The math anxiety problem among teachers truly concerns me. I am not that strong at math (I have a lot of rote skills which are not very strong as far as number sense) and would never want to be a general "teacher" because of this. DD is fond of asking me theoretical questions that I can't answer ("But why..." "But is it true that..." ) and I do feel stupid. Doesn't matter the grade level! She has been asking me these since she was 5 or 6! And if I see her doing something wrong, sometimes I feel like I can't explain well WHY it's wrong.
