What’s on the menu…

Math anxiety is one of the most significant emotional impediments to learning and performance in math. Evidence shows that math anxiety is associated with avoidance of math courses and careers that depend on math thereby depleting the Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) pipeline in the U.S. and elsewhere. Despite its debilitating effects on math achievement and career choices of individuals and its negative impact on a nation’s resource base in STEM, far too little attention has been paid to the causal antecedents of math anxiety. 

Come, bring a lunch, and learn more about Dr. Ahmed’s research and findings!
