This document is a student paper investigating whether girls fear math more than boys. It begins by stating the hypothesis that girls fear math more. It then presents some common feelings and myths about math. The bulk of the document consists of charts and graphs analyzing survey results. The surveys asked students about their math preferences, interests in becoming mathematicians, reasons for girls' fear of math, and factors responsible for mathematical fear. In the conclusion, the student indicates the paper aimed to determine if math fear is a psychological problem and whether the hypothesis that girls fear math more was proven right or wrong.
A professional development session on the different types of data available to MCPS teachers that they can use to help guide their classroom instruction. The presentation also introduced a tool teachers could use to track data on their own assessments.
The purpose of conducting the webinar was to provide participants ideas on devising various interesting games for teaching children basic operations of Mathematics at the primary level

Problem Solving in Mathematics EducationJeff Suzuki
A major focus on current mathematics education is "problem solving." But "problem solving" means something very different from "Doing the exercises at the end of the chapter." An explanation of what problem solving is, and how it can be implemented.
This is a presentation to help students who always become feared during Maths Exam. This presentation tells about what are the elements that initiates this phobia and what are the possible ways by both the teachers and the students to overcome such Phobia. This presentation also contains Vedic mathematics tricks that helps you to do calculations easily
Being anxious about something is pretty normal. Many persons are affected by mathematics anxiety or feelings of tension that interfere with the manipulation of numbers and the solving of mathematical problems. This disabling condition can manifest itself in ways like profuse sweating, nervousness, intense fear, frustration, helplessness, emotional blocks, bizarre behavior, negative attitudes, cyclical avoidance, working memory blocks, lack of motivation, depression, low self esteem, reduced self efficacy, inappropriate assumptions, lack of achievement, learning difficulties, erroneous beliefs, pessimism, doubt, distrust, and withdrawal resulting in failure to achieve. This book exposes some possible causes of mathematics anxiety and offers tried-and-tested, hands-on, practical ways to manage it. Providing food for thought are specially selected quotations from the public domain. Shareware graphics that are meant to serve as stimulants for engagement and pleasure punctuate the text. Stories from selected individuals carrying pseudonyms for confidentiality and anonymity detail their personal experiences with mathematics anxiety and how they were able to conquer their fears.
Overview of an idea for a science puzzle game. The project is currently undergoing development, and will be presented in Summer 2010 for my Learning, Design and Technology Master's project.
