The solution to math anxiety isn’t just improving math skills. Research says it’s crucial to address the psychological origins directly. For example...

💬 Be encouraging and avoid language that makes math feel inaccessible.
⏳ Offer low-stakes or untimed tests to reduce stress.
🌏 Embed math in real-world problems and projects to keep students engaged.
