Title
Author, speaker, PD provider, and international math consultant
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 ). Read more about Dr. Neagoy’s work on her website: http://www.monicaneagoy.com/
