These resources were originally delivered to student teachers at Sunderland University. The main objective was to give useful mathematical tools that can be embedded into English lessons. The secondary objective was to increase the students confidence in mathematics, exploring the commonalities between English and Mathematics as academic subjects. The session is fairly flexible and includes some history, word-play and a few mathematical problems that can be explored for the sake of solving a problem. I imagine that the majority of people will gain from the set list of mathematical “tools” that can be applied to any lesson. All problems and puzzles given were used in my research in psychology and mathematical education.

This is a presentation on measuring Mathematical Anxiety. This was delivered as part of a conference at the University of Cambridge, aiming to offer insights into why pupils’ in the UK may struggle in their learning of Mathematics. This has since been redeveloped into CPD sessions delivered in several schools across the north east of England. For more information, please feel free to contact me at davidmyersop@gmail.com
