Abstract
Studies such as the 2012 Programme for International Student Assessment(PISA) indicate that there are gender differences among students in measures of mathematics anxiety. In this paper we explore students’ mathematics anxiety levels and intentions to choose mathematics in Year 11 and to choose a career that includes an emphasis on mathematics. The data are examined to identify any differences across a sample of students in Years 5 to 8, with a focus on gender and year level.
