Overview

From early on, numbers and math concepts are a natural, spontaneous, ongoing occurrence in our everyday lives. However, somewhere along the way, math anxiety set in, or negative emotional responses to one's current or impending math situation. For parents, teachers, university pre-service teachers, and anyone interested in the subject of math, Students Loving Math: What's Reading Got to Do With It? explores various possible causes (and solutions) for this math dilemma. This book gives concrete examples for improving math experiences for all students, from preschool through high school. Some key solutions are seen through the lens of the positive impact of strong reading skills, effective teacher instructional strategies, and a heightened sense of students' math self-confidence on overall math success and achievement outcomes.
