Understanding mathematics anxiety: investigating the experiences of UK primary and secondary school students
The project investigated individuals' attitudes towards mathematics because of what could
be referred to as a “mathematics crisis” in the UK. Evidence suggests that functional literacy
skills amongst working-age adults are steadily increasing but the proportion of adults with
functional maths skills equivalent to a GCSE grade C has dropped from 26% in 2003 to only
22% in 2011 (National Numeracy, 2014). This number is strikingly low compared with the
57% who achieved the equivalent in functional literacy skills (National Numeracy, 2014).

Abstract
The project investigated individuals’ attitudes towards mathematics because of what could be referred to as a “mathematics crisis” in the UK. Evidence suggests that functional literacy skills amongst working-age adults are steadily increasing but the proportion of adults with functional maths skills equivalent to a GCSE grade C has dropped from 26% in 2003 to only 22% in 2011 (National Numeracy, 2014). This number is strikingly low compared with the 57% who achieved the equivalent in functional literacy skills (National Numeracy, 2014).
