Greg Tang is the author of several bestselling, innovative picture books that teach math in a whole new way, including The Grapes of Math, Math for All Seasons, The Best of Times, Math Appeal, Math-terpieces, Math Fables, and Math Fables Too.  His books and sessions challenge and encourage children to use creativity and common sense to solve problems, rather than formulas and memorization. Children quickly learn to think for themselves and in the process gain confidence, learn effective computational and problem-solving skills, and develop a new appreciation for math. Greg's goal in each session is to show students first-hand how fun and rewarding problem-solving can be. His lively, 45-minute sessions are fast-paced and interactive, and students often leave truly inspired about math Greg can be contacted directly at:
