Handouts NCTM Abracadabra - Participant Generated Responses.pdf Math Anxiety.pdf

 

In order to build math competence, we must first build math curiosity. Participants in this session will explore “magic” as a tool to cultivate the desire to grapple with math in everyday encounters. By providing opportunities for students to wonder, teachers can reduce math anxiety and increase mathematical understanding.
