In recent years, we have seen the continuous and rapid increase of job openings in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM)-related fields. Unfortunately, these positions are not met with an equal number of workers ready to fill them. Efforts are being made to find durable solutions for this phenomena, and they start by encouraging young…

The study investigated the relationship between math anxiety in parents and teachers and math anxiety and math achievement in first- to third-grade children.
