Exciting things ahead!
Hello, World!
This is the inaugural post for my new project, The Numeracy Project. Please bare with me as I get things rolling because this is far outside my comfort zone!
Who is Santhra Thambidurai?
I’m a math teacher, tutor, mother-of-two, entrepreneur, and lifelong learner. You can find out more about me by checking out my About Me and Experience pages.
What is the Numeracy Project about?
I am looking to help students, parents, and teachers connect the dots between what they’re learning in school with how it is used in the real world. I am looking to answer questions like:
- What sort of career opportunities exist if I’m interested in Statistics?
- If I’m interested in being a doctor, what sort of math would help me do my job better?
How will I do it?
The main engine of this project will be The Numeracy Report, a podcast where I interview professionals across various industries to dive deeper into how math is used in their worlds. I will also look to write posts and highlight recent news that may be of interest to students and teachers.
How can you get involved?
You can do a number of things:
- Fill out this five-minute survey to help shape the project
- Subscribe to my social channels to be informed of new content
- Share this page/post with anyone else you think may find this interesting
What’s next?
Stay tuned for the 1st episode of The Numeracy Report to be published in the next two weeks!
Until then, please stay safe and keep learning!
Santhra
