The author has developed the Teacher's Mathematics Anxiety Rating Scale (TMARS) as a battery of test rating mathematics anxiety for preservise teachers. The TMARS consists of 16 Likert type items which has 3 dimensional factor structure. Validity and reliability of the TMARS are considerably high. The author has studied some researches with the TMARS and has found that a difference of mathematics anxiety scores in a sense of the TMARS between groups is not significant and that a score of female Ss is significantly higher than a score of male Ss, and the finding is consistent in results of some previous researches.
