Once teachers have dispelled the myth that some people just ‘can’t do’ maths, @Bobby_Seagull says these five things will help to alleviate #maths anxiety in the classroom

Today is maths anxiety awareness day - This information sheet may help you, and help you to help others become less anxious in maths. https://t.co/q6RfKh67mY

Q&A: "Is self image another issue?"

Yes, definitely. It links in with building students' Mathematical Resilience. A slide I skipped due to time, but Richard Butterfield broke MR into 7 categories, one of which is Self Concept.

@mrskidson14 There's also self-efficacy (which I put as part of self concept) that looks at the student's perceived ability to solve maths problems successfully; both feed into a student's self-image in maths

I used to have a student who would colour in mandalas in maths lessons - I didn't think that it helped reduce her Maths Anxiety but looking back it makes sense! #MathsConf26 @mrskidson14

Day 1 of 2 consecutive maths conferences - today I'm presenting at @NEHS_MathsHub's #nehsbrighterfuturesconference, then attending #MathsConf26 tomorrow. Lots of CPD to be had!

@edmunds_dr I was once observed and had this as feedback - the head googled "maths differentiation" and said "Look, there's lots results about it on Google! Go there to improve!" as feedback. I had to point out that differentiation is part of calculus as a topic...

Nice to see some maths graffiti around school today! The challenge to spot a 37° angle is on!

Parental anxiety towards maths can impact students' own feelings towards maths - encouraging parents to be positive towards it will encourage students to be positive too

[Tes magazine @tes]

Some 39 per cent of parents have admitted that maths makes them anxious, in a survey looking at their experiences of homeschooling during Covid school closures

Just a few days to go before the deadline - get nominating!

[Simon Singh @SLSingh]

This year we ran weekly online Masterclasses with 500 students, to increase the number & diversity of great mathematicians. TEACHERS can now nominate students for 2021/22. Free places for disadvantaged students, big subsidies for the rest. Nominate here https://t.co/RnCBxqKa8u

@ShakinthatChalk @MissBookworm28 I had to explain to a computing class what they were, students only know it as the save icon on programs - holding only 1.44Mb blew their minds

Positive parental attitudes towards maths is vital for ensuring students develop a positive attitude towards the subject.

The secret to helping number-phobic parents get to grips with maths? Gentle encouragement and praise, says @emmccatt (free for subscribers)

@LeannePBB Students can learn the trait from any adult, not just teachers or parents; on TV shows regularly when there's a maths question, you hear "I'm bad at maths... etc" - it gets laughed at. Getting students to know that it impacts them is a good first step too (see site for more info)

[Leanne Bell @LeannePBB]

I think compulsory training for all school staff in not saying 'I'm rubbish at maths' in front of kids would be revolutionary for growth mindset purposes.

@LimesWright @MathematicalH Over the Easter break?

[MathsResilience @MathsResilience]

Looking forward to getting some students stuck into these challenges to celebrate Turing on the £50 note! https://t.co/2LWEhoePGJ

[MathsResilience @MathsResilience]

@MathematicalH @LimesWright Likewise - it does feel like a few individuals against a large beast!
