Does your child suffer from math anxiety? They might be learning that from their teacher...
Research from the University of Chicago found that teachers of math students can actually project their own math anxiety onto their pupils. Female elementary teachers are the most likely to suffer, with math anxiety starting for kids as young as the first grade.
Math anxiety can be paralyzing for those who suffer. That’s because math problems affect the same area of the brain that is stimulated during a physical attack. Those with math-induced panic may feel so anxious at the thought of it, that their physical fight or flight response is triggered.
