Abstract: This study aimed to examine the problem-solving abilities and anxiety influence the mathematical resilience of Grade 8 students at Apyao National High School during the academic year 2023-2024. The study focused on the problem-solving abilities and anxiety on students’ mathematical resiliency. The students’ problem-solving abilities were assessed using Polya’s problem-solving steps, such as understanding the problem, devising a plan, carrying out the plan, and looking back. It is important to note that the information gathered in this study are limited to this specific group of students. The study aimed to determine the relationship between problem-solving skills, anxiety, and mathematical resilience, which refers to the ability to persevere, adapt, and succeed in mathematical tasks despite challenges or setbacks. By examining the students’ self-perceived levels of mathematical anxiety and their problem-solving abilities, valuable insights were gained regarding the factors that contribute to mathematical resilience. However, generalizing these findings to other student populations or educational settings should be done cautiously due to the limited scope of the study.
