Mathematics anxiety has been found to negatively impact students academic performance, and the trend is pervasive in our society. The purpose of this study was to determine whether math anxiety will predict students choice of subject. A total of one hundred and sixty-six junior secondary school students participated in the study. The Maths Anxiety Scale (MAS) was used to measure the respondents level of math anxiety. Their subject choice was indicated in the demographic section. The linear regression analysis conducted on the data revealed that math anxiety positively and statistically predicted students choice of subject. The findings and practical implications of the study are discussed.

Mathematical communication skills of junior secondary school students in coastal area are still considered low due to the lack of contextual problem technique in the teaching of mathematics. The various potencies of the coastal area have been damaged without any concern. It is interesting to investigate the contextual problem in mathematics teaching because it can be identified, required, and related to everyday life. The objective of this study is to enhance mathematical communication skills of junior secondary school students in the coastal area. Using coastal-based contextual teaching and learning (CCTL) can enhance: (1) students’ mathematical communication skills better than conventional teaching and learning (CVTL); and (2) the students’ learning activity, fluency of argument in problem solving process, advanced question skills, and knowledge of coastal area potencies and problems.
