Abstract
Empathy is the ability to be able to infer what others are feeling or thinking, so then one can react or show care to another based on what is being inferred. Empathy is becoming a standard in many classrooms. While it is needed in every classroom, empathy is often excluded from the math classroom because many math teachers do not always know how to teach to the “whole” student, and do not understand how to empathize with their students. This thesis is a literature review, which examines what empathy is, why it is important in the classroom setting and why it is needed in the math classroom.
