He mea whakamīharo. He mea whakamīharo ia kupu, ahakoa he iti noa iho. Engari, i whakamahia e McAdams ngā mati me ngā tau hei whakapuaki i tana kōrero. I te tirohanga tuatahi, tera pea he rite ki te whakatata tika rawa atu o tētahi tau koretake tino nui, engari kei raro i te mata he kōrero mamae mō tētahi tau e haere tonu ana, e tumanako ana, e inoi ana kia kitea he mutunga, engari e mōhio ana i roto i tōna wairua kāore rawa e kitea.

David E. McAdams is a storyteller, educator, and an internationally recognized thinker. He has decades of experience in math education and a deep passion for writing. David has authored a wide range of books that blend learning and imagination. From fun puzzle collections for preschoolers to deeper explorations of mathematical constants, word guides, and interactive learning resources, each is crafted to open doors to new discoveries.

David’s journey began in the classroom, teaching high school mathematics, where he discovered a truth that would guide his work forever: Children learn best when they are engaged, curious, and having fun. Over time, he recognized a significant gap in math education. Students struggled not only with concepts but also with the language of mathematics itself. This realization led him to create the All Math Words Dictionary, a comprehensive, kid-friendly resource designed to strengthen math vocabulary and improve comprehension.

But David didn’t stop there. He began writing math-inspired books for young readers, books that entertained them as they learned. In One Penny, Two, a charming and clever story comes alive about a penny that doubles in value every day. In What Is Bigger Than Anything?, children are introduced to the awe-inspiring concept of infinity. His My Favorite Fractals and Geometric Nets Project Books invite children to explore patterns, numbers, and geometry in clear and joyful ways.

Often humorous, sometimes whimsical, David’s books are filled with the wonders of the real world: dinosaurs, fairy tales, outer space, simple toys, architecture, and playground slides. Each story or puzzle is created not just to teach but to ignite the imagination. His new releases include a collection of 100 math puzzles for six-year-olds and a thematic series that connects math to everything kids love: ice cream cones, treasure hunts, magic tricks, and more.

His works have been translated into multiple languages, including Maltese, allowing more children around the world to enjoy his joyful approach to learning. Whether he’s counting stars or exploring the digits of pi, David brings warmth and curiosity to every page.

Now retired from teaching, David dedicates his time to gardening and reveling in the creative joy of writing. He still writes daily, always dreaming of new ways to help children discover the beauty of mathematics, the power of language, and the magic of the “What if…?” question.
