Session title:

Addressing maths anxiety

Abstract/brief summary:

This session will be presented twice, once for those who would be happy to teach maths and once for those who tend to avoid maths themselves but come into contact with students. We will consider the origins of maths-specific anxiety and avoidance, and what can be done to build maths-specific resilience and maths-specific psychological safeguarding, both within class and across schools.
