Abstract
Mathematics anxiety is a problem for many people. It can have detrimental effects for college students including feelings of nervous tension, fear of rejection, and stress. This study examined the math anxiety levels for Chippewa Valley Technical College Students. It was found that the average level of math anxiety at CVTC for the survey sample is not significantly higher than other similar educational institutions. A moderately negative correlation was found between grade point average and level of math anxiety. A positive correlation was found between students’ dislike of mathematics and math anxiety levels. Students also reported levels of anxiety associated with algebra, word problems, and studying.
