Math anxiety is real, but it doesn't have to be permanent. In this episode, Dr. Beth and Dr. Anna welcome math specialist and instructional coach Ashley Perry to talk about how teachers can make math feel less intimidating and more inviting for every learner. Ashley shares why moving from "I'm not a math person" to "I'm a math learner" starts with the teacher, and offers practical strategies for building conceptual understanding, using manipulatives effectively, and creating a classroom culture where mistakes are expected and celebrated. Whether you teach math every day or just want to support math-anxious students in your classroom, this conversation is full of encouragement and ready-to-use ideas.
