Symptoms of Math Anxiety

List the reasons that Tobias gives for why people suffer from math anxiety. Can you relate to any of the situations that she describes? Do you think the problems she points to are unique to math or have you ever experienced or seen someone else experience these symptoms in other disciplines?

Tobias explains how students have a fear of making mistakes, they feel like everyone else understands what they're learning in math and they don't. I can relate to these situations because I always had trouble with math and it seemed like everyone in my class understood it quickly. Many students have anxiety due to many classes they take it isn't just math it could be any subject. Math is one of the main subjects I believe that students struggle with the most.

  1. Everyone has the one class or subject that they just feel hopeless in. For you its unfortunately math. We learn from our mistakes so we can never make them again.
