Abstract
This study tested how state math anxiety, at two time points, and trait math anxiety each predicted elementary students' math problem performance using three measures: overall accuracy and accuracy on easy versus hard problems. Correlation and regression models revealed a significant negative relation between later state anxiety and accuracy only.
