About this episode
What is your relationship with math? Math Trauma is real.
When I walked into my first ever classroom I brought with me a lot of math baggage I didn’t even know I had. I had been avoiding math for almost 2 decades at that point. As far back as I can remember I never enjoyed math...what I had was Math Trauma.
Join me today as I explain what Math Trauma is and what you can do to help your students in the math classroom.
In this episode we'll chat about:
- the definition of math trauma
- knowing our students and their traumas
- re-define math culture
