Description

In Episode 17, Anna Stokke sits down with Dr. Robin Codding to talk about timed tests and math anxiety.   Robin is a psychology professor who researches math interventions, assessment tools and math anxiety. She is  one of the founding members of the group The Science of Math.  


In this episode, Anna asks Robin to shed some light on claims that timed tests cause math anxiety. They discuss the relationship between math achievement and math anxiety, whether it's important to include timed practice in math class, how much practice is needed to become fluent with math skills, at what stage students should be engaging in timed practice, causes of math anxiety, and best ways to mitigate it.  


They talk about the relationship between conceptual and procedural understanding and whether productive struggle is a reasonable instructional technique.  Robin also shares strategies for identifying instructional methods that are philosophy-based, rather than evidence-based.  This episode is an essential resource for clearing up misconceptions about timed tests and math anxiety.
