The word ' math' can conjure up a lot of negative feelings for many people. Memories of frustration, anxiety, inadequacy or a sense of helplessness are unfortunately not uncommon. It doesn' t have to be this way! The math classroom can be a warm, inviting and safe space to share intrigue, ideas and observations. A place where making math make sense for everyone is front and centre, and students are inspired to openly volunteer their thinking about problems, offering each other ideas of how to solve them. Bothered About Maths is the first spin-off from the bestselling Botheredness book by Hywel Roberts. Botheredness is about regaining professional integrity as a teacher - going the extra mile for the benefit of students and, more importantly, for teachers themselves. Essentially, botheredness is a catch-all term for great classroom culture, teaching, optimism, storytelling, warmth, and contextual learning.
