Using humour to combat maths anxiety

Kids may experience anxiety just knowing there is a lesson coming up, like maths.  If a Math Cartoon is shown at the beginning of a math lesson, a different perspective on mathematics will grow, reducing anxiety and encouraging laughter, fun and motivation.

How to use them:

• Use it as a quick opener for a new math concept being learnt.
• A scaffolding activity at the beginning of a lesson explaining the logic behind it.
• Kids can create their own math cartoon.                                                        
• Put these up on display in the classroom.
