Why do so many children grow up believing they are “bad at math”? Is the problem really the subject — or the way it’s being taught?

In this thought-provoking episode of Math Talks, Dr. Garima sits down with renowned educator, author, and global speaker Sunil Singh to question one of the biggest assumptions in education.

After nearly two decades of teaching across countries — from Toronto to Switzerland — Sunil stepped away from traditional classrooms, not because he stopped loving math, but because he could no longer ignore what the system was doing to it.

Together, they explore why math has become one of the most feared subjects for children around the world, how traditional teaching methods often train students to stop trusting their own thinking, and why math should actually be experienced as a living language of patterns, stories, and curiosity.

This conversation goes beyond marks, worksheets, and quick fixes. It challenges the way we understand learning itself — and invites parents and educators to rethink how children experience mathematics.

If you’ve ever watched a child struggle with math and wondered if something deeper is broken in the system, this episode will give you a completely new perspective.

In this thought-provoking podcast in the Math Talk Series, Makiri Pough shares a powerful perspective on Artificial Intelligence and how it should actually be used in education.

AI is often treated like something revolutionary or magical. But as Makiri Pough explains, AI is simply a tool — much like a calculator or a mobile phone. Its power depends entirely on how thoughtfully we use it.

Instead of using AI just because it is trending, we need to ask a much more important question:
What real problem are we trying to solve?

In this episode, Dr. Garima discusses:

• Why AI should not be romanticized
• The importance of using AI with clear intent
• How the future of education is shifting from speed to deep understanding
• Why success will be defined by thinking ability, flexibility, and confidence

According to her, the next generation will succeed not by answering quickly, but by thinking deeply and engaging with the world thoughtfully.

faster answers, higher scores, fewer mistakes.

But that’s not how math works in the real world.

In this episode of Math Talks, we explore why competitive math classrooms fail to create real understanding — and what actually helps learning stick.

When students make mistakes or show misconceptions, it’s not a failure.

It’s proof that they’re thinking.

Research and classroom experience show that children are capable of far more than we assume. They can reason, spot patterns, and make generalizations — if we allow them to think instead of rushing them to answers.

In this conversation, we unpack:

Why speed and competition weaken understanding

What misconceptions really tell us about a child’s thinking

How learning enters the brain — and why explanation alone doesn’t work

Why students must use their brain to truly own what they learn

How parents and teachers can shift from performance to thinking

If you want children to understand math, remember it, and use it confidently, this episode will change how you look at learning.

✨ Because learning doesn’t happen by being told.

It happens by thinking.

Welcome to Math Talks, a podcast that goes beyond formulas and grades to explore what truly matters in a child’s learning journey.

Hosted by Dr. Garima V Arora — math educator, mother, and co-founder of Uncover Mathiness — this podcast brings together leading educators, thinkers, and change-makers from around the world to reimagine how children learn math and, more importantly, how they learn to think.

In each episode, we explore:

Why curiosity matters more than curriculum

How early learning shapes confidence for life

Why pressure, tuition culture, and marks often backfire

How parents and teachers can raise problem solvers, not rote learners

What math education needs in an AI-driven world

🎙️ In this episode, Dr. Garima speaks with Nadia Abdelal, an internationally respected math education specialist with over 20 years of experience across classrooms, national organizations, and global education communities. Nadia is also the co-founder of the AMSI Maths Talk podcast and a passionate advocate for joyful, meaningful, and human-centered math learning.

Together, they discuss:

Why children lose curiosity — and how to notice the early signs

The biggest myths around “math kids” vs “non-math kids”

Why worksheets and early pressure can harm learning

How play, storytelling, and everyday conversations build real understanding

What parents should focus on in the first 5–7 years of a child’s life

Whether you’re a parent, teacher, or simply curious about how children learn, this podcast is for you.

✨ Let’s reimagine math — and education — for the world our children are stepping into.

How we’ve been taught Math is.

Welcome to The Math Talks — a podcast that goes beyond formulas, marks, and memorisation.

In this show, we sit down with educators, thinkers, researchers, and real classroom practitioners from around the world to explore:

• Why so many students fear Math
• What traditional schooling gets wrong about learning
• How Math shapes thinking, decision-making, and problem-solving in real life
• What Math education must look like in an AI-driven world

Hosted by Dr. Garima, The Math Talks is about uncomfortable truths, honest conversations, and reimagining Math as a language of thinking — not a subject to survive.
