Mathematics anxiety tends to be intensely concentrated and clearly reflected mathematics content knowledge, while Mathematics teaching anxiety is based on the individual's ability to teach Mathematics. Teaching in the 21st-Century era required teachers to have TPACK. TPACK is a combination of technological, pedagogical, and content knowledge. TPACK effectively understands the structure, representation, and adaptation of a topic, problem and content adapted according to the technology and abilities of teachers and presented in teaching. This study aims to: 1) describe the aspects of teachers' anxiety; 2) picture the sub-construct of TPACK; and 3) describe the relationship between teachers’ anxiety and TPACK in Mathematics based on documents analysis. Studies assess that mathematics anxiety does not have a significant influence on the teachers' content knowledge. Also, mathematics teaching anxiety and pedagogical expertise have a meaningful relationship. Outstanding teaching can provide a good understanding of Mathematics with pedagogical knowledge. As well, a positive attitude towards TPACK is an indicator of knowledge that can influence mathematics anxiety. Teachers who demonstrate knowledge and a positive attitude towards mathematics will show better potential to hypotheses and build instructional design. It has a positive effect on teaching Mathematics.
