Math "anxiety" could be prevented by taking a different approach to teaching math. If a student doesn't understand an equation, another equation isn't going to help the student understand! Teachers should try teaching math by using words more and numbers less. If a student doesn't understand the concept of an equation, they are not going to be able to solve the equation.
Also, drilling--lots of practice makes a person comfortable with math. Confidence is the key to success.

I was once a great student in Math. A's were the norm until I took a Physics Course that was predominately math related. Confussion and frustration were minor words to describe my feelings. I could not drop nor quit the course.
The greatest thing I did was admit my inability and go directly to the instructor and ask for help. Seemed I did not pick-up the beginning and as the course progressed I was further in the blind.
Go directly to your teacher and ask for help. They are there to help and teach not to fail you or themselves.

I have a hard time with math period. It is a very hard subject which I have the tendency to put off and not deal with it. I don't know if this is a technique that I have used to overcome it, but what I have learned is that I basically need to practice practice and practice. I have learned to quit putting it off (most of the time) and just learn it and practice. I have a B in intermediate algebra to prove it and it is a college class.
