Mathematics or number anxiety, while a potent motivator, often operates as a hindrance in solving mathematical problems. This anxiety, poorly understood yet significant, typically exerts a negative influence, leading learners to adopt avoidance strategies. It can be viewed as a form of learned helplessness, where individuals perceive no escape from the distress of mathematics and endure both social and psychological discomfort until the ordeal concludes. This study seeks to elucidate the primary causes of math anxiety among students and delineate identifiable symptoms. Additionally, the study proposes preventive measures aimed at reducing math anxiety, thereby offering valuable insights for educators and learners alike.
