  Case: Math Advice from Students Who Hate Math
I always wondered by students never liked math, they dread coming into the class or lesson. Is it because of the teacher and how they instruct the lesson or is it because math is hard? What are some tools/strategies/ even advice for a future math teacher to make the math lessons more appealing for my students?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
The more ways the teacher can present the information, the better. Students learn in many different ways and this suggests that a one size fits all will be inappropriate when instructing mathematics lessons. In addition to giving multiple means of presentation, the teacher should be giving the students multiple means of representation to express their understanding of the content.

Comments: I agree with this solution. Providing the student a variety of strategies to use when completing math problems will be beneficial because the student can choose which one they are more comfortable with. Giving multiple means of presentation is great too for not only math, but all subjects.
