Episode description
Today, Marijo McBeth from STEAM With Miss M is sharing why you're not bad at math (and, why we should ALL really stop saying that).
She shares her thoughts on the magical, mystical math gene that so many of us love to refer to, and she shares some practical strategies to help all of us get better at math. And then therefore, better at teaching math.
Today's Takeaways
- There's no "math gene;" everybody can get better at math!
- The secret ingredients to getting better at teaching (and, anything, really) is a combo of time and practice
- Be OK with making mistakes
- Make math more fun
- Recognize and release those limiting beliefs!
- Foster a growth mindset around math for you and your students
