Dr. Natthapoj Vincent Trakulphadetkrai (Associate Professor of Mathematics Education, University of Reading) was invited to deliver his Maths Through Stories training to teacher trainees at the University of Cambridge for the fifth consecutive year. Drawing from his research on enriching mathematics teaching and learning through the use of storytelling, Dr. Trakulphadetkrai designed a 1.5-hour Maths Through Stories workshop which has now been delivered to over 4,000 pre-service and in-service teachers across the UK and internationally since 2017.  Some of the trainees commented that: “I really enjoyed Vince's teaching Maths through story sessions. What a wonderful speaker. It was clear to see Vince's passion for his subject and his enthusiasm poured out through his words. I would thoroughly recommend that any educator listen to Vince as he truly was inspirational. I personally wouldn't change a thing and felt very fortunate to hear his wisdom.” “I found Vince's session extremely inspiring and enjoyable. Before the session, I didn't clearly understand the link between Maths and stories. Now, I am looking forward to using Maths stories as a staple in my classroom.” “I really enjoyed our session, Vince was very enthusiastic and passionate throughout. I found it helpful as Vince discussed the importance of carefully selecting your story and gave some useful advice that I can take into my teaching jobs in the future. I felt empowered to utilise stories in my maths sessions and even potentially work with children to create their own maths stories.” "Maths through story telling was a lovely session. Vince was very enthusiastic and clealry passionate about the topic. There was lots of interactive tasks which really helped us to get to grips with the concept and range of books available. Vince helped direct us to good resources as well as showing both good and bad examples of mathematical story books so that we can make educated decisions in the future. Thank you very much!"
