I Help Teachers Make Math Irresistible
We want to thank you for presenting to our teachers. They were very engaged and excited about your presentation and enjoyed the activities. We need everyone to hear your message!
Dr. Shah’s full day workshop was awesome! Two days later, we are still talking Math!!! It was a wonderful PD. Thank you for your time, insight AND activities.
First, I have to tell you how much my gifted teachers LOVED your presentation at the OAGC Teacher Academy! We met today and they kept going on and on about how wonderful you were, how great the presentation was, and how many ideas/concepts they were able to take away from your session!
Can I predict your pile splitting sum? Watch to find out! Be surprised... then wonder how it works?! Great problem to explore for 3rd grade and up... practice multiplication, look for patterns, discover the structure. Last #MathTreat of 2020!

Can you win this game? Who should go first? What's the optimal strategy? Does it depend on how many pennies you start with? Thanks to @fawnpnguyen for introducing me to this one. #MathTreat #iteachmath #mathchat @MathforLove

Read this! All good math learning starts with play and exploration which leads to conjectures.
Want to short circuit student thinking? Then start with the facts.
Want kids to think? Start with conjectures.

Facts end; conjectures extend. A new blog post

I have always had an affinity for math. Powered by my love of math, I earned a Ph.D. in Physics in 1999 which led to a decade in R&D at Intel. In 2008, I quit my job and founded Math Plus Academy, an after-school STEM enrichment program for kids from ages 5 – 14. I'm also proud to be a founding member of The Global Math Project. In addition, I also help lead a Math Teacher Circle and host the Julia Robinson Math Festival in Columbus, Ohio.
Over the last several years, I have worked with numerous school districts throughout the country and presented at numerous conferences including NCTM Annual, NCSM Annual, and the National Math Festival.
