History of national math storytelling day has a long tradition

In 2009, Math Storytelling Day was founded by the Natural Math Community of Naturalmath.com. Dr. Maria Droujkova was inspired after reading a blog post by Seth Godin titled "What should I do on your birthday?" Dr. Maria Droujkova said. When making birthday wishes to family members, Seth encouraged readers to think bigger than themselves. Dr. Dr. Droujkova's birthday, September 25th, took the idea to heart and announced Math Story Day would be shared with colleagues and families. Not only did Dr. Droujkova share math stories, but Sue, the first person to respond, shared a birthday with Dr. Droujkova.
