A course for Coaches of Mathematical Resilience
This poster gives an overview of our work developing Coaches for Mathematical Resilience, working with people who were maths-anxious when they started. It was presented at PME2014 in Vancouver.

Importance of Mathematical Resilience to National Numeracy
Writing about web page http://www.nationalnumeracy.org.uk/resources/72/index.html?term=resilience
"Mathematical resilience is an important theortical development within the study of mathematics, and it compliments the ideas of Carol Dweck's Mindset - that abilities can be developed thorugh hard work and support.
A strong focus of National Numeracy's work is the campaign to tackle negative attitudes towards maths, and helping people to develop mathematical resilience is part of this work."

Schweinle A. and Mims G. A (2009) Mathematics self-efficacy: stereotype threat versus resilience. Social Psychology of Education, 12(4), pp 501-514
Starting from mathematical 'self-efficacy', this paper examines the mathematics self-efficacy of 170 fifth-grade students, and discusses the results in terms of resilience and identity.

Developing Mathematical Resilience among Aboriginal Students
Writing about web page http://www.merga.net.au/documents/Thornton_Statton_&_Mountzouris_2012_MERGA_35.pdf
Abstract
"The processes of mathematisation, the use of mathematical models and representations of
real world contexts, and contextualisation, the embedding of mathematical ideas into a
meaningful context, are key aspects of students’ mathematical learning. We present a
conceptual framework for thinking about mathematising and contextualising developed as
part of the Make it Count, a national project that seeks to develop an evidence base of
practices that improve Indigenous students’ learning in mathematics. We suggest that an
intentional focus on mathematisation and contextualisation helps to make mathematics
meaningful, particularly for Indigenous students. In particular we suggest that such a focus
has the potential to enhance the mathematical resilience of Aboriginal students."
