It is a common feeling found in people of all ages. Math anxiety. People feel nervous and worried regarding math. They consider the subject to be a nightmare and will go out of their way to avoid it. Not enjoying math is so normal, that those who do are considered strange. Of all U.S.-American adults, 93% claim to have some form of math anxiety, and it is estimated that about 17% of the U.S.-American population have high levels of math anxiety (Luttenberg 2018). It becomes a strange occurrence when people are very casual about their math performance. Performance in other subjects is regarded as being serious, but a negative math performance is something that can be shrugged off, since it appears as if everyone is bad at math.
