Sections in the report include: (1) a summary of research on math anxiety, including categorized recommendations for overcoming the problem; (2) statistics from Homestead High School's second semester in the 1979-80 school year; (3) reference materials related to mathematics anxiety available in the district's curriculum library; (4) a list of mathematics centers and resource people contacted by the project; (5) sample student activities aimed at career education, with problems geared to particular careers and career profiles; (6) a description of a videotape series developed to provide accurate information about women and mathematics; and (7) a selected bibliography.
