Unpacking Fractions

by Monica Neagoy

Table of Contents

About the Author

Monica Neagoy is an author, international consultant, and popular keynote speaker with a 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 Planting the Seeds of Algebra, PreK–2 (2012) and Planting the Seeds of Algebra, 3–5 (2014), both published by Corwin Press.

Presently living in Paris, France, giving talks and offering professional development in Europe and the United States, she is the director and lead author of the elementary mathematics series Maths, Méthode de Singapour, a brand new adaptation of Singapore Mathematics to the latest French math standards. Finally, she collaborates with two Israeli math colleagues, Zvi Shalem and Gali Shimoni, in the conception and creation of original and exciting math apps.
