Treating Mathematics Anxiety is Dr. Nagrath's second book after his initial Amazon Best Seller, "Rethinking Math Learning." In Treating Mathematics Inclusive Strategies for Working with Students Exhibiting Mathematics Anxiety, Dr. Nagrath introduces the underlying belief system that is causing mathematics anxiety along with strategies and frameworks that can be used by any district, school, teacher, parent, or student.
More a treatise in their program, which I am sure is vey good, it did include ideas on underlying factors that contribute to student failures in testing. Students need more foundational work, but when they get to high school and getting poor or failing grades they just give up, unless you really work to find the gaps and fill them in with the missing knowledge. And then there is the test anxiety itself, which this book somewhat addresses and needs to be a focus to help students control their reactions and fear and confidently go into testing.
The author has presented some interesting strategies to help students and parents counter math anxiety. He does promote his creation Elephant Learning Mathematics Academy and discusses why the program works.
