309057: CONQUERING MATH PHOBIAS (Hybrid)

Course Description:

HSTA PD Instructors: Hope McKeen and Daphna Ehrenhalt

Conquering Math Phobias

The purpose of this course is to help participants address math phobias by encouraging teaching methods that apply deep conceptual mathematical thinking and understanding in real-world applicable contexts.  Research shows that math anxieties and phobias exist and are caused by certain variables such as parents’ and teachers’ attitudes towards math, societal stereotypes as in a race, gender, or traits.  This course will highlight activities to address these variables in a more positive way so that we can support all students in knowing they are ALL math people.
