• Build Confidence: Help students overcome "math anxiety" during online games and problem-solving challenges, fostering a safe space where mistakes are viewed as learning opportunities.
• Be a Role Model: Share your personal story and interests (hobbies, sports, arts) to show that being "math smart" goes hand-in-hand with being a fun, well-rounded individual.
• Provide Encouragement: Offer individualized support to students as needed, modeling curiosity, teamwork, and positive behavior.
• Virtual Classroom Support: Assist with managing the chat box, monitoring student engagement/cameras, helping with technical troubleshooting, and ensuring a smooth flow during the session.
