Abstract
This study investigates the impact of affective interventions on geoscience students’ math affect. 83 students completed a pre-survey, received four affective and four math skills interventions, and completed a post-survey. Results show a significant change from pre- to posttest in math anxiety and math self-efficacy especially in female students.
