Math class can be beautiful, enchanting, and fun, and technology can help us make that happen. But first, we've gotta let go of a few things... join Adam and Ryan as they have a wonderful and fascinating conversation with Sunil Singh, author of "Math Recess: Playful Learning for an Age of Disruption."

Ever wonder what it would be like if your math teacher was like, the editor of TMZ and like, if your textbook was filled with juicy goss about all of those seemingly-boring-actually-scandalous mathematicians that plagued your high school existence? Today Vanessa talks to Sunil Singh about how different our relationship to math would be if we humanized mathematics through storytelling, and - he spills the TEA, bigtime!About SunilSunil Singh was a high school math and physics teacher for 19 years and has taught every grade level in places from Canada to Switzerland.  He is the author of Pi of Life: The Hidden Happiness of Mathematics and Math Recess: Playful Learning in an Age of Disruption. He is also a co-editor at Q.E.D., a very popular blog for "disruptive" math writing, and was also a regular writer for The New York Times Numberplay section.Follow Sunil on Twitter @MathgardenToday’s show notes & links: themathguru.ca/maththerapy/sunilsinghReach Vanessa on all socials: @themathguru

This is an audio version of our Summit on September 22nd, 2019.Sunil Singh is author of Pi of Life and co-author of Math Recess: Playful Learning in an Age of Disruption, whose expert focus is on revolutionizing the math curriculum through philosophical conversation, decolonizing the content, and redefining the narrative.In this interactive discussion, we discussed revolutionary thinking of mathematics education and how to instill a humanized mathematics curriculum into our schools.What does it mean to have a “humanized mathematics curriculum”? How does this differ from the predominant way mathematics is taught?How can we redefine what “success” looks like in mathematics, as well as lessen math anxiety and promote wellness in the classroom?How can we make substantial changes to the process and curriculum to make mathematics more engaging? (e.g. social justice, real life scenarios, PBL, decolonization)Why is it imperative that we implement these changes? What specific notes will you take away from this conversation? What questions and concerns do you still have? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
