Unstuck

By Sikho

Priya aces her homework every night and still goes blank on timed tests. Marcus decided in third grade he "isn't a math person" and has avoided anything math-shaped ever since. Zoe gets a real stomachache before math class starts. None of them are bad at math -- and this book proves it with the actual neuroscience and psychology of math anxiety, not vague encouragement. Drawing on real, named research -- Stanford brain-imaging studies on math-anxious kids, University of Chicago research on why the smartest, most prepared students often freeze hardest under pressure, and studies on what genuinely helps (and what genuinely doesn't) -- Unstuck explains exactly what's happening in an anxious brain during a math test, and hands middle schoolers real, evidence-based tools: how to out-think a timed test, how retrieval practice rebuilds real confidence, why productive struggle is a feature of learning and not a warning sign, and how to ask a parent or teacher for the kind of help that actually helps. Following three real, relatable middle schoolers through a school year, this book never promises a magic fix -- it promises the truth about what's happening in your brain, and the specific, research-backed things that actually work.
