Math anxiety needs to be dealt with in the classroom in order to make it a
pleasant and helpful place to learn. As a math teacher, there are many
things you can do to help your kids feel more con±dent and less anxious
about math.
One good way to do this is to encourage a growth mindset, which means
stressing the idea that skills can be improved through hard work and
dedication. Teaching kids to see their mistakes as chances to learn instead
of failures helps them become more resilient and calms them down. A
positive attitude can also be helped by giving helpful feedback that focuses
on effort rather than natural talent.
Putting mathematical ideas to use in the real world can make the subject
more interesting and relatable, which can lower nervousness. Students
learn to see math as a dynamic and connected subject, not just a set of
rules, through group talks, interactive activities, and working together to
solve problems.
Personalized learning plans that are made just for each student can help
them with speci±c areas where they are having trouble, and they can go at
their own pace. This method takes into account that every student learns at
a different speed and style, which helps them feel more con±dent and less
anxious.
Making links between math and things you do every day can help you
understand it better. To motivate pupils and show them how math is used
in real life, showing how mathematical ideas are used in different jobs and
situations can be very helpful.
As a teacher, sharing your own experiences with how you overcame math
problems can help build a helpful environment. Being honest with kids
helps them understand that everyone has problems and that sticking with
something is important for success.
According to research (Suárez-Pellicioni et al., 2018), these methods do
work to help people who are worried about math. Teachers can make the
math classroom a positive and welcoming place for everyone by using a
mix of growth mindset support, hands-on activities, personalized learning,
real-life links, and personal stories.

An excellent ±rst discussion that focuses on possible solutions in both the initial post and replies. I agree that they are all good to implement, but just be sure to cite your source as it was missing in the initial post and ±rst reply. Second reply has the Hembree and in perfect format. I look forward to our next discussion on standardized testing.
