This excellent video about Math Anxiety examines a variety of topics including: the cause of math anxiety, the impact it has working memory and learning, and how we can try to reduce this anxiety.
This video was watched as part of Sun West's "Math the Big Picture" PD, as part of "The Big 5". This is important to consider when setting the stage for learning.
Teachers completed an activity where they created a "Top 10 Ways to Squash Math Anxiety" list. You can find this handout in the PD resource by copying and pasting this web address into a browser. https://resourcebank.ca/authoring/3212-math-at-sun-west-professional-learning-day-1
