Let Them Struggle a Bit: Math Best Practices in the Adult Ed Classroom. Math. Test Anxiety. These two terms seem synonymous when it comes to the high school equivalency exams. Thankfully, neither of these needs to be crippling, and we found a practitioner who turns mistakes into opportunities and math into an art. Join Nadia and Jamie, along with special guest Michael Carriere of UNM-Valencia’s Next Steps Adult Education Program, in this engaging and enlightening episode of "Connect with Adult Ed.” Michael shares valuable strategies for alleviating math anxiety, fostering a supportive classroom environment, and encouraging students to embrace the learning process. Together, we delve into the challenges of teaching math, particularly addressing math anxiety among students and applications to real-life scenarios. Discover new perspectives on math instruction that can transform the way adult educators approach teaching and students engage with math. #nextstepsadulted #valenciacampus https://lnkd.in/gkA62KVh https://lnkd.in/gKJPtf5R
