Book excerpt: This study examines the relationship between the use of technology and the achievement of students, particularly those with mathematics anxiety. ... This fear of mathematics poses great challenges to teachers and students alike. How can high school math teachers help students manage this fear while teaching to a class of students with varied meeds and anxiety levels? This study piloted a computer program with a group of geometry students in a central Massachusetts high school. Half of the students used a computer program to supplement the curriculum, and the other half had no exposure to the program. The data indicates that the use of technology is useful in alleviating mathematics anxiety in high school geometry students.
