Hello! My name is Sam Jarnot and I am a fourth grade teacher in Sartell, MN. Over the years, I have witnessed students develop math anxiety due to classes they were placed in, previous strategies used in past classrooms, or the academic "language" they have heard from their peers. My goal was to find a way to reduce math anxiety in the classroom by promoting a growth mindset, along with utilizing specific classroom strategies.
