Math anxiety and negative associations with math are common among elementary students and can develop as early as kindergarten. This can lead to avoidance and low achievement in math. However, increasing student engagement through varied instructional tactics can help students build confidence and resiliency in math. To be flexible problem solvers, students need strong number sense and a toolbox of strategies to choose from, and educators need the math foundation and support to do this in their classrooms.

In this edWeb podcast, current principal and former elementary educator Emma Simmons and elementary educators Emily Semrad and Elijah Ortiz share:

• Current challenges faced in math education, including data insights from principals across the United States
• How administrators can shape teachers’ instruction to cultivate flexible problem solvers
• Math classroom strategies that help students stay engaged in their learning and in turn, build more positive associations with math

The goal of this session is for listeners to leave with strategies they can implement into their teaching practice to increase engagement and differentiate instruction. Emma, Elijah, and Emily have worked with a variety of grade levels and student populations, providing them all with a robust toolbox of math strategies.

This edWeb podcast is of interest to elementary teachers, school and district leaders, education technology leaders, and math curriculum coordinators and directors.
