Math in prison, chaotic podcast energy, and the legend of Sister Beth (summer mailbag) · Math Therapy

• 0:03
  Vanessa Vakharia: Oh my God, guys.
• 0:04
  Vanessa Vakharia: Hello, and welcome to another episode of Math Therapy.
• 0:07
  Vanessa Vakharia: It is now summer for all of us.
• 0:09
  Vanessa Vakharia: We've all caught up to one another.
• 0:11
  Vanessa Vakharia: We're all on summer break, which means it feels like the vibe is writing letters home from camp.
• 0:19
  Vanessa Vakharia: You know what I mean?
• 0:19
  Vanessa Vakharia: I mean, that's a stretch.
• 0:20
  Vanessa Vakharia: This is my fancy way of saying we are gonna do another mailbag episode today.
• 0:24
  Vanessa Vakharia: Our last mailbag episode was in April, and I loved it so much because I'm always telling you guys to text the podcast, and then you do, and I'm like,"Oh my God, I need to share the incredible stuff you guys are texting." So we're doing another one today because so many texts have come in since April.
• 0:40
  Vanessa Vakharia: So it's time.
• 0:41
  Vanessa Vakharia: Now, I also have to say, like 100 of the texts we got last month were texts to enter the TI giveaway, so we won't be reading any of those out.
• 0:51
  Vanessa Vakharia: But a lot of the texts of you guys entering the giveaway, I mean, a lot of you said some nice things like you were longtime listeners, you discovered the episode because of the Texas Instruments giveaway and loved it, which is so cool, so welcome to our new audience.
• 1:05
  Vanessa Vakharia: And most commonly, everyone is obsessed with the calculator plushy and would do anything to get one.
• 1:13
  Vanessa Vakharia: Now- I know what this feels like, okay?
• 1:16
  Vanessa Vakharia: Because the thing with Texas Instruments is they do this thing where they, like, release, like, merch that you can't buy, and they do a really good job.
• 1:25
  Vanessa Vakharia: This is honestly part of the reason I'm obsessed with them, because you guys know I'm all about, like, making math fun and cool, and, like, I think very few companies actually do that, but Texas Instruments has always done that.
• 1:34
  Vanessa Vakharia: I remember one year they released this, like, it was like a floaty for a swimming pool.
• 1:39
  Vanessa Vakharia: It was like a giant calculator you could, like, float on.
• 1:42
  Vanessa Vakharia: I wanted one so badly, but they wouldn't...
• 1:44
  Vanessa Vakharia: Like, I couldn't even enter the giveaway'cause they wouldn't ship to Canada at the time.
• 1:48
  Vanessa Vakharia: Then you guys know the Texas Instruments Christmas sweater, right?
• 1:51
  Vanessa Vakharia: Like, oh my God, I wanted that thing for years.
• 1:54
  Vanessa Vakharia: Then I finally had, like, someone who, like, worked as an influencer with Texas Instruments on the podcast, and I was like,"Listen, you need to tell me how to get one of these sweaters." And she was like,"Oh my God.
• 2:04
  Vanessa Vakharia: I really, like, don't know how." But I was like,"Okay, this is my official call-out." And I guess Texas Instruments listened because I finally got that sweater in 2021, and it was my most favorite thing ever.
• 2:15
  Vanessa Vakharia: Anyways, I don't know why I'm still talking about this.
• 2:17
  Vanessa Vakharia: My point is that now there are these plushies, and you can only get the plushy if you win the giveaway.
• 2:23
  Vanessa Vakharia: Like, you can't buy them, and actually, I really don't know why.
• 2:26
  Vanessa Vakharia: I'm gonna ask them.
• 2:27
  Vanessa Vakharia: Like, why?
• 2:27
  Vanessa Vakharia: What's the reason?
• 2:28
  Vanessa Vakharia: Like, people want them.
• 2:29
  Vanessa Vakharia: The fans want the plushies.
• 2:31
  Vanessa Vakharia: Anyways, all that being said, we will be doing another giveaway for the Oh My Math box next month, so in July on the podcast.
• 2:38
  Vanessa Vakharia: Maybe it's July when you're listening to this.
• 2:39
  Vanessa Vakharia: I actually don't know when this episode is coming out.
• 2:41
  Vanessa Vakharia: Okay, whatever.
• 2:41
  Vanessa Vakharia: We're doing another giveaway, so maybe you'll win a plushy.
• 2:44
  Vanessa Vakharia: Okay, I should not have talked about that for that long.
• 2:46
  Vanessa Vakharia: Okay, anyways, the point is it is so nice to hear from you guys.
• 2:49
  Vanessa Vakharia: Honestly, with podcasts, you never know who's listening, so it's really nice to know it's actual people and to hear, like, how many different people the pod is reaching, so thank you for being here.
• 2:58
  Vanessa Vakharia: So let's get, let's get straight to your texts.
• 3:01
  Vanessa Vakharia: I mean, I've now been talking for five minutes about a plushy calculator, so whatever.
• 3:06
  Vanessa Vakharia: Now, I know it's super clickbaity, but the best one is at the end.
• 3:10
  Vanessa Vakharia: I am saving the best for last.
• 3:11
  Vanessa Vakharia: I am, I am.
• 3:12
  Vanessa Vakharia: They're all great, but the best one is at the end.
• 3:14
  Vanessa Vakharia: So that might sound clickbaity, but it's true, so listen to the whole thing'cause I promise it will be worth it.
• 3:21
  Vanessa Vakharia: Okay, the first text is from Northbrook, Illinois, who actually sent this back in December, which is appropriate for me to read now because I'm seriously in major Christmas withdrawal.
• 3:30
  Vanessa Vakharia: And that is neither here nor there, but it reminds me that Allison Mello's Get Your Workshop On conference is happening at the beginning of August.
• 3:37
  Vanessa Vakharia: I am one of the keynotes, and the theme is"Christmas in Summer".
• 3:40
  Vanessa Vakharia: Like, everything is going to be Christmas-themed.
• 3:42
  Vanessa Vakharia: All the sessions are Christmas-themed, like the decor, the snacks.
• 3:46
  Vanessa Vakharia: Anyways, you can still register if you wanna come.
• 3:49
  Vanessa Vakharia: It is in Massachusetts at Gillette Stadium.
• 3:53
  Vanessa Vakharia: That's right, it's at Gillette Stadium.
• 3:55
  Vanessa Vakharia: Okay, anyways, okay, sorry, focus, focus, focus.
• 3:58
  Vanessa Vakharia: Here is the text:"Hi, Vanessa and crew.
• 4:00
  Vanessa Vakharia: I am a special education teacher who works as a math specialist in a therapeutic day school.
• 4:05
  Vanessa Vakharia: I love your whole deal, your professional development, going to one in April, your podcast, your mission, your swag, I got a sweatshirt, et cetera.
• 4:14
  Vanessa Vakharia: I have noticed all the math trauma for years, and I've been teaching for a while, and I'm so glad you're calling it out.
• 4:19
  Vanessa Vakharia: And my birthday is Pi Day.
• 4:21
  Vanessa Vakharia: Sending you a message because you asked who listens.
• 4:24
  Vanessa Vakharia: I do." That is so-- Okay, well, now, hold on a second.
• 4:28
  Vanessa Vakharia: I feel like I'm not even connecting the dots,'cause whoever you are from Northbrook, you said you were going to a PD in April.
• 4:35
  Vanessa Vakharia: Which one did you go to?
• 4:36
  Vanessa Vakharia: Did you say hi?
• 4:36
  Vanessa Vakharia: Did you tell me about this text?
• 4:37
  Vanessa Vakharia: I don't think you did.
• 4:38
  Vanessa Vakharia: So hello, hi, welcome.
• 4:40
  Vanessa Vakharia: This is so awesome, and I just love the idea of a therapeutic day school.
• 4:45
  Vanessa Vakharia: I love the entire thing because, you know, part of why I wrote Math Therapy is therapy gets such a bad rep, right?
• 4:51
  Vanessa Vakharia: You know, we think it's like this whole big thing, when really, as teachers, we're healers.
• 4:55
  Vanessa Vakharia: We're using therapeutic strategies every day, right?
• 4:59
  Vanessa Vakharia: We are working on the mental and the emotional simultaneously.
• 5:02
  Vanessa Vakharia: We're doing that, you know?
• 5:03
  Vanessa Vakharia: And so I love that you are working at a school that focuses in on it.
• 5:07
  Vanessa Vakharia: I'd love to actually hear more about that, if you wanna throw me another text.
• 5:11
  Vanessa Vakharia: Um, and I just wanna say thank you to you and everyone who's doing this, this work, you know?
• 5:15
  Vanessa Vakharia: Everyone who is noticing the math trauma, working on healing, recognizing there's a need for more than the cognitive.
• 5:21
  Vanessa Vakharia: You guys are amazing.
• 5:22
  Vanessa Vakharia: Thank you so much for listening, and thank you for this text.
• 5:24
  Vanessa Vakharia: Next, we have a text from the Canadian prairies which reads,"Thanks for making this podcast.
• 5:29
  Vanessa Vakharia: Made me take stock of how I define success and how I wanted to change it for my future classroom.
• 5:33
  Vanessa Vakharia: Keep up the great podcasting, Vanessa.
• 5:35
  Vanessa Vakharia: I hear you might be touring in Regina, Saskatchewan.
• 5:37
  Vanessa Vakharia: Is this true?" Okay.
• 5:40
  Vanessa Vakharia: Well, first of all, I love that, honestly, and I'm so glad that it landed with you, and I actually went to Saskatoon to keynote a conference in April, and this is making me wonder if the last text, if that person went to that conference.
• 5:56
  Vanessa Vakharia: But no, they didn't, because I don't think someone from Northbrook, Illinois, is going to PD in Saskatoon.
• 6:01
  Vanessa Vakharia: That being said, I am not touring in Regina, but for all of you listening who I met in Saskatoon in April, my band is playing our first show ever in Saskatoon.
• 6:14
  Vanessa Vakharia: We're flying to Saskatoon July 1st, and we are p- which is Canada Day, everyone, and we are playing a show at The Green Room in Saskatoon on July 2nd.
• 6:24
  Vanessa Vakharia: You guys should come.
• 6:25
  Vanessa Vakharia: Tickets are available now.
• 6:27
  Vanessa Vakharia: Go get them.
• 6:27
  Vanessa Vakharia: And then we are headlining a festival in Potato Lake, Saskatchewan, on July 4th.
• 6:32
  Vanessa Vakharia: It's called Napatak Ramble.
• 6:33
  Vanessa Vakharia: So promo for my band and answering your question at the same time, so it's not that shameless.
• 6:40
  Vanessa Vakharia: Okay, next is an exchange we had with Amy Jones from Fairfield, Connecticut, who gave us permission to read this out, and guys, I, I'm so excited to read this.
• 6:49
  Vanessa Vakharia: She texted us after listening to my brief episode where I shared a message I received from Timothy Jones, who is an inmate that works with the Prison Mathematics Project, or PMP.
• 7:00
  Vanessa Vakharia: We'll link to that episode in the show notes if you missed it because you, uh, honestly, you have to listen to it and, like Okay, let me read, let me read Amy's text.
• 7:08
  Vanessa Vakharia: "Thank you for sharing your text with the inmate who is part of the PMP.
• 7:12
  Vanessa Vakharia: I was so inspired by the conversation that I reached out to them, and now I'm going to be a mentor to an inmate who wants to participate in the project.
• 7:20
  Vanessa Vakharia: Thank you for all you do and share.
• 7:21
  Vanessa Vakharia: You have no idea how much you are helping me be a better teacher and math person." Oh my God, I'm tearing up.
• 7:27
  Vanessa Vakharia: "Also, I spoke to my dad today about this, and he's looking to become a mentor as well.
• 7:30
  Vanessa Vakharia: He's a retired high school math teacher.
• 7:32
  Vanessa Vakharia: He was so excited." Okay, ah.
• 7:35
  Vanessa Vakharia: Okay, actually, I'm getting really emotional.
• 7:37
  Vanessa Vakharia: Um, yeah, I, uh, so for those of you who don't know, the Prison Mathematics Project and I have kind of a bit of a long relationship because, uh, I, like, I, I, you know, if you've been listening, you've probably heard this story many s- story so many times.
• 7:50
  Vanessa Vakharia: But a long time ago, I interviewed Christopher Havens, who is an inmate who is still in there serving, and he started the Prison Mathematics Project to help other inmates rehabilitate with mathematics, and it has grown.
• 8:03
  Vanessa Vakharia: They're in prisons all across North America, they are changing so many people's lives.
• 8:08
  Vanessa Vakharia: And me and the Math Therapy team actually went to Michigan to Bellamy Correctional Institute on Pi Day a few years ago to do math with inmates there, and it was so- such an incredible experience.
• 8:19
  Vanessa Vakharia: So it's just so incredible to see that, like to just see what we can all do as a collective, you know, when we're, when we're just, like, looking to help one another out.
• 8:29
  Vanessa Vakharia: And I think it really just shows, like, Math Therapy is about the healing that happens through math, right?
• 8:38
  Vanessa Vakharia: Like, I always say math is this gateway.
• 8:40
  Vanessa Vakharia: Yes, it's about the math.
• 8:41
  Vanessa Vakharia: We want kids to learn math, but we want them to learn what they're capable of through the math.
• 8:46
  Vanessa Vakharia: I want all of you listening to this podcast, who have your own anxiety around math, to learn what you're capable of through continuing to persevere with math, you know?
• 8:56
  Vanessa Vakharia: To continue to explore what math is bringing up for you.
• 8:59
  Vanessa Vakharia: So I just think it is so beautiful to read this.
• 9:01
  Vanessa Vakharia: Amy, that is so cool about you and your dad.
• 9:03
  Vanessa Vakharia: Please keep us posted.
• 9:04
  Vanessa Vakharia: We wanna know everything that happens.
• 9:06
  Vanessa Vakharia: Um, ugh, this just makes me so happy, and I continue to work with the PMP now.
• 9:12
  Vanessa Vakharia: You know, our, this is something you guys should know that's so cool, is Math Therapy is available on tablets in all American prisons.
• 9:21
  Vanessa Vakharia: So inmates have free access to listening to Math Therapy.
• 9:25
  Vanessa Vakharia: So many of them listen weekly, like Timothy Jones, which is so cool, and Timothy Jones himself, he's starting a Math Therapy group at his correctional facility for a bunch of the inmates there who will be working through Math Therapy with him.
• 9:38
  Vanessa Vakharia: This is just really cool.
• 9:39
  Vanessa Vakharia: So thank you so much.
• 9:40
  Vanessa Vakharia: Thank you.
• 9:40
  Vanessa Vakharia: They really do need help.
• 9:42
  Vanessa Vakharia: They need, like, assistance funding.
• 9:44
  Vanessa Vakharia: It's all volunteer-run.
• 9:45
  Vanessa Vakharia: It's run by inmates and o- and other folks, so, like, I say that in the sense that they don't have much access to the things that those who are not inmates do.
• 9:55
  Vanessa Vakharia: So if you wanna help, text me or reach out to the Prison Mathematics Project.
• 10:00
  Vanessa Vakharia: That's actually the best thing to do.
• 10:02
  Vanessa Vakharia: And again, just hit the link in the show notes, and everything's there.
• 10:05
  Vanessa Vakharia: Okay.
• 10:05
  Vanessa Vakharia: Next is actually a very simple one we received from Riverside, California, in response to the episode in which I had a full meltdown real time.
• 10:14
  Vanessa Vakharia: You guys might remember that.
• 10:16
  Vanessa Vakharia: The text simply reads, oh my God.
• 10:19
  Vanessa Vakharia: The text reads,"Beautiful, chaotic energy in this week's episode." Now, if I hadn't told you what the episode was in response to, you probably would have thought it could be literally any episode of this podcast.
• 10:30
  Vanessa Vakharia: But I will just take the compliment and move on because David told me to.
• 10:36
  Vanessa Vakharia: And now finally, this is it.
• 10:38
  Vanessa Vakharia: This is the one, this is the one I clickbait led to.
• 10:42
  Vanessa Vakharia: This one is about the legend of Sister Beth.
• 10:45
  Vanessa Vakharia: And now for those of you who actually believed me at the start and decided to listen to this whole thing, it, y- like, you're gonna see why.
• 10:52
  Vanessa Vakharia: The last time we did a mailbag episode, we shared a text, and I'm just going to read a bit of it again to refresh your memory.
• 11:00
  Vanessa Vakharia: Okay, because I read a text then, and that led to a series of events that take us to right now.
• 11:07
  Vanessa Vakharia: So here's the text I'm really hoping to get a signed Math Therapy book for my son's teacher who is that math te"- oh my God, I'm crying again.
• 11:15
  Vanessa Vakharia: Okay, let me start again.
• 11:18
  Vanessa Vakharia: "I am really hoping to get a signed Math Therapy book for my son's teacher who is that math teacher for our whole family.
• 11:24
  Vanessa Vakharia: She has completely turned my son's and my attitude around.
• 11:27
  Vanessa Vakharia: Last year, we dreaded math.
• 11:28
  Vanessa Vakharia: We argued.
• 11:29
  Vanessa Vakharia: I complained.
• 11:29
  Vanessa Vakharia: You could feel the tension whenever there was a math test.
• 11:32
  Vanessa Vakharia: In retrospect, I put so much pressure on this one class.
• 11:35
  Vanessa Vakharia: This year, math is my son's favorite subject, and we work together to figure it out.
• 11:39
  Vanessa Vakharia: We both talk about how far we both have come and can laugh at the drama of third-grade math.
• 11:44
  Vanessa Vakharia: It has gone from impossible to figureoutable because of Sister Beth.
• 11:47
  Vanessa Vakharia: Yep, the amazing math teacher who introduced me to your book and podcast is a nun.
• 11:52
  Vanessa Vakharia: Thank you for everything you do, and if there's any way to get a signed book for Sister Beth, that would be amazing." Okay, so here...
• 11:57
  Vanessa Vakharia: Oh, guys, why am I so teary during this episode?
• 12:00
  Vanessa Vakharia: I think it's just, like, hearing from you guys and Okay, anyways, fine.
• 12:04
  Vanessa Vakharia: This is about Sister Beth.
• 12:05
  Vanessa Vakharia: This is not about me.
• 12:07
  Vanessa Vakharia: So I get this text, and you guys might not know this, but in the early days, as in, like, you know, three months ago, when the texting feature was introduced, we would get a text, but we were unable to respond.
• 12:20
  Vanessa Vakharia: So if the per- if you guys sent us a text and you didn't put your contact info or your name, there was no way for us to get ahold of you.
• 12:27
  Vanessa Vakharia: So this person sends this text, and I'm like, I don't know who this is.
• 12:31
  Vanessa Vakharia: I don't know who Sister Beth is, and I can't write back to be like,'Sure, yeah, send me her address.'" So obviously, I go straight to Google, and I try my best to find her.
• 12:39
  Vanessa Vakharia: But I can't.
• 12:40
  Vanessa Vakharia: I'm like, Sister Beth math, like, Sister Beth, Georgia, math.
• 12:43
  Vanessa Vakharia: Like, I, I couldn't find her anyway, and I'm pretty good at that stuff, but I really couldn't.
• 12:46
  Vanessa Vakharia: So I decided to read the text out loud in our last mailbag episode, and the podcast delivered.
• 12:53
  Vanessa Vakharia: So here's what happens.
• 12:54
  Vanessa Vakharia: First, we hear from Sister Mary Margaret in San Antonio, Texas, who writes this:"Hi there.
• 13:02
  Vanessa Vakharia: I am Sister Mary Margaret, and I'm in the same community as Sister Beth.
• 13:05
  Vanessa Vakharia: I also taught math for several years, SAT, ACT prep and such.
• 13:10
  Vanessa Vakharia: Sister Beth is a real hoot." I hope you get to meet her in person someday if you're ever in Atlanta, and if you ever come to the great state of Texas, look me up.
• 13:18
  Vanessa Vakharia: Sister Beth is going to treasure that signed book, and I'll say a little prayer for you, too." Okay, like, how sweet is that?
• 13:24
  Vanessa Vakharia: And I will definitely be looking up Sister Mary Margaret next time I'm in Texas because she sounds like a hoot as well, I'll be honest.
• 13:30
  Vanessa Vakharia: But it turns out we didn't need help because the next text we got was from the legend herself, Sister Beth, who simply said,"I'm Sister Beth, and I would love a signed copy of the book." Can you guys believe?
• 13:47
  Vanessa Vakharia: Like, I d- like, it was my own personal Sleepless in Seattle, right?
• 13:50
  Vanessa Vakharia: Like, it was like old school radio show connecting people from across the globe, and then they finally, like, the book finally lands on her doorstep and now, now by the way, by the time she wrote me that text, we now have the ability to text back.
• 14:03
  Vanessa Vakharia: So, like, I got her info, I sent her a book, and it got there.
• 14:07
  Vanessa Vakharia: So I think you guys know that the obvious next step in this journey is to get Sister Beth on the podcast.
• 14:13
  Vanessa Vakharia: So I'm manifesting it.
• 14:16
  Vanessa Vakharia: I'm throwing it out into the ether.
• 14:18
  Vanessa Vakharia: Let's see what happens.
• 14:20
  Vanessa Vakharia: All right, so, whew.
• 14:22
  Vanessa Vakharia: I know I said Sister Beth would be the last one, but David insisted I include a bonus text that we received on January 5th from Naples, Florida, that read very simply,"Six times seven equals 42." And there really is not much more to say about that, I guess.
• 14:39
  Vanessa Vakharia: All right, well, that's a wrap on this mailbag episode.
• 14:42
  Vanessa Vakharia: I lo- I mean, I love doing these so much.
• 14:44
  Vanessa Vakharia: I love doing these so much'cause I have to be honest, sometimes when I do solo episodes, I'm like,"Oh, my God, I feel weird just talking and monologuing at you guys." Like, I, I understand that's what a podcast is for, and David tells me I'm being, like, completely ridiculous, but, like, I do love the interactions and the conversations, and I love hearing from other people because I feel like you guys have so much wisdom to share that I wanna share that.
• 15:05
  Vanessa Vakharia: You know what I mean?
• 15:06
  Vanessa Vakharia: And I feel like so much about Math Therapy and about teaching math and about education and about healing together, it is a collective.
• 15:13
  Vanessa Vakharia: We are co-creating the experience, so I just, I love when we get to co-create.
• 15:18
  Vanessa Vakharia: Guys, thank you so much for writing in.
• 15:20
  Vanessa Vakharia: It means so much to me, and it's so validating to both David and I that people actually listen and really engage with these episodes.
• 15:27
  Vanessa Vakharia: Like, it means everything, and even if you haven't texted us but you just listen once or, you know, you listen every week, thank you.
• 15:33
  Vanessa Vakharia: And if you ever feel inspired to send us a message about your own work in healing math trauma or how an episode has changed your life or touched you in some way or meant something or you sent it to someone else and whatever, that link to text us is always right there in the episode description in your podcast player.
• 15:49
  Vanessa Vakharia: I think it says,"Send us a text," and you just click it.
• 15:52
  Vanessa Vakharia: Before I sign off, I just wanted to remind you that we have that Facebook group, and we would love you to join.
• 15:56
  Vanessa Vakharia: We're almost at 500 members, which is crazy'cause we only started it a couple of months ago.
• 16:01
  Vanessa Vakharia: You can just head to Facebook, type in Math Therapy, join the group, and there's lots of cool stuff in there.
• 16:06
  Vanessa Vakharia: It's not, like, too crazy, but it's a great place for community and collaboration and just, you know, talking Math Therapy.
• 16:13
  Vanessa Vakharia: I know it's summer, and everyone kinda has different schedules, so I'm gonna be doing probably a lot of solo episodes this summer just because I'm touring with my band.
• 16:23
  Vanessa Vakharia: We're playing 10 shows across Canada, so I'm gonna be traveling a lot for music stuff, and I'm doing a ton of conferences as well, so I'll be on the road a lot, which makes it a little harder to interview people.
• 16:33
  Vanessa Vakharia: Although, you know what?
• 16:35
  Vanessa Vakharia: Anytime you see me, I will have my mic on me.
• 16:37
  Vanessa Vakharia: So if you run into me, I just might interview you for the podcast.
• 16:40
  Vanessa Vakharia: Who knows?
• 16:41
  Vanessa Vakharia: Watch out.
• 16:41
  Vanessa Vakharia: But for real, I'm gonna be doing a lot more, like, solo stuff, so that's why I'm actually putting a little call out to you guys.
• 16:48
  Vanessa Vakharia: If you want me to do an episode on something, you're like,"You know what?
• 16:50
  Vanessa Vakharia: I really want you to talk about this or that or the other," text me that, because I'm always looking for ideas of, like, what can I give to the community?
• 16:58
  Vanessa Vakharia: Like, what are you guys looking for?
• 17:00
