Different anxiety levels'family support had no difference .(3)different maths academic achievement students'anxiety level had obvious difference.high maths anxiety mainly distributed among the students with middle and low maths academic achievement,there was no high anxiety students in high maths academic achievement students.(4)math anxiety correlated negatively with maths self-efficacy, test anxiety,classroom anxiety and sentiment concern can predict maths self-efficacy. Classroom anxiety correlated negatively with family support, maths anxiety.The third study was a case study. choosed typical students and adopted qualitative method to interview in depth. The result showed that the appearance of maths academic emotion correlated with family educational ideology,family support and teaching style.
