After conducting the experiment, the researcher applied a posttest on both groups. The finding of the study was that the students of the experimental group were found to have low mathematical anxiety than the students of the control group. The students of the experimental group of high Socio - Economic - Status (S. E. S.) were found low mathematical anxiety than the students of the control group of high Socio - Economic - Status (S. E. S.). The students of the experimental group of low Socio - Economic - Status (S. E. S.) were found to have low mathematical anxiety than the students of the control group of low Socio - Economic - Status (S. E. S.). The female students of the experimental group were found to have low mathematical anxiety than the female students of the control group. The male students of the experimental group were found to be low mathematical anxiety than the male students of the control group.
