Students with math anxiety experience both physiological and psychological symptoms, in addition to long-term effects. This article examines the global context of math anxiety, the causes of math anxiety, and what educators can do to support students who experience math anxiety in hopes that students can have a positive lifelong relationship with math.  \nMany people are under the misconception that there are those who are “math people,” and those who are not. This mentality is one of the elements that can lead to people feeling anxious about math (Boaler, 2016) . Math anxiety is a worldwide problem affecting people of all ages (Luttenberger et al. , 2018) . Math anxiety refers to feelings of apprehension and fear, as well as physiological symptoms, when individuals perform, or anticipate having to perform, math tasks (Gerado et al. , 2018) . Math anxiety has been reported in students as young as first grade and can continue to be a problem for some people into adulthood (Pantoja et al. , 2020) . In the  \nU.S.A. , two-thirds of adults report some fear of math, despite their background or culture (Mitchell, 2018) . In adults, math anxiety has been shown to interfere in both daily life and academic situations (Pantoja et al. , 2020) . If there is evidence that this phenomenon can start as early as first grade, and plague people into adulthood, affecting even their choice of career, then it is the duty of educators and parents to understand what math anxiety is, what causes it, and how to use practical strategies to help alleviate students’ anxiety surrounding math.  \nThe Common Global Denominator of Math Anxiety  \nTo fully understand the impact of math anxiety on our students, we need to look at how math anxiety looks in classrooms around the world. The PISA 2012 results provide a comprehensive look at math data from students around the globe. To gather data specifically on math anxiety, students were asked a series of questions about how they feel when performing math tasks (OECD, 2013) . Across the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development countries, 59% of students worry that a math task will be difficult for them, 33% get very tense when they must do math homework, 30% feel helpless when performing a math task and 61% worry about getting a poor grade in math (OECD, 2013, p. 98) . The study found that there has been an increase in math anxiety since PISA 2003. In countries that saw an increase in math anxiety, there was a decrease in self-efficacy and self-concept surrounding mathematics. The PISA results indicated that higher levels of math anxiety led to lower performance results. The countries that experienced the least amount of math anxiety were ones where the students generally performed averagely. Across all countries and economies, at least one in three students worried about their math performance (OECD, 2015, p. 2) . These statistics are staggering, showcasing just how widespread the phenomenon of math anxiety is.  \nIsolating the Variables of Math Anxiety  \nMath anxiety has many causes and not all factors may play a part in each students’individual anxiety. Factors that may contribute to math anxiety are the influence of teachers, the influence of parents, gender stereotypes, prior experiences, and classmate interactions. It is  \nimportant to understand how each of these causes engenders math anxiety so that we can then find strategies to help our students alleviate the anxiety and find success in math.  \nTeachers can be a positive influence in a child’s mathematical learning; however, the opposite is also true. The majority of students’math knowledge is learned in the classroom, and, depending on their home life, this may be the students’ first exposure to math learning (Gerado et al. , 2018) .
