Teaching and learning maths applies to everyone. We pour massive amounts of money on teachers’ salaries, textbooks, teacher education, school facilities… And what’s the take out?There is a national concern about the relative and absolute declines of Australian students’ performance and engagement in mathematics and the intransigence of teaching practices that must change if the improvement is to occur.At the moment, students develop an aversion towards the subject; their mathematical self-confidence is low, and the national reports show that students simply switch off as soon as they are given the opportunity. This results in worsening shortages of mathematically skilled people to drive Australian competitiveness and innovation, and limited prospects for the individuals concerned.To fix this, we will need a bit of courage. Such as talking the culture around mathematics learning: Maths + society: How can we make mathematics everyone's right? “Do women have a right to put their bodies on display if they want to show the relationships between mathematics and everyday life?” Maths + gender equality: Who has the right to change how we see maths? “In what kind of society we live in, as the “mathematical model” Pietro Boselli is okay to be featured in maths classes, but women doing the same come across as inappropriate?”I have extensive expertise in making people fall in love with maths. In addition to that, I have a story to tell about how to be a female researcher in the masculine field of science, using my own personality to show the human side of learning mathematics. What keeps me going are the numerous stories I hear from the people who have got their lives on the right track after having got rid of the fear of maths-related life careers, with the help of accessible maths.https://mathsforhumans.com/blog/f/blame-it-on-me
