Maths Fear Reasons and Steps to Reduce

Abstract

This article highlights the methods that have been shown to help students, parents, and educators deal with mathematics anxiety. Mathematics has played and continues to play an important part in the educational experience of students at all levels, from the distant past to the current day. People are frequently confronted with mathematical problems in their everyday lives and are required to apply a wide range of skills, including estimation, data analysis, numerical processing, and logical reasoning, when making decisions. In addition to helping students become better mathematicians, it also helps students gain a broader perspective on the world, spark creative problem-solving, and develop novel approaches to old issues. In order for students to realize their full academic potential, educators and researchers must address the widespread problem of mathematics fear. We study that there is a relation between math anxiety and math performance and the factors that contribute to math anxiety. We also build a novel Interpretation Account of math anxiety and use it to make the case that it is critical to investigate evaluation processes to effectively cure math anxiety. Finally, research gaps are discussed, along with recommendations for future studies that can fill those gaps and advance our understanding of this crucial topic.
