I like Mariana, Alan, Yiru, and Rebecca's suggestion to slow down the pace and reduce the number of topics to address math anxiety.
It makes me wonder, if so many students struggle with math in high school, it might be more beneficial to learn fewer topics over the same period of time so that students have plenty time to process and reflect on their learning. I also wonder if there is a reason why teachers are required to teach a set number of topics squished into one year when clearly, it might not be moving at an appropriate pace for students. For students who are needing a challenge, schools can offer advanced classes to support them.
