Anxiety experienced by students in learning mathematics has the potential to cause depression conditions on the mathematics. Based on this, a chromotherapy treatment was used to reduce the anxiety of elementary school students to mathematics. Chromotherapy is a treatment designed with the foundation that any color contains healing energy. The effect of color affects the work of sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves and improves mood. Chromotherapy provides an element of relaxation, which from various studies found to reduce anxiety in individuals. This research uses single-subject design to five students of elementary school with high anxiety. The instruments used are observation, interview, DASS Inventory. The results show that chromotherapy provides relaxation and reduces anxiety among students. Instruments used Mini Mathematic Anxiety Scale (MMAS) and observation.
