We all want to be the best math teacher our students deserve. We spend hours preparing our lessons and finding new ways to differentiate to meet our students’ individual needs better each class, but sometimes we still face a nervous atmosphere at our classrooms that prevents our students from getting the most out of their math class. Why do students fear mathematics? This situation might be more than frustrating, but by knowing key ways to identify, prevent and deal with math anxiety in the classroom we can make a change in our students’ perception of maths and we can enjoy our jobs even more.
Outcomes: Participants will be familiar with some ways math anxiety presents in the classroom as well as strategies to prevent and deal with it.
