Tackling maths anxiety
Seen and felt in thousands of classrooms, homes and workplaces across the nation, maths anxiety is widely acknowledged as a barrier to engagement and progress in maths, as well as other areas of education, employment and life.
Our Guide to Tackling Maths Anxiety draws on research and insights from experts across education, academia, business and the third sector, who attended our 2019 roundtable. It's full of practical tips, guidance and reflections for every age and stage, so you can join us in tackling maths anxiety and forging more confident and resilient learners, teachers and communities.
From the Guide to Tackling Maths Anxiety, we have developed a quick-read document highlighting some tools to support maths-anxious learners.
We also ran a session on maths anxiety at our first ever Virtual Maths Festival from 5–16 July 2021.
Changing Britain's Perception of Maths
Our first report draws upon the insights gathered at the inaugural roundtable in late 2018, when practitioners and academics joined school, business and third-sector leaders to explore how we can collectively transform perceptions of maths both inside and outside the classroom.
The roundtable conversation showed that maths cannot be separated from the people who teach, learn and use it. It is a human practice. It's important that we reflect on the recommendations that came out of the discussion and take concrete steps towards effecting changes that will benefit teachers and young people today, and change how maths is used and perceived in future.
