Your students’ relationship with math often starts with yours.
Math Equals Me offers professional development designed to help educators understand math anxiety, build student confidence, and create a classroom culture where every student feels they belong in math. Whether you’ve wrestled with math yourself or want better tools to support the students in front of you, these sessions meet you where you are.
Available in-person and virtually.
A math-positive classroom doesn’t happen by accident — it’s built intentionally, one interaction at a time.
This session focuses on simple, practical ways to build a classroom where students feel safe to try, make mistakes, and grow.
You’ll walk away with tools you can use immediately, whether you’re building from scratch or strengthening what’s already working.
That phrase — “I’m not a math person” — is one of the most damaging things a student or educator can believe about themselves.
In this session, we break down where math anxiety comes from, how it shows up in the classroom, and what you can do about it.
We also examine how educators’ own experiences with math can show up in the classroom — and how to shift that.
Math anxiety doesn’t look the same in every student. In this session, you’ll meet six profiles illustrating the most common ways math anxiety shows up in the classroom — from the student who avoids math entirely to the one who tries but never quite believes they’ll succeed. You’ll walk away with clear, targeted strategies for each profile so no student gets overlooked because their struggle didn’t look the way you expected.
Math Equals Me PD sessions are interactive, practical, and grounded in real classroom situations — designed to be useful from day one. Sessions are available as standalone workshops and can be customized into a larger professional development series to fit your school’s, team’s, or program’s specific needs and goals.
Available in-person and virtually.
