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!)
I think that a lot of students tend to not like math because they are afraid of failing. As a future teacher, I think you should make sure your students know that it is okay to fail. Students think that they are not a "math person" because they were failing, but in all reality failing is just a sign of learning. I also think that you should stress to students that the how you find the answer is more important than the answer at all. |

Comments: I agree. My math teacher in my last two years of high school constantly reminded us that we came to school to learn rather than get good grades. |

Comments: It is important to show students that it is ok to fail and there is no such thing as a “math person”. But there also needs to be a next step, so they don’t literally fail tests |

Comments: Yes! Failure/mistakes is/are the road to success, not the end product. I've heard that so much over the course of getting my education degree, it's become kind of a motto. |

Comments: This is not what I would do in this situation. I understand what they are trying to say, but I don't think this is the best way to approach this scenario. |
