I hate Math

Parent

Parents’ math anxiety can undermine children’s math achievement
(University of Chicago)

If the thought of a math test makes students break out in a cold sweat, Mom or Dad may be partly to blame

children of math-anxious parents learned less math over the school year and were more likely to be math-anxious themselves

We often don’t think about how important parents’ own attitudes are in determining their children’s academic achievement (S. Beilock, Psychologist)

If a parent is walking around saying ‘Oh, I don’t like math’ or ‘This stuff makes me nervous,’ kids pick up on this messaging and it affects their success ( S. Beilock, Psychologist)

Math-anxious parents may be less effective in explaining math concepts to children, and may not respond well when children make a mistake or solve a problem in a novel way (S. Levine, Psychologist)

The researchers believe the link between parents’ math anxiety and children’s math performance stems more from math attitudes than genetics

parent preparation is essential to effective math homework help.

We can’t just tell parents, ‘Get involved,’ We need to develop better tools to teach parents how to most effectively help their children with math.”
