Speaking & Keynotes
Book Dr. Raj Shah for keynotes and conference presentations on transforming math education
I'm on a mission to transform math class in a place where ALL students experience the joy and wonder of mathematics.
If you are conference organizer or hosting a PD day for K-12 math teachers and you're looking for someone to energize teachers, honor their dedication, and inspire them to get out of their comfort zones, let's talk!
I help teachers use simple strategies to spark curiosity, encourage productive struggle, and foster meaningful discourse to develop deeper conceptual understanding and promote joy in the mathematics classroom.
I've had the privilege of speaking and keynoting at international, national, and state conferences, including:
- NCTM
- The National Math Festival
- CMC-South & CMC-North (California)
- Florida CTM
- Iowa CTM
- Minnesota CTM
- Ohio CTM
- CAMT (Texas)
- and many more!

Making Math Irresistible
By implementing the same psychology that video game designers use to create addictive games, teachers can spark student interest, motivate them to take on challenging tasks, and promote productive struggle — even if they have not mastered the material yet. Teachers walk away with strategies they can use the very next day.
Every Child is Brilliant
Quickly solving problems and getting the correct answers is often seen as a sign of intelligence or genius. Yet every student possesses a unique set of abilities that extend far beyond speed and accuracy. Likewise, every teacher brings untapped superpowers to the classroom. In this uplifting session, we’ll celebrate the brilliance within ourselves and our students—and explore how to build a culture where everyone can leverage their strengths to unlock the collective brilliance of the classroom.
