Hi, my name is Whitney Wells-Corfield and I am the host of Mic Drop Maths, th… Whitney Wells-Corfield needs your support for Relaunch Mic Drop Maths Podcast!
We love numberless word problems, too!
It’s important to remember who matters not what matters. The child matters more than the score and they should never feel differently. 🎤
2/22/22 is a palindrome, which means it reads the same backwards as forwards. Know what else is cool? At 10:02 PM it will be 22:22 on 2/22/22!
Is this date super meaningful in some way? No, not really. It’s actually quite useless, however, it’s fun! Humans invented a calendar system to count days and months and this particular day happens to be full of twos. Humans enjoy palindrome dates so much because they are rare AND because humans love patterns! Why do you humans love patterns? Because humans are hardwired to find patterns satisfying, which is exactly why we love math! Math is all about the study of patterns. With that said, Happy Twosday! May you love math today and all days!
Students need to know that adults try and fail, fail some more, and keep trying! To achieve skills in maths (and other subjects) we have to risk going out of our comfort zones. That’s where the most learning takes place!
Get ready for our next episode all about developing a math mindset!
Mic Drop Maths, the one and only mathematics podcast for kids, is delighted to be a member of the Kids Listen community! We cannot wait to build relationships with other podcasters who want to create and advocate for high-quality audio for children.

Where are you listening to Mic Drop Maths from?
When people ask us the mission of Mic Drop Maths we eagerly answer with, “To get people to love maths.” Many think we are joking or that loving maths is impossible, but we are absolutely serious. Let’s look passed its unfortunate reputation and see what it is really all about.
If had to summarize “What is maths?” in ten words we would say, “Maths is beautiful and about creativity, imagination, and making sense.”
How would you describe maths? Let us know in the comments below 🎤
Two new episodes will drop this month! 🎤 We are stoked to drop some fresh content your way. We hope you tune in and share with teachers, families, and students you know. Everyone has a maths brain! 🧠
Did you notice the date? 7/14/21. We see multiples of 7. Pretty skippy!
If you want to know more about multiples go check out Episode #6 Factor Factor Bo Bactor! You can listen on Apple Podcast, Spotify, Stitcher, or our website www.micdropmaths.com

We are 3/4 through our summer camp adventure and loving every second! Today we explored the world of Fibonacci! We learned how to find Fibonacci numbers, played a spiral memory game, soaked in the beauty of the golden ratio on theatre screen, and kept on recording our MDM episode all about how to grow a mathematical mindset! 🎤 We can’t wait for more popcorn tomorrow at the Ashland Theatre 🍿
We are halfway through Mic Drop Maths Podcast Camp! 🎤 Today we explored fractals found in nature with a game of Bingo, investigated the meaning of fractals by creating our own Sierpinski Triangle, saw how fractals shape our universe on the big screen, ate popcorn, and, most importantly, worked on our growth mindset! We know that maths is about thinking deeply, not quickly! We are so excited for Day 3 of math camp at the Ashland Theatre 🍿
We had a great Day 1 at Mic Drop Maths Podcast Summer Camp 🎤 Campers were introduced to growth mindset and how everyone can learn maths! We made a Möbius strip, learned about Googols, practiced recording into the microphone, played some games, and ate popcorn 🍿 We can’t wait to see everyone back at the Ashland Theatre for Day 2 🎤
Parents of rising 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders, Mic Drop Maths is excited to partner with the Ashland Theatre to host a FREE math camp July 5-8, 12-1 daily. Mic Drop Maths teacher and host Whitney Wells Corfield will be leading the camp. 🎤
