    Most of the people are aware of the

    Mathematics subject. According to Merriam


    Webster Dictionary, mathematics is the science of
    numbers, quantities, and shapes and the relation
    between them. In addition, there are some
    students who are afraid or having different
    negative feelings towards math subject. The
    Researcher discovered that the term for those
    given set of feelings is called “Math Anxiety”
    Mark H. Ashcraft stated the definition of math
    anxiety as “a feeling of tension. Apprehension, od
    fear that interferes with math performance.” And
    according to Schar, when a highly math-anxious
    students performs disappointingly on a math
    question, the reason could be math anxiety, or the
    lack of competency in math due to math
    avoidance. There are more research related to math
    anxiety and many scholars confirmed that math
    anxiety really exist.
    Being in a situation where you are having some
    panic attacks and nervousness towards math during
    math class is a sign of math anxiety. Having
    frustrations and negative thoughts every time you are
    called to solve specific math problem are also the
    sign of it. There are other signs of math anxiety. Based
    on these example, we can now identify if someone is
    suffering from it. Especially, you can have the
    awareness in terms of your personal status. You can
    identify if you are one of the people whop have math
    anxiety of not.
