Math Therapy provides practical, hands-on strategies and tools that can be immediately used in the classroom. The book starts by defining math trauma and encouraging the reader to unpack their own math history before diving in to what they can do to help their students. The five steps to a solution--rethinking mindset, unpacking past trauma, empowering students to care about their relationship with math, redesigning math identity, and measuring improvement as a way to encourage further growth--are presented with real-world examples and tips for implementation in the classroom. The approach is grounded in research on math education and neuropsychology, and is written in a friendly, conversational tone that will entertain and engage classroom teachers and other readers. It is designed specifically for educators who are looking for professional development resources that are practical, impactful, and groundbreaking and will help address the trauma-induced stumbling blocks that many students face when tackling mathematics
