Many students enter the math classroom carrying the weight of trauma—whether from life experiences or from negative encounters with math itself. This session explores how trauma impacts learning, attention, and confidence in math. We’ll discuss how traditional math instruction can unintentionally trigger anxiety and frustration, making math a source of trauma for some students. Through a trauma-informed lens, we’ll explore strategies to create a supportive, empowering environment where all students feel safe to engage, take risks, and rebuild their confidence in math. Walk away with practical tools to transform your math classroom into a space for healing and growth.
