Math Fear-An Everyday Battle
As we move through the 21st Century with best practices in education, we notice something is missing.
We have the enriched rigor in mathematics, updated teaching modules and tools, and essential teacher training.
Unfortunately, what is missing is the understanding of why our students are not performing at their specific grade levels.
This self-paced course will help one identify the problem and provide math fear and anxiety solutions.
Math Challenges
With our ever-changing math world, it is easy to see why challenges occur in our classroom environments. We are faced with students that are trailing behind the standards' norms.
This mini-course was designed to assist educators working with children of all ages in the area of mathematics.
If one thinks back to his/her college times, one realizes that the training may or may not have set us up for the real-world component of the "hidden curriculum" in school systems.
This "hidden curriculum" focus in this course is on Math Fear and Anxiety. The term "hidden" generalizes the concepts and components that are overlooked, but crucial in the math world.
Did you ever wonder why we have students day after day in our math classrooms reluctant about the subject area? Why they avoid the work, and are often are honest to communicate that they just do not get it? Other times students keep their math challenges to themselves and develop a low self-concept and avoid the subject as if it does not exist.
We offer 6 professional development hours for this course upon completion.

Help Fill the Missing Gaps
Without all the math "puzzle pieces" fitting together, we have an incomplete math puzzle. Help bring connections and make math real-to-life.
Encourage Confidence in Your Students
Students must be able to believe that they are capable of learning and understanding math. Help bring self-confidence to the surface and create a path for success.
Pave the Way For A Mathematical Mathmindset
Changing one's mindset allows one to his/her eyes to greater outcomes. Assist in the process of understanding how to change one's mindset.

Taking The Fear Out Of Math
As educators, we understand students' needs and are available to help them through difficult times. At the same time, we do not have all the answers before us due to our training. Math can be an overwhelming subject for some due to its complex nature.
This course will help define your role and ways that you can assist your classroom students to have confidence, utilize a positive mindset, and bring math into a manageable light.
