Maggie MacPhee is passionate about math - not just learning and teaching it, but also examining it through a social justice lens and changing the narrative around its history. She joins Best of the WWEST producer Vanessa to get nerdy about math and board games, but also to talk about how she as a busy math teacher early in her career deals with stress, what books she鈥檚 reading, and what her favourite part of teaching math is, punctuated with lots of laughter.

(Please excuse any audio hiccups in this remotely recorded interview.)
