The purpose of this study was to determine the level of math anxiety possessed by students based on their learning outcomes. This research is a descriptive qualitative research with 62 junior high school students representing each category of anxiety as subjects. Data collection techniques in this study include observation, questionnaires, interviews, and tests. The results of the study show that the math anxiety experienced by students in solving flat-sided geometrical problems consists of 4 levels of anxiety, namely the category of no anxiety as many as 8 students or 13%, the category of mild anxiety as many as 34 students or 55%, the category of moderate anxiety as many as 18 students or 29%, severe anxiety category as many as 2 students or 3%.
