  • Broadening my horizon one problem at a time

    So, I don’t even teach Math, but I love this podcast. Listen to it I the car while on autopilot to do some brain exercises in my head.

    1. I love Mona’s voice.

    2. I’m SO impressed with how much science there actually is to learning Math.

    3. Can I please go back to 2nd grade and learn Math from someone who learned from Mona?
