I'm Just Not a Math Person!: Recognizing, Understanding, and Managing the Fear of Mathematics (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781595985705)

Millions of American students today hate, despise, loathe, or even FEAR mathematics. Anxiety in the classroom leads to far too many students struggling and underperforming as learners, which can have a long-lasting impact on their potential--both personally and professionally.

Based on the framework from Peters' award-winning book, The Metus Principle: Recognizing, Understanding, and Managing Fear, Peters and Hobaugh take a close look at the connections between fear, motivation, and learning. Strategies and classroom examples are provided to help readers recognize, understand, and manage the fear of math--leading to meaningful connections with math activities and deep, conceptual understanding.

Written for administrators, teachers, parents, and students, I'm Just Not a Math Person focuses on building relationships and confidence in the classroom to foster a learner's mindset and help students and teachers achieve their goals.
