Book Description

This book is about mathematical resilience:what it is, why it is important, how leaers can develop it and how teachers can teach in ways that help leaers become mathematically resilient. Teaching for mathematical resilience helps mitigate mathematics anxiety, which is often hidden from view as poor behaviour, avoidance and underachievement and can have long-term implications especially for people’s employment opportunities and career progression.Written by a team of expert contributors that specialise in teaching every age of leaer from primary school through to adult, the book shows that everyone can progress in mathematics if they have Mathematical Resilience and sets out practical strategies to support leaers in developing this important attribute. Chapters cover:How to measure mathematics anxiety and resilienceTools for building mathematical resilienceBuilding a resilient mathematical leaing environmentThe power of coachingWorking with groups, individuals and support staffSupporting parents and carersThe world faces huge challenges that involve mathematical thinking, including climate change and economic injustice. This valuable text shows teachers how they can help leaers to engage positively with mathematical leaing and reach their full potential.
