Résumé

This study aims to investigate the emotional dimension of maths anxiety among children by exploring the perceptions of value and beliefs about maths held by Year 3 and Year 4 teachers at a primary school in Mexico City. These perceptions and beliefs can influence the presence of maths anxiety in their pupils during crucial years, as they lay the foundation for understanding key maths concepts used in later years. Four teachers participated in semi-structured interviews, providing insights into their perspectives on maths anxiety. Preliminary findings indicate two prevalent concerns from the teachers' viewpoints: children's lack of motivation to learn maths and their belief that maths is a difficult subject they cannot grasp. Despite the school's supportive environment, including socio-emotional support, economic resources, and maths learning facilities, negative attitudes towards maths persist.
