This document provides clear procedural guidelines for administering the nineteen-item questionnaire, which utilizes visual emoji-based scales to gauge emotional responses to daily numeracy scenarios. It outlines the specific numerical scoring system, ranging from a minimum of 19 to a maximum of 57, and explains the methodology for calculating mean scores. By dividing the total score by 19, practitioners can determine an individual's anxiety level, where values approaching one signify minimal concern and values approaching three indicate heightened anxiety. This resource is intended for educators and professionals to facilitate the early identification of mathematical apprehension, enabling more tailored academic support for young learners. The scale is grounded in the validated research by Petronzi et al. (2018), ensuring its reliability for assessing childhood numerical anxiety in various educational settings.",{"@graph":69,"@context":122},[70,84,105],{"@type":71,"itemListElement":72},"BreadcrumbList",[73,77,79,82],{"item":74,"name":75,"@type":76,"position":8},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":78,"name":9,"@type":76,"position":14},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/",{"item":80,"name":20,"@type":76,"position":81},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/exam/",3,{"item":83,"name":65,"@type":76,"position":19},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/childrens-mathematics-anxiety-scale-uk-administration-and-scoring-instructions/497401/",{"url":83,"name":65,"@type":85,"image":86,"author":91,"headline":65,"publisher":94,"fileFormat":97,"inLanguage":63,"description":67,"dateModified":98,"datePublished":99,"encodingFormat":97,"isAccessibleForFree":100,"interactionStatistic":101},"DigitalDocument",{"url":87,"@type":88,"width":89,"height":90},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/childrens-mathematics-anxiety-scale-uk-administration-and-scoring-instructions/497401.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":92,"@type":93},"Maya Linwood","Person",{"url":74,"name":95,"@type":96},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-11-02","2026-10-02",true,{"@type":102,"interactionType":103,"userInteractionCount":39},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":104},"ViewAction",{"@type":106,"mainEntity":107},"FAQPage",[108,114,118],{"name":109,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":111},"What is the target age group for the CMAS-UK?","Question",{"text":112,"@type":113},"The Children's Mathematics Anxiety Scale UK is designed for children typically aged between 4 and 7 years old.","Answer",{"name":115,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":116},"How is the CMAS-UK score interpreted?",{"text":117,"@type":113},"Each item is scored from 1 to 3; a mean score close to 1 suggests little-to-no maths anxiety, while a mean closer to 3 indicates a high level of anxiety.",{"name":119,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":120},"What is the total range of possible scores for the scale?",{"text":121,"@type":113},"The total scores for the scale range from a minimum of 19 to a maximum of 57.","https://schema.org",{"og:url":83,"og:type":124,"og:title":65,"og:site_name":95,"og:description":67},"article",{"robots":126,"canonical":83},"index,follow",{"doc_id":128,"site_id":62},497401,1792204535,{"code":4,"msg":5,"data":131},{"doc_id":128,"user_id":132,"nickname":92,"user_avatar":133,"doc_module":4,"category_id":19,"category_name":20,"doc_title":65,"doc_description":67,"doc_content":134,"file_id":135,"file_url":136,"file_type":137,"file_size":138,"view_count":39,"is_deleted":4,"is_public":8,"is_downloadable":8,"audit_status":8,"page_count":8,"language":139,"language_code":63,"site_id":62,"html_lang":63,"table_of_contents":140,"faqs":141,"seo_title":142,"seo_description":67,"update_tm":143,"read_time":81,"preview_page_count":4},962084928432,"https://ap-avatar.wpscdn.com/davatar_155a257f0dc6eb9ab79c44ca47cae57d","The Children's Mathematics Anxiety Scale UK (CMAS-UK)  \nThe items in the questionnaire refer to day-to-day numeracy situations that may cause anxiety for children, typically aged 4-7 years. For each item, children can place a circle around the face which describes how they feel in relation to the situation. Younger children may require some guidance, e.g. if there are difficulties with reading.  \nTo score, each item corresponds to a number (1-3):  \n1 2 3  \nAdd up all the scores to create a total. The minimum score is 19 and the maximum is 57.  \nTo support understanding of an individual’s level of maths anxiety, a mean score can be created by dividing their total by 19. There are no set labels for representing the mean scores, but a mean close to one would indicate little-to-no maths anxiety, whereas a mean closer to 3 would indicate a high level of maths anxiety.  \nCitation: Petronzi, D., Staples, P., Sheffield, D., Hunt, T.
