Both time management ability and emotional support act as mediators in the relationship between math learning anxiety and academic performance. These results highlight the need to reduce anxiety, develop time management skills, and build emotional support to improve students' academic performance. The study provides actionable insights for educators, parents, and policymakers in providing a supportive educational environment that ensures holistic student development.
