Math Anxiety, Fun Learning StrategiesAbstract
In order to reduce math anxiety and increase students' enjoyment of learning mathematics, this study sought to determine how well fun learning practices may be included into mathematics instruction. Measuring the effect of these tactics on students' perceptions of math as an enjoyable subject and math anxiety levels were the particular goals. The study discovered that when students used engaging learning tools, their levels of arithmetic anxiety significantly decreased. The results of this study demonstrate how effective enjoyable learning techniques can be in ending the cycle of math anxiety and enhancing the overall mathematics learning experience. This study's implications for educators, curriculum developers, and legislators highlight the value of incorporating engaging and interactive components into arithmetic instruction.
