DESCRIPTION:Monday\, September 16\, 2024\, 7:00 PM\, Math Mind: The Simple Path to Loving Math\, a FAN webinar featuring Shalinee Sharma in conversation with Angela Duckworth\, Ph.D. (FAN ’12\, ‘16). \nREGISTER: www.bit.ly/SharmaFANWebinar \nBONUS AFTER-HOURS EVENT: Attendees who purchase a copy of Math Mind from FAN’s partner bookseller The Book Stall are invited to attend an AFTER-HOURS event hosted by Sharma that will start immediately after the webinar. AND: FAN will gift a second copy of the book to After-Hours guests! Details on the webinar registration page. \nIn her new book\, Math Mind: The Simple Path to Loving Math\, Shalinee Sharma\, one of the world’s top experts on math learning\, shows how complex problem solving and puzzle solving\, abstract and logical thinking\, developing fluency with numbers\, and cultivating persistence in math are crucial skills for success that can be taught to everyone and how math\, far from being a dry\, dull exercise\, shares common ground with art and creativity. She also debunks the myths that prevent us from learning and enjoying math\, with chapters dedicated to the three roadblocks that discourage adults and kids from learning. \nSharma is the CEO and cofounder of Zearn\, a nonprofit educational organization behind the top-rated math-learning platform used by one in four elementary-school students and by one million middle-school students nationwide. In addition to her role at Zearn\, she serves on the Braven board of directors\, is a Pahara-Aspen Fellow\, and serves as cochair of the Brown University Advisory Council for the College. She has an MBA from Harvard Business School and a BA from Brown University. A child of refugees\, Sharma is passionate about universal access to an excellent education. \nSharma will be in conversation with Angela Duckworth\, Ph.D. (FAN ’12\, ’16)\, co-founder of Character Lab\, the Rosa Lee and Egbert Chang Professor at the University of Pennsylvania\, faculty co-director of the Penn-Wharton Behavior Change for Good Initiative\, founding faculty co-director of Wharton People Analytics\, and author of the international bestseller Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance. \nThis event is suitable for youth 12+.
