This week on the podcast we have Dr. Nagrath. You'll find that our frank conversation really focused on what it takes to build a results-based education system around math. For timestamps, see below.
Shining a light on several important issues and topics currently impacting society, ADVANCEMENTS looks at the issues surrounding the gap in math learning which can impact a young child's life FOREVER. And how Elephant Learning Math Academy has created the new way to learn math which guarantees your child will learn 1 year of math in 3 months.
Recently, we had an insightful discussion with Aditya Nagrath, PhD – the founder and CEO of the online learning platform elephantlearning.com – regarding mathematics. Aditya said that people don’t necessarily suck at math – it’s just that there is a language gap between the student and the teacher. And it is this that their platform is geared to do by bridging that gap so teachers or parents could be more effective in communicating towards the student.
Dr. Vaish Sarathy and Dr. Aditya Nagrath explore why math anxiety emerges earlier and more intensely than other academic fears, especially among children with disabilities. They argue that the issue isn’t math itself, but the emotional weight and misconceptions tied to it—like the myth of not being a “math person.” Their conversation emphasizes meeting learners at their level and rethinking readiness, offering hope to both parents and educators seeking a better path forward.
Many students lose ground in math over the summer, but one approach is showing promising results with just 30 minutes a week.
