-Therese, you said you had some ideas for this. How about you take the lead.+Math Anxiety 
 +   * 93% of adults identify as being bad at math 
 +   * Different components: general dislike of math, fear of boardwork/working with peers, test anxiety 
 + 
 +What to do to counter it: 
 +   * Never assume a math step is obvious 
 +   * Write all steps on the board 
 +   * Don't erase 
 +   * Explain in words 
 +   * Group work 
 +         * Have students write on the board as much as possible, and explain in groups to the class or each other. 
 +         * Try out conceptual math 
 +         * Get students to think about whether or not their answer makes sense on a qualitative scale before moving to a                    
 +         quantitative one 
 +         * Make the fraction of your class that is equation-based similar to that of exams 
 +         * Emphasize office hours/TALC 
 + 
 +Lecture tutorials: 
 +   * Developed as an activity for large lecture classes-- lecture the first ~30 minutes, complete the activity in  
 +   partners for the last ~20. 
 +   * However, written with lots of useful techniques for section 
 +

 +   * What did you notice about the activity and implementation? 
 +   * Scaffolding 
 +   * Don't spend excessive amounts of time with any one group 
 +   * Get them to read the problem aloud-- can solve many issues
