 During  my school years and, later, during my university studies on Physics it  became clear to me that the teaching of scientific subjects lacked  creativity, imagination and depth. Having been facing anxiety and maths  anxiety since I was a kid I decided to search for alternative  educational paths to help my well-being and my learning, as well as my  teaching competence. This led to the Montessori Method which helped me  realise that behind every accomplishment we find a calm child, who can  deeply focus on their work and use the stimuli of their environment in  an effective and confident way. Mindfulness is a requirement for a Montessori class, even though we do not realise it at first thought. A calm mind, therefore, is able to process information, including that of Mathematics. 

Mathematics  Anxiety has been besetting many students and adults but, unfortunatley,  it remains unknown by the majority of people working in education, even  though it has been officially recognised almost 50 years ago.

Mindfulness  and holistic educational approaches like that of Montessori equip  teachers with patience, empathy and strong paedagogical skills which  give children the space they need in order to thrive!
