Mathematics Anxiety


I wrote the following Action Research Project on "Examining Mathematics Anxiety in Preservice Teachers" as part of my Master of Science in Education Program.  It was formally bound and now sadly sits on a bookshelf collecting dust.  I thought I'd break it apart and post the information for others interested in the topic.  Please feel free to leave comments as I'd love to hear your thoughts.
