What is Math Anxiety?
Math anxiety is a common experience.
Math anxiety is a negative emotional reaction to mathematics that can significantly impact academic performance and achievement. Unfortunately, math anxiety is a common experience, reported by 33% of students by the time they reach 15 years old.
Math anxiety can manifest in different ways and to varying degrees. Common symptoms include:
- difficulty explaining or discussing math topics and concepts
- negative self-talk - feeling like one is not smart enough or will never be able to understand it
- nervousness in math class or when faced with math problems
- difficulty concentrating, leading to more mistakes
- physical symptoms such as sweating and rapid heartbeat
- difficulty remembering concepts and procedures
- decreased self-esteem or confidence
Math anxiety can stem from various factors, yet with appropriate support, it is possible to overcome it and thrive in mathematics.
