S5 - 02. Uncovering the causes of math anxiety

April 24, 2023 Bethany Lockhart Johnson and Dan Meyer Season 5 Episode 2

We’re continuing our season's theme of tackling math anxiety, going beyond the basics, diving deeper into what causes it, and how we can help students move forward. In this episode, we talk to Dr. Erin Maloney from the University of Ottawa to better understand what’s actually happening in the brain when a person experiences math anxiety, and steps we can take to shift student mindsets toward a positive direction.
