I’m so excited about the latest episode of The Kitchen Hour Podcast, featuring author, blogger, and math instructor Laura Laing. In the podcast Laura and I discuss the “new math,” how to beef up your child’s (and your own!) “numeracy” (numerical literacy), how to find the fun in numbers, and why math really, really doesn’t have to be scary.
