What is Math Anxiety?
Math anxiety or fear of math is actually quite common. Math anxiety is quite 1to stage-fright. Why does someone suffer 2? Fear of something going wrong in front of a crowd? Fear of 3the lines? Fear of being judged 4? Fear of going completely blank? Math anxiety conjures（使现出） up fear of some type. The fear that one won't be able to do the 5or the fear that it's too hard or the fear of failure which often stems(起因于) from having a lack of 6. For the most part, math anxiety is the 7about doing the math right, our minds draw a 8and we think we'll fail and of course the more frustrated and anxious our minds become, the 9the chance for drawing blanks. Added pressure of having time limits on math tests and exams also cause the levels of anxiety grow for many students.
Where Does Math Anxiety Come From?
Usually math anxiety stems from 10experiences in mathematics. Typically math phobias have had math presented in such a fashion that it led to limited understanding. Unfortunately, math anxiety is often 11poor teaching and poor experiences in math which typically leads to math 12. Many of the students I've encountered with math anxiety have demonstrated an over reliance on procedures in math as opposed to actually understanding the math. When one tries to memorize procedures, rules and routines without much 13, the math is quickly forgotten and 14soon sets in. Think about your experiences with one concept --- the division of fractions（小部分）. You probably learned about reciprocals（倒数） and inverses. In other words, 'It's not yours to reason why, just invert（反转） and multiply'（乘）. Well, you memorized the rule and it 15 . Why does it work? Do you really understand why it works? Did anyone every use pizzas or math manipulative（巧妙处理的） to show you why it works? If 16 , you simply memorized the procedure and that was that. Think of math as memorizing all the procedures -- 17if you forget a few? Therefore, with this type of strategy, a good 18will help, but, what if you don’t have a good memory. Understanding the math is critical. Once students 19they can do the math, the whole notion of math anxiety can be overcome. Teachers and parents have an important 20to ensure students understand the math being presented to them.

The finest and most sought-after violins were handcrafted by an Italian violin maker over 250 years ago. The man’s name was Antonius Stradivarius.
