Location: This presentation is part of the 2019 Northwest Mathematics Conference in Tacoma, Washington.

Description: Students’ negative attitudes about math are detrimental to achievement and can hinder equitable access and success in STEM courses and programs. Fortunately, evidence suggests that teachers can help foster positive math attitudes in students. In this presentation, we will go in discuss evidence-based practices that promote more positive attitudes. Attendees will leave with the knowledge and materials to implement activities and strategies that can help improve students’ math attitudes.

Audience: This conference brings together mathematics teachers from all levels of primary, secondary, and undergraduate education to learn and share about mathematics and pedagogy. This REL Northwest session is geared toward middle and high school educators.

Speakers: Jacob Williams and Erich Stiefvater, REL Northwest
