Ashton's Math Anxiety Scale

Ashton’s Math Anxiety Scale is a tool used to measure the level of anxiety or fear a person experiences when working with math. It helps identify how uneasy or stressed someone feels about math tasks, which can affect their ability to learn and perform in math-related activities. Usually, individuals respond to questions rating their feelings on a scale, allowing educators or psychologists to understand their emotional response to math. Recognizing math anxiety is important because it can be addressed through support strategies, helping individuals become more confident and comfortable with math over time.
