The anxious learner: Understanding and responding to maths and literacy anxiety
Tuesday 30 November 2027 | 10am AEST | Presented by Vanessa Solomon
Ever had a learner suddenly 'forget their glasses' when it's time to read, or freeze at the sight of a formula?
That's often anxiety, not ability.
This session unpacks what's really going on when maths and reading anxiety kick in – the brain, the behaviours and the triggers.
You'll leave with evidence-based strategies to reduce cognitive load, lower avoidance and help learners build a more positive relationship with numbers and words.
By the end of this session, participants will be able to:
- Recognise signs and triggers of maths and reading anxiety
- Reduce cognitive load and avoidance behaviours
- Build learner confidence with numeracy and reading
