“I love maths because it’s elegant, because of the challenges it creates...” @mikeaskew26 #MathsAnxiety Summit

Acting CEO Michelle Wildman @Parentkind suggests we may need a reframing of maths for girls in particular given our very low uptake of higher maths by girls @mathsanxiety @joboaler
Michelle Wildman from @Parentkind argues that we need role models to champion maths and we need a new infrastructure to demystify the way maths is taught so that parents understand it. #MathsAnxiety Summit
. @dr_tom_hunt & @Dave_Shef looked at #MathsAnxiety in teachers and anxiety around teaching maths. One study found that teachers’ anxiety predicted pupils’ maths achievement. And high maths anxious teachers predicated worse maths achievement among girls!
