, were selected from 2,100 candidates after the Astronaut Center of China launched a call for volunteers in May last year. They have lived in a sealed capsule with a floor space of 370 square meters for the past 180 days.The project shed light on the physiological effects of a hermetic environment and changes to biological rhythms.The volunteers told the Xinhua News Agency that they were exhausted and had suffered both mentally and physically during the latter part of the test.One of the volunteers said the support and encouragement from colleagues outside motivated them to hold on. Two other volunteers said they practiced Tai chi and read books to keep busy.One of the purposes of the project was designed to test a life support system based on technology used on the Shenzhou spacecraft.Data was collected on the growth of plants during the experiment, as well as the emotional, intellectual and physical condition of the volunteers.This is Special English.A series of awards has been presented in Beijing to people and agencies who have contributed to the development of China&`&s education industry over the past year.The annual awards, called Golden Wings, were launched by Chinese internet technology company NetEase&`&s education channel in 2009. The theme of this year&`&s awards was exploring the future of China&`&s education.Zhou Chenggang, president of New Oriental Education and Technology Group&`&s overseas study consultancy arm Vision Overseas, won the award for outstanding contribution to education.Actress Zhu Yuanyuan won an award for her role in the TV series A Love for Separation, which tells the story of a couple who send their young children away to study overseas. A vice president of NetEase Media and Technology Group said in his keynote speech that China&`&s education system is improving all the time, but is still far from perfect.A senior officer of the Chinese Society of Education said that in an era of rapidly evolving technology, the core of education is still people. He said what is significant is the interaction between teachers and students, as well as the affection between them.You&`&re listening to Special English. I&`&m Mark Griffiths in Beijing.British education officials expect the benefits of the Shanghai Mastery Model for Teaching and Learning Math to reach about half the primary schools in England as a result of an exchange program now well underway. In the third round of the program that started more than two years ago, some 30 math teachers from Shanghai ended their two-week stay in the United Kingdom, in which they shared their Chinese-style teaching methods in 35 primary schools. In July, the UK government rolled out the Chinese mastery approach to math instruction in more than 8,000 institutions, using funding of up to 41 million pounds, roughly 52 million U.S. dollars, over four years to improve British students&`& performance. Clare Fowler, director of math education policy for England at the UK Department for Education, said teaching methods for math in UK schools have changed a great deal. The exchange program between China and the UK started in September 2014, when 71 British math teachers went to Shanghai to spend time with their exchange partners at high-performing schools and colleges. Between November 2014 and March 2015, more than 120 math teachers from China taught at more than 200 schools in the UK and almost 1,000 British teachers listened to the classes taught by their Shanghai counterparts.This is Special English.Chinese and Israeli research institutes and companies are keen to cooperate on developing medical robots.Nine Israeli companies attending an exposition in Guangzhou have brought with them robotics currently used in spinal surgery and 3D imaging, as well as medicinal dosage handling devices.Israeli Robotics Association Chairperson Zvi Shiller said Israel has developed robots to help the disabled go to the toilet, shower and climb escalators. Israeli firms are actively looking for partners to produce and sell their robots in the Chinese market. More than 40 Chinese companies have shown interest during the expo, while others have pitched business ideas to their Israeli counterparts.One Chinese tech firm is investing heavily in patrol robots. A senior company official said his team have had a hard time overcoming some technological issues two years into the project and are hoping to find Israeli partners.Another Chinese tech company is working to combine speech recognition with health care. The company is working with its major shareholder China Mobile on a series of voice-to-text and text-to-voice applications.In a recent experiment with Peking University, the company designed a voice recognition device for doctors. The device captures the dialogue between doctor and patient and transcribes it into a formal diagnosis report without the doctor lifting a finger.You&`&re listening to Special English.

It’s accepted economic wisdom that the rich get richer, and the poor get poorer. But as Dr. Robert Sigler, Teresa Heinz Professor of Cognitive Psychology at Carnegie Mellon University, pointed out at TC’s 2010 Tisch Lecture, that statement applies to the accumulation of mathematical understanding as well. That is: students who enter a classroom with greater proficiency in math can grow their knowledge base at faster rates than those with lesser proficiency. (The Tisch Lecturer began with an endowment by Trustee Laurie M. Tisch to support a lecture and visiting professorship that continues for one academic year.)
