I am studying the existence of math anxiety and the best ways to teach math to avoid subject anxiety.
I'm studying this because I want to find out if there are ways to reduce the number of people who say things like "I'm just not a math person." I want to know if the number of people who do well in math can be increased.
This is in order to help my readers understand that math anxiety is a real phenomenon that can be avoided. Current methods for teaching mathematics in elementary school, high school, and college all have flaws that must be fixed.
My audience is people who have influence over math curriculum. Educators, school officials, lawmakers, and parents. They are pro education but may be against changes in the structure of classes.
My audience may find my claim initially unacceptable because I propose changes that could be costly. Additionally, many educators are set in their ways and don't have much interest in changing.
My audience most values the education of students. However, they also value money and may resist implementing more costly reforms.
My audience fears students failing in mathematics. They really don't want their children to have a hard time, and they also don't want the country to fall behind in math.
