In this episode, I talk with educator and author Susan Midlarsky about her book The Art of Learning Math: A Manual for Success.
We explore how math can be more than numbers—how it can help students see patterns in life, solve problems creatively, and rebuild confidence after math-related stress or trauma.
Susan shares:
How recognizing relationships and patterns helps students make sense of math and the world
Ways to address math anxiety and trauma with compassion and curiosity
The importance of student-led problem solving over rote memorization
How connecting math to real life builds confidence and resilience
This episode is perfect for educators, parents, or anyone looking to make math a more meaningful, empowering experience for learners of all ages.
