Mathematics fear

[tommy]

Most people fear Mathematics. The fear of Mathematics evolves from one person’s own motivation. Mathematics is like any other subject and one can deem it to be as easy as his or her favorite and easiest subject.

To be able to fully comprehend Math concepts, one has to be completely comfortable with the basic arithmetic. Before you understand multiplication for instance, you should be able to comfortably perform addition and subtraction. The major cause of Mathematics fear starts from here and has now grown into a very serious problem of the twenty first century where Math seems to be very hard even when there are very many modern machines that help in performing common arithmetic.

To be comfortable with mathematics, you also have to do a lot of practice. Mathematics cannot be read like a novel or a newspaper article. You should constantly practice it. You should do a minimum of six sums everyday. Try this and you will surely get good results. There are many ways to avoid Mathematics fear, this is just an insight.

Do you have any suggestions as to why people fear Mathematics?

Mathematics is very easy students should not fear from Mathematics.Important thing is that it fully depends on the concept so you should understand it from starting and then we can go the upper level if base is strong then we can go at a very high level.In Mathematics we left any one step then it will affect the whole solution.So students should not fear from Mathematics else start learning Mathematics from start and more the practice in Mathematics less the fear in the mind.

You are very right. Math should not be presumed to be a very hard subject.

failures should stop discouraging juniors that maths is a very hard subject forgetting that without maths you are doomed and no future ahead.really maths is not hard ,it is the easiest one.

Mathematics fear comes because of lack of seriousness. As a subject it needs more time of practice and self commitment. It all about understanding. Students do not spend much time in practice that is why its always difficult.

Maths is very easy subject but some students feel it difficult. I think, you also feel the Maths very easy but for that you have to take care of some technical things an you have to practice more.

Just because a student is told by other students who are ahead of him/her that math is difficult so he/she ends up perceiving it to be a difficult subject not knowing how easy it is. Math needs a good foundation. A student needs to practice it daily, challenge her or his mind by solving difficult math problems. Ask assistance from mathematics teachers, a friend etc or even go for math class tuition.
