  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!)
A lot of students have an aversion to math. When math gets hard they often get discouraged and start to think they are incapable of learning math. As a math teacher, it's very important to teach your students about a growth mindset. Anyone is capable of learning math as long as you believe in your abilities. Constantly assuring students that they all can learn math if they believe that they can can help them enjoy math more.

Comments: I agree that adapting and incorporating a growth mindset in your math lessons will help change the mindsets of the students. Math can be fun for anyone if presented if presented in the right way, even for those students that claim they just don't understand it.
