The image shows a monkey playing around inside the head of a student and an arrow pointing towards another student's head where a monkey switched on the light and shows books, a laptop, a suitcase.. The first student is faded and the second is colourful with a smile like thinking.
La imagen muestra a un mono jugando en el interior de la cabeza de un estudiante y una flecha que señala a otro estudiante en el que el mono ha encendido la luz y se ve que hay libros, un portátil, una mochila... El primer estudiante está como apagado y el segundo lleno de color y con una sonrisa como pensando.

Excerpt from the interview highlighting a phrase from the book "Learning to love Math" that states "No other school subject pushes emotional buttons the way math does".

"Students in the elementary grades are still interested in their studies, and the arithmetic they need to learn is achievable without too much effort. They generally maintain a positive attitude toward mathematics in these grades. But attitudes change when students get into middle school and high school, where mathematics is taught by subject-area teachers and the coursework is more demanding. Teachers now hear many students saying, “I don’t like math!” There are several reasons for this emotional response to secondary-level mathematics. One reason is due to what is generally termed “math anxiety.” We will discuss math anxiety in greater detail in Chapter 7. For now, we will note that anxiety triggers an increase in corti- sol—the stress hormone—in the blood, and that produces an unwelcome and uncomfortable mental state."
Cite from the book "Many parents of today's students learned math by doing worksheets and drills, and they expect the same for their children. Parents who were successful in math through repeated memorization skills (rather than strong concept development) may resent alternative math instruction, such as inquiry and manipulatives, for their children. A possible result is that some parents may feel frustrated when they can't help their children with the unfamiliar homework."
Fragmento del libro de David A. Sousa en el que se dice que en primaria las matemáticas requieren poco esfuerzo y luego en secundaria se complican.
