@maria: Thanks for the kind words. Sorry to hear about the test anxiety! My friend Scott Young (http://www.scotthyoung.com/) has a lot more on study tips that you might find useful.

I think part of getting over the anxiety may be realizing a quiz is a way to show what you know (it’s like a checkup to find problems, vs. a “punishment”). I.e., see the quiz as a chance to fill in gaps in whatever you know — if you miss some questions, it’s something you know you can fix later on. I realize this can be tough though — as you practice more math, it should get easier .

thank you kalid, you are a sample of the person who really helps students to understand mathematics. Math. is the only subject that prevents me from getting the first place in my class. it’s so because i feel extremely scared before any math quiz.Can u help me know the cause of this hyper-test anxiety?(P.s.:i used to have A’s in math 2 years ago, but after my teacher became a very old teacher, this problem affected me very much).
thank u sooo much, maria.

@Egbujuonuma: Thanks for the comment! I don’t have an ebook for that age range yet, but these articles might be good for 10-12 year olds:

I appreciate your contribution towards making the learning of
mathematics easy. Do you have materials that is beneficial for children age-
3-12 years.
