Hidden Problem In How Math Is Taught | TMT With Sunil Singh

Why Kids Think They’re Bad at Math | Dr Garima ft. Sunil Singh | The Math Talks Right now, somewhere a child is sitting at a table, staring at a worksheet, believing they’re bad at math. Not because they can’t think — but because they’ve been taught that thinking takes too long. Welcome to Math Talks with Dr. Garima — a podcast that questions how we teach, learn, and experience mathematics. This isn’t about tricks to score higher marks or shortcuts to solve equations faster. It’s about something much deeper: why so many children stop trusting their own thinking. In this powerful episode, Dr. Garima speaks with Sunil Singh, one of the most honest and thought-provoking voices in math education today. Sunil spent 19 years teaching math, physics, and English in classrooms across the world — from Toronto to Switzerland — before stepping away from traditional teaching. Not because he stopped loving math, but because he could no longer ignore what the system was doing to it. He has delivered keynotes globally, led workshops at the National Museum of Mathematics, collaborated with the Royal Conservatory of Music, written multiple books, and co-founded the Global Math Summit. But his core belief challenges everything many of us grew up believing: Children don’t fail math — math fails children. When mathematics is reduced to procedures, stripped of story, and taught as compliance instead of curiosity, students begin to believe the problem is them. In this conversation, we explore: • Why is math anxiety created in classrooms • How traditional systems train children to stop trusting their thinking • Why worksheets and memorisation often kill curiosity • What math actually looks like when it’s taught as a language of patterns and stories • How parents and educators can rethink the way children experience math This episode is especially for: • Parents worried about the pressure their children face in school • Teachers who feel something is broken in the education system • Anyone who believes learning should spark curiosity, not fear Because math was never meant to be something children survive. It was meant to be something they experience and live. Watch the full conversation to rethink what math education could truly look like. 👍 Like, share, and subscribe for more conversations on education, learning, and the future of thinking. #matheducation #educationpodcast #mathlearning #parentingtips #educationreform #learningmindset #drgarima #sunilsingh #educationindia #futureofeducation
