Maths anxiety hides in plain sight — masked as low ability, reluctance, or behaviour — yet it quietly erodes confidence, disrupts progress, and closes doors.

This session, hosted by 0maths.co.uk, explores why maths anxiety takes root, how it shows up in behaviour and disengagement, and what it costs our students — from missed learning to missed futures. We’ll bust common myths and dig into what’s really going on beneath the surface.

We'll offer you practical, evidence-informed strategies that get to the root of maths fear — helping learners feel safer, more capable, and ready to re-engage.

You’ll also be introduced to 0maths.co.uk - a fresh and inclusive whole-school maths platform that helps everyone bring their best self to their maths lesson by reducing maths anxiety, screening for weaknesses and difficulties (eg dyslexia, dyscalculia and AD(H)D), and following up with a suite of thoughtful research-informed adaptations that ensure learners with diverse needs are not left behind.
