What do horoscopes and homework have in common? More than you think—especially in the world of inclusive math education. In this episode, Mona sits down with Vanessa Vakharia, aka The Math Guru, to talk about smashing stereotypes, redefining math identity, and using creativity (yes, even astrology!) to reimagine math class as a space for joy and empowerment.

🎧 Tune In, Smash the System, and Reimagine Math Education

This episode is a must-listen for any educator ready to rethink what math class can and should be. Whether you’re curious about astrology or just tired of the “one right answer” narrative, Vanessa and Mona will inspire you to build a math classroom full of creativity, equity, and true student voice.
