Breaking the Cycle of Math Trauma with Kasi Allen, PhD

ROUNDING UP: SEASON 4 | EPISODE 22

If you are an educator, you've likely heard people say things like "I'm not a math person." While this may make you cringe, if you dig a bit deeper, many people can identify specific experiences that convinced them that this was true. In fact, some of you might secretly wonder if you are a math person as well. 

In this rerelease of an episode from Season 3, we're talking with Kasi Allen, PhD, about math trauma: what it is and how educators can take steps to address it.
