What is Math Anxiety?

Math anxiety or fear of math is actually quite common. Math anxiety is quite    1   to stage-fright. Why does someone suffer stage-fright? Fear of something going wrong in front of a crowd? Fear of   2   the lines? Fear of being judged   3   ? Fear of going completely blank? Math anxiety shows fear of some type. The fear that one won't be able to do the math or the fear that it's too hard or the fear of failure which often results from having a lack of   4   . For the most part, math anxiety is the   5   about doing the math right, our minds draw a   6   and we think we'll fail and of course the more frustrated and anxious our minds become, the   7__   the chance for drawing blanks.

Where Does Math Anxiety Come From?

Usually math anxiety results from    8  experiences in mathematics. Math anxiety is often due to poor teaching and poor experiences in math which typically leads to math   __9___. When one tries to memorize procedures, rules and routines without much   10   , the math is quickly forgotten and   11   soon sets in. Think about your experiences with one concept --- the division of fractions(分数). You probably learned about reciprocals（倒数） and inverses(倒转). Well, you memorized the rule and it   12   . Why does it work? Think of math as memorizing all the procedures -- what if you forget a few? Therefore, with this type of strategy, a good   13   will help, but, what if you don’t have a good memory? Understanding the math is critical. Once students   14   they can do the math, the whole notion of math anxiety can be overcome. Teachers and parents play an important   15   in ensuring students understand the math being presented to them.
