Arem's CONQUERING MATH ANXIETY is a comprehensive workbook that provides a variety of exercises and worksheets along with detailed explanations of methods to help "math-anxious" students deal with and overcome math fears. The author offers tips on specific strategies, as well as relaxation exercises. The book's major focus is to encourage students to take action. Expertly constructed hands-on activities help readers explore both the underlying causes of their problem and viable solutions. Many activities are followed by illustrated examples completed by other students. This edition now comes with a "free" relaxation CD-ROM, and a detailed list of Internet Resources.

"Three features that I especially like are: 1) the exercises that help students identify learning styles, 2) the suggestions for improving classroom performance, and 3) the study checklist to be used before taking a test. Overall, I like the positive approach the book takes." "I like the exercises. I feel that they lead the students to discover their deep-seated thoughts and anxieties and can be very beneficial for recovering from math anxiety. The case studies model different situations and the exercises serve as a sort of path for students to follow in order to discover their own situations and solutions to their anxieties. Overall, I like everything about the book. Students are constantly reminded that they have worth and that they can do math."
