The Hamilton Today Podcast with Scott Radley: Last year around this time, one of the small businesses that was featured on the show was Ottawa Street's brand-new shop, The Cabinet of Curiousities (and Otherwise Needful Things.) Mark Draak's niche “imaginarium of antiques, collectibles, oddities, curiosities, and a cornucopia of whatchamacallits” has not only survived but thrived – catering to not only citizens but also to film and television productions that are shooting in the area. McMaster University in Hamilton has announced its plans to build a new student residence named after the late Lincoln Alexander. Mayor Fred Eisenberger returned from New York yesterday evening. He had been in the city on a one-day trip for the Hamilton Commonwealth 2030 Bid delegation to meet the Birmingham Group regarding Hamilton's bid for the Commonwealth Games. If Taiwan is invaded by China, it could make the current global supply chain struggles look like a cake walk: it is not just the semiconductors, our world's tech is tied up in Taiwan. With the Hamilton Election fast approaching, we look at the issue of misinformation and disinformation in elections on a wider scale. A former senior officer from the Ontario Provincial Police says early meetings with the Ottawa police and experts other agencies sent to help out during protests against COVID-19 restrictions early this year were “unprofessional and disrespectful.” All this and more on Hamilton Today. Guests: Mark Draak, founder and co-owner of Cabinet of Curiosities. Sean Van Koughnett, Associate Vice-President (Students and Learning) and Dean of Students, McMaster University. Rick Zamperin, Host of Good Morning Hamilton, and The Fifth Quarter, CHML Sports Director. Fred Eisenberger, Mayor, City of Hamilton. Carmi Levy Technology Analyst & Journalist.

Vanessa Vakharia aka The Math Guru joins us on the show today to talk about why stereotypes are the biggest obstacle when it comes to teaching math, why failing Grade 11 math twice was the best thing that ever happened to her, and why the world would be a better place if math was as cool as The Kardashians! You'll Learn: What math trauma is and how every one of us can be a math therapist;Why it is critical to set goals that are not anxiety inducing in math class;Why student-centered learning needs to be about more than just curriculum content;The secret to being the best math teacher in the world (hint: Ted Lasso)Resources: Venssa's website: www.themathguru.caVenssa's podcast: www.maththerapypodcast.comVenssa's thesis: https://open.library.ubc.ca/soa/cIRcle/collections/ubctheses/24/items/1.0071315Venssa's band: www.goodnightsunrise.comVenssa's socials:Everything: @themathguruVenssa's band:IG: www.instagram.com/goodnightsunrisebandTwitter: www.twitter.com/gnsrbandFG: www.facebook.com/gnsrbandPlease help new listeners find the show.

One of the missions of this podcast is challenging stereotypes, and on today's episode we tackle a big one: Asians and math. Steven Tran grew up with Asian parents, and the pressures and expectations from his family, community, and society as a whole affected his perception of his own math ability.  Getting caught cheating in high school could have led him down a very different educational path if not for a teacher that treated him with genuine care and compassion, and, most importantly, believed in Steven and told him so.  Steven tells Vanessa about how that experience informed his own approach to teaching his students math as a tutor at The Math Guru.About StevenSteven Tran is an undergraduate student at Ryerson in the Biomedical Sciences program, working as a tutor and in a startup.Show notes:Visions of Science, where Steven worked and had his great mentor, Cam!Connect with us:Vanessa Vakharia: @themathguru (Insta, Twitter, TikTok)Math Therapy: @maththerapy (Twitter)

Nothing shows how important teacher-student relationships can be than actually being friends with some of your students over a DECADE later, as is the case with Vanessa and Sophie Soberano. Sophie was one of Vanessa's first tutoring students, long before The Math Guru even existed!

Whether you're a teacher, a student, a parent, or you just want to hear some hope and optimism about overcoming math anxiety, this episode is for you.About SophieSophie Soberano has a passion for early childhood education.

Can media subtly alter the way you perceive something? Internet and technology have made the world a global village. With constant access to media and the fast pace of changing trends, subtle impressions of the way women are represented in math and STEM are still impacting our students' views of math.  This episode features The Math Guru, Vanessa Vakharia. The author of Math Hacks, Vanessa appears regularly on national television and news outlets as an expert in math education and speaks globally at conferences about re-inventing media representations of women in STEM. Her goal is to totally change math culture so that STEM is finally as cool and accessible as every single Taylor Swift song.  Tune in to this jazzy conversation with Vanessa, where we discuss inappropriate representations of math in the media and how you, as a teacher, can help students grow beyond that. Allison and Vanessa discuss: The influence of media on young minds [2.15] Inappropriate representations of math in media [3.35] How mainstream fashion brands are influencing mindset for math in kids [11.15] How can you, as a teacher, can counter these negative representations of math [12.56]  How Vanessa became the Lady Gaga of Math despite failing in math twice [19.36] Math-In-The-Media Assignment for students:  Perform a character sketch of a character from a movie or TV series who is good at math. Write about the interests and background of the character, along with the plot of the story. Have the students present their findings and discuss how the characters who love math were portrayed. Bonus question: If you could rewrite these movies or change the character, what changes would you make? Show a math movie and discuss how it portrays math.

Why Not Both is an exploration of how our multiple passions shape our identity, hosted by musician and therapist Pam Shaffer and produced by writer and photographer Laura Studarus. For our fourth season, we partnered up with Under The Radar to explore the lives of musicians, writers, actors, and creatives. Between the music with her band Goodnight, Sunrise, and teaching math at The Math Guru, and the magic, Vanessa Vakharia is a wonderfully busy woman. Over the past year, she took advantage of the extra time at home to write a new album and learn that maybe she was more of a morning lark (despite her love of playing late night shows) all while running her own math tutoring studio. Basically, we just love that she is unapologetically a brilliant badass in multiple spheres. Thanks again for listening!

It is no exaggeration to say that this podcast (and Vanessa’s entire career in math education) would not exist if she hadn't crossed paths with superhero math teacher Ewa Kasinska in high school. Today, Ewa spills the tea on what Vanessa was like as a 17-year-old, how she managed to turn a math-hater into a Math Guru, and what the media gets wrong about teachers, and she also shares her fave tips for teachers on how to engage, inspire, and excite even the most skeptical students.  Ewa also came VERY prepared, and the conversation starts out basically like an episode of Ellen with a blast from Vanessa’s past!About EwaEwa Kasinska is a mathematics tutor, teacher, and principal who provides support in ways which ensure each student's success. Whether a student wishes to maintain high results, or has often struggled with the subject, Ewa knows how to help. She explains “how” and “why”, not simply guides towards solutions.

Approaches to math curriculum have shifted since we were in school, complicating our efforts to help our kids when they get stuck. The new math? The new new math?
