About this listen
Why do so many students walk into math class believing they're "not math people"?
In Episode 2, we explore why math is one of the only subjects where students form identity-level beliefs about their abilities and how math anxiety, shame, and past classroom experiences shape participation in middle and high school math.
You'll hear secondary math teachers reflect on:
-
Students who carry fear or embarrassment into math class
-
How small classroom moments can reinforce or undo math anxiety
-
The emotional weight teachers feel when trying to rebuild confidence
-
Why math identity often becomes personal in ways other subjects don't
If you teach math in a secondary classroom and regularly hear "I'm just not good at math," this episode examines how teacher-student relationships influence math confidence, engagement, and students' willingness to try.
What Counts is a professional learning podcast for middle and high school math teachers exploring teacher-student relationships, student voice, math identity, and classroom culture. The show is presented by Impact Florida and produced by De LeCourt.
