From the research conducted by (Marzita
Puteh, 1998), there are several causes of mathematics anxiety. The major cause
of mathematics anxiety was related to teacher personality and their style of
teaching. Besides that, public examination and their effects also lead to
mathematics anxiety. Other than that, it is also related to affective domain or
the self factor such as student’s personality and his perception to
mathematics. Feelings and worries also lead to mathematics anxiety since
students will have difficulties with their memory and innate disability.
Moreover, students were also burden by
parent’s expectation and standards where they must excel in mathematics if they
want to success. Furthermore, it was found that peer group influences and the
relevance of studying mathematics also caused mathematics anxiety.
