	Description:		New research shows some primary school teachers are suffering from anxiety because they have to teach maths. The study comes from a Te Pukenga lecturer’s doctoral thesis, which followed the lives of 12 primary teacher participants who are self-reported maths anxious. Responses to maths anxiety were wide-ranging and included thought, physical, emotional, and neural reactions. Researcher Julie Whyte says some of the teachers even modified their teaching patterns to skip maths class. The subjects of the study were also reported to not have confidence in their own mathematical skills. "The participants have a low belief or self-efficacy around mathematics, and they also have a low teacher efficacy or belief in their own teaching of mathematics."
