Many students struggle with math, and one big reason why is their feelings toward the subject.
Students often lack confidence in their math abilities, educators say, making them less willing to practice math and tackle challenging problems, which in turn further erodes their confidence and skill. Two-thirds of teachers report that math anxiety—feeling tense, worried, or helpless while doing or thinking about math—is a challenge for their students, according to an EdWeek Research Center survey.
Experts say schools must create supportive classroom environments in which all students believe they can excel at math with hard work and the right help.
This webinar will feature practical tips and concrete strategies for how teachers can mitigate math anxiety in their classrooms and build students’ confidence in the subject.
