What if math anxiety isn’t about intelligence at all? In this episode of Parenting Shrink Wrapped, Sam and Melissa sit down with Dr. Aditya Nagrath, founder of Elephant Learning Mathematics Academy, to explore why so many kids struggle with math and what parents can do to help. Together, they unpack how missing foundational number concepts can create frustration, avoidance, and anxiety later in middle school and high school, especially around algebra. This conversation offers practical insight into how parents can support confidence, reduce overwhelm, and help kids reconnect with learning in a healthier way.

In this episode of the Homeschool Your Kids podcast, host Jae sits down with Dr. Aditya Nagrath, the founder of Elephant Learning Mathematics Academy and author of Treating Mathematics Anxiety. They explore the startling reality that many children enter kindergarten unprepared for the math curriculum due to a gap in language and vocabulary. Dr. Nagrath explains why viewing math as a language rather than just a set of rules can transform a childs confidence and performance.You will learn about the basketball analogy for learning math, the importance of conceptual understanding over rote memorization, and how the Elephant Learning app helps students from age two through algebra. Dr. Nagrath also shares his personal wellness routine and offers three essential tips for parents to help their children succeed in mathematics. Whether your child is just starting out or struggling with high school algebra, this conversation provides a roadmap for building a strong mathematical foundation.

This week, Ryan sits with Dr. Aditya Nagrath, acclaimed mathematician and the best-selling author of Treating Mathematics Anxiety: Inclusive Strategies for Working with Students Exhibiting Mathematics Anxiety. Dr. Nagrath discusses the gap in kindergarten math learners, helping students understand the subject at an early age, implications as they advance in mathematical topics, addressing skill gaps in math and how other subjects can be impacted, how artificial intelligence can support educators, and more. Tune in!

Dr. Aditya Nagrath joins The Hamilton Review to share how Elephant Learning is transforming the way children engage with mathematics. He explains why traditional teaching often leaves students behind and how his system helps them overcome math anxiety. With just 10 minutes a day, three times a week, students can advance years ahead in their math skills. Drawing on his background as a PhD in Mathematics and Computer Science and decades of experience in software engineering, Dr. Nagrath describes his mission to change the way the world teaches math. He highlights success stories from over 160,000 students worldwide and emphasizes the importance of building confidence in young learners.

Aditya Nagrath recognizes that math anxiety is a real challenge for many students, and he identifies memorization as one of its main causes. To address this, he wrote Treating Mathematics Anxiety and developed the Elephant Learning system, both of which emphasize building true understanding of mathematical concepts rather than rote memorization. His approach is so effective that he guarantees students can master a full year of mathematics in just three months using his system. In this podcast episode, Aditya shares his insights and practical steps to help children overcome math anxiety.

Gamification is the idea that we could turn what would be work or education or some sort of goal into a game. And the reason why this is so important is because if we can turn it into a game, then the consequences of not potentially answering correctly or necessarily accomplishing the goal on the first try becomes “try again.” You see, like when you’re playing a game like basketball, for example, if the ball doesn’t go in the hoop the first time, from a coaching perspective, what you tell the player is to shoot again. And so like, it’s important for the student to get the feeling that they have more than one shot at trying to get whatever it is they’re working on and trying to understand it. So what we really recommend is that you work with your student from the perspective of treating mathematics as a language, a lot actually just boils down to language.

Paula Haddock interviews Chancellor, Dr. Aditya Nagrath PhD regarding his online mathematics learning academy.

Did you know that Preschool math scores predict 5th grade performance, and 8th grade math scores predict high school drop-out rates? Most high paying jobs, from software development to engineering, from data analysis to architecture – all need math, yet only 25% of high school students are meeting the math standards. Aditya Nagrath is the CEO and Co-Founder at Elephant Learning Math Academy, an automated math academy that guarantees your child will learn one year of math in three months with only 30 minutes a day. Elephant Learning was founded by two university mathematicians who based their methods on hundreds of years of research, and have now taught over a million months of math to students. In this episode, Aditya talks about how to find out your kids' math age, how e-learning help and how his approach equips parents and children with the tools necessary for math success.
