Abstract: 

Mathematics anxiety is a known problem in mathematics education. This paper reports on a study looking at mathematics anxiety in a primary school classroom (year 6). Students were given a mathematics test and a following anxiety questionnaire to assess their levels of anxiety, to try to better understand issues that caused anxiety and to understand ways that teachers might help reduce anxiety. Results indicated that assessing anxiety itself could be pedagogically valuable. Results also offered some suggestions for reducing anxiety.
