Bio
Monica Neagoy is an author, international consultant, and popular keynote speaker with a contagious passion for mathematics. In addition to writing books, her 25-year mathematics career has included teacher professional development, math specialist training, live television courses, video creation, math app conception, and live math shows, such as MathMagic. Whether in the United States, Europe, or elsewhere; whether presenting in English, French, or Spanish; whether working with teachers, parents, or students, Dr. Neagoy’s lifelong goal has been to cultivate and inspire a fascination for the beauty, power, and wonder of mathematics.
Dr. Neagoy’s mathematical expertise spans grades preK through 12. After creating more than 50 videos for high school–level mathematics—including video series for Discovery Education and The Annenberg Channel—over the past decade, she has focused on grades preK–8. She’s convinced that if a child enters middle school disenchanted with mathematics, the probability of rekindling a love for mathematics is slim.
Having begun her teaching career in the Georgetown University Mathematics Department and then serving as program director at the National Science Foundation, Dr. Neagoy’s knowledge of higher mathematics enables her to empower teachers and parents to appreciate the bridges from early concrete mathematics to advanced mathematics. She is the author of two books on Early Algebra published by Corwin Press (https://us.corwin.com ) entitled Planting the Seeds of Algebra, PreK–2 (2012) and Planting the Seeds of Algebra, 3–5 (2014), and of a brand new book on Fractions co-published by ASCD (http://www.ascd.org ) and NCTM (http://www.nctm.org) entitled Unpacking Fractions: Classroom-Tested Strategies to Build Students’ Mathematical Understanding (2017).
Presently living in Paris, France, giving talks and offering professional development throughout Europe and the United States, she is the director and lead author of the elementary mathematics textbook series entitled Maths, Méthode de Singapour, a brand new adaptation of Singapore Mathematics to the latest French math standards published by http://www.lalibrairiedesecoles.com. Finally, she collaborates with two Israeli math colleagues, Zvi Shalem and Gali Shimoni, in the conception and creation of original and exciting math apps (http://www.apps4math.com ).
