  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!)
In school I hated math because I just did not get it. I also hated my teachers for math. They never taught to my style. It was all lecture and notes. It wasn't until I had to teach it that I got it. I realized why students struggle because I struggled the same. I found that also purposefully making minor mistakes with rewards for catching them or having a secret password/codeword that allows for celebration when it is said can make a "boring" and unpopular course a little more fun.
