In this episode, I chat with Tanya LaMar, first generation college student who earned her Ph.D. in mathematics education from Stanford University! Tanya is the CEO of Struggly.com, an online program for students that helps them "walk the walk" of growth mindset as they grapple with interesting mathematic. Dr. LaMar shares with us the surprising role that struggle plays in math learning. We begin to unpack why tackling challenges and experiencing those “aha” moments are key to building confidence and seeing yourself as a true “math person.” Together, we explore how reframing math struggles as steps toward discovery and growth can reshape students’ math identities. Whether you're a teacher, student, or math enthusiast, this episode offers fresh insights on embracing struggle as a natural—and powerful—part of learning math.For a FREE 60-day trial of Struggly, click the link below.tinyurl.com/tryStrugglyStruggly.com@struggly_mathsTo get in touch with Dr. LaMar: https://www.instagram.com/struggly_maths/⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/tanya-lamar/⁠
