How to Get Rid of the Math Monster Under the Bed

All too often, when 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade students hear the word “math,” their smiling faces drop. Math can be a tricky subject. Many adults can’t escape the math phobia that started in grade school, even though math is something that we all use every day! Most math lessons have individualized worksheets and standardized testing. This results in great anxiety among students, especially among those who are already struggling to learn.

One way to combat this is by using fun and effective math materials. Teachers can adopt multi-sensory teaching strategies to engage students and bring enjoyment into the process of learning math!
