Mathematical anxiety is characterised by a trepidation and fear of mathematics. When faced with mathematical issues or tasks, those who suffer from mathematical anxiety may feel tense, apprehensive, or even panicked. This emotional reaction may make it more difficult for them to do well in math-related tasks, which may have an impact on their academic and career goals. There are many different causes of mathematical anxiety, including pressure to perform well, bad experiences in the past, and societal perceptions about math. In certain cases, anxiety is exacerbated by a lack of confidence in one’s mathematical aptitude, leading to a vicious cycle.
To combat mathematical anxiety, one must cultivate a positive outlook and increase self-assurance in one’s mathematical abilities. Techniques for reducing anxiety include simplifying difficult issues, highlighting practical applications, and offering encouraging learning environments. In order to overcome math anxiety and foster a positive relationship with mathematics, it is imperative to support a growth mindset, in which people feel that they can get better with effort. People can ultimately realise their full potential in mathematical endeavours by admitting and resolving their fear of math.
