A child with maths anxiety may become a parent or a teacher with maths anxiety

Maths Anxiety and the anxiety of teaching maths: A policy paper.

Author(s) / Creator(s)

Santos, Flavia H

Abstract / Description

This article aims to help readers to understand the importance of mitigating maths anxiety in home and school environments and to drive the attention of the policymakers to the fact that maths anxiety prevalence is shaped by gender and socioeconomic status, among other factors. Because maths anxiety can harm students’ performance, career choices and teachers’ well-being and instruction skills, it must be addressed for the benefit of society and individuals. The article describes maths anxiety and its impact on maths education, good practices in the school environment to mitigate it and showcases a continuous professional development "Teachers’ Maths Anxiety classroom management" to support teachers to deal with both maths anxiety in students and their anxiety about teaching maths. The programme was elaborated by Dr Flavia H. Santos, under the Arithmós Project, funded by the Irish Research Council in collaboration with Technological University Dublin.
