“I hate math”

“I can’t do math” 

“Math?  No way..don’t ask me to do math”

.. .. sounds familiar ? If you are a parent, you probably have heard it from your kids. If you are a math teacher, even more so 🙂

What is math anxiety? Why do people experience math anxiety? What are the symptoms of math anxiety? How do we overcome math anxiety?

As educators, we need to have a better understanding of math anxiety in order for us to help our students have a greater chance of being successful with their math courses.
