What if math wasn’t about fear, marks, or memorization — but about thinking, curiosity, and confidence?

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.
