Description:
The purpose of this project is to explore how mathematical misconceptions and or mathematics anxiety intersect to influence how teachers understand mathematics and how that influences the mathematics they teach their students. Research says that students, who are empowered mathematically are the ones who were taught mathematics by teachers who build students’ mathematical identity. Research also indicates that students who have a strong mathematical identity have much greater mathematics achievement and have a much higher earning potential. Our goal is to understand what influences preservice teacher mathematics misconceptions and anxiety and develop strategies to address misconceptions and remove the mathematics anxiety.
