THINK Business

Jon Dwoskin

Jon talks with Aditya Nagrath, founder and CEO of Elephant Learning, about how simplifying learning and business makes successful students and business owners - from math in colors to business in labels. Aditya Nagrath is the founder and CEO of the world’s most effective math learning platform — Elephant Learning. Build math intuition and overcome math anxiety from preschool to middle school mathematics with a low monthly subscription fee. Elephant Learning is a story about the concerning math proficiency statistics that continue to trend down. Students begin that downward spiral as early as pre-school. Our platform equips parents and children with the tools necessary to fully understand math concepts and ultimately build confidence. I know that it is never too late to understand math. At a young age, many of us had the experience of being told that “we are just not a numbers person.” Books have been written on this social phenomenon, and half of all Americans report having math anxiety. As it turns out, mathematics is really about learning jargon, a jargon that is so fundamental to humanity that we consider it vocabulary.

Jen Rogers

Did you know that 50% of Americans have math anxiety? So says my next guest, Dr. Aditya Nagrath. Find out how 2+2 = stepfamily success, while acknowledging the risks involved in developing skills in areas that are difficult for us. Listen in to today's episode of Blended on the Bluff, featuring Dr. Aditya Nagrath, Chancellor at Elephant Learning and Chief executive officer at Elephant Head Software. Oftentimes in blended families, we are in the business of risk…risk of emotions overtaking any family member, risk of rejection or risk of failure. Yet, we are called to be an “investor.” A steward. A blended parent who doesn’t have all the answers but is willing to put him or herself out there because God has called them to this family.
