Math Community of Practice: Let’s Talk About Math Anxiety<\/h1>\n
\n

According to a March 2024 US News survey, most college students report struggling with mental health issues. Given that mathematicians are typically not mental health professionals, knowing how to address this in the classroom often falls outside the scope of our expertise. This session will introduce participants to the concept of math anxiety, a mental health issue that affects how students perform in our classrooms. Participants will learn about the condition, dispel some common myths and rumors about mental health in the classroom, and leave with a list of research-supported interventions they can try in their classes to support students with math anxiety without sacrificing content or rigor.<\/p>\n
