Introduction: Math anxiety is a common challenge for young students, often impairing learning and engagement. Tangible and extended reality (XR) technologies offer opportunities to make learning more interactive, collaborative, and less intimidating. Objective: This work proposes XR4Math, a low-cost tangible XR system designed to reduce math anxiety through personalized and engaging activities. Methodology: The system synthesizes principles from embodied cognition, collaboration, and multimodal design. Results: We demonstrate its potential through two proof-of-concept applications: ExpressionXR, a tangible game for solving arithmetic expressions, and PuzzleXR, a geometric construction puzzle.
