Math anxiety is a real thing, a new brain imaging study by Stanford researchers has confirmed. In a study in the journal Psychological Science, researchers found that there is increased activity in the brain region linked with fear in the brains of second and third graders with math anxiety. Because of the increased activity in the fear brain region, there was decreased activity in their brain regions linked with problem-solving.

This is a link to someone's Diigo collection of Maths sites in the UK, with over 400 bookmarks!! Incredibly well documented and resources we need to investigate in detail

The aim of the site is to provide an environment where people can dictate the direction of their learning offering a range of interactive tools, links and resources. Many pupils have ability to further themselves, demonstrate the desire to learn and show a passion to achieve yet their needs are often not met in the busy classroom. The videos, interactive apps and resources will allow you to take control of your education and offer a chance to find a medium and speed most suited to your learning style.

"A centre for teachers, students, researchers, parents, educators, and citizens at all levels who have an interest in mathematics education. Lots of links to resources at other sites."
