The Mathematical anxiety

Many people are suffering from mathematical anxiety but the question is why and what is basically mathematical anxiety is???
The fear of math’s, numbers fear of solving the question in wrong manner fear that i am not doing it the way it should be done it is all because when the base of a student is not being developed properly in the early ages of life. Some even say that it due to some psychological disorder.

MATH & CULTURE:-
do the culture effect something on the brains of the people to have great math’s skills or don’t have the math’s anxiety studies proved that 51% Canadian people have mathematical anxiety and people in countries like INDIA SRI-LANKA & KOREA possesses great mathematical skills.

MATHEMATICS & WOMEN:-
it is observed that women have higher level of mathematical anxiety as compare to men that's why mostly are girls all around world chooses fields in which math’s courses are less. the Korean and Japanese universities proved statistically that women chooses programming and Visual arts studies lesser as compare to man.but on the other hand women all around the world are remarkably good in decision making.about 52% girls are occupying the HR positions globally.


Suggestions for teachers to Reduce Maths anxiety:-
National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) (1989, 1995b) suggestions for teachers seeking to prevent math anxiety include:
·         Accommodating for different learning styles
·         Creating a variety of testing environments
·         Designing positive experiences in math classes
·         Refraining from tying self-esteem to success with math
·         Emphasizing that everyone makes mistakes in mathematics
·         Making math relevant
·         Letting students have some input into their own evaluations

The protected modifier restricts the access to the containing class and to any class derived directly or indirectly from the containing class. The internal modifier restricts the access to the code in the same assembly. The public modifier does not restrict access. 2. You are developing code that defines an InitFields method. Th...
