Talk About Cheating
Cheating is a big problem for many teachers.
There are many strategies online to make “cheat-proof tests” but students are creative and resouceful and where there is a will there is a way.
We need those test scores, homework problems and quizzes to be accurate so we can address the missing skills!
There is an answer, we can change the conersation about cheating and we can get better data on assessments.
Talk About Mistakes
Many students report that they are hesitant to ask or answer questions in class because they are afraid to get problems wrong.
It is so important that we know when students are confused and we need to get them talking. There is an answer.
Learn a system for increasing student talk and celebrate student mistakes.
Talk About Testing
State Testing IS COMMING!
We can give students tools to improve their scores and deal with panic and anxiety around test day.
Learn strategies to turn anxiety into excitement and work with your anxiety to PASS THAT TEST!
Why Address Math Anxiety?
I polled my students and this is what they reported:
64% said that they panic when they have to so math
80% of students said they avoid doing math more than they avoid other classwork
77% said they think they are too far behind to ever catch up.
The answers let me know that students’ difficulty with math was not entirely a skill problem. Students avoid math.
It’s math anxiety.
The most common symptom that we see in the classroom is math avoidance, but students also experience a feeling of panic when asked to do math, increased heart rate, even nausea.
Students who experience these negative symptoms do not engage in math unless it is necessary.
Many students choose to avoid these negative feelings by cheating. 65% of my students reported that they cheat to avoid doing math. Not to get a good grade, not because they are lazy or do not understand. They are afraid to ask questions, afraid they are too far behind and math makes their stomach hurt.
