One of the most dreaded
subjects in school is reportedly mathematics. Fear of numbers for some, is so
intense, that it seems hard for them to grasp concepts.
There are many reasons why
a child may struggle with the subject:
Difficulty in understanding
concepts and applying them, different learning style of the child, lack of
interest, difference in aptitude, frustration
associated with the outcomes of time spent on learning, faulty learning
pattern, learning difficulties that the child might have.
These issues can be tackled
through discussions more transparent interacting with child and scientific
approach towards the problem
Prepare your child
emotionally, If
you see your child feeling anxious or avoiding the subject, try and speak about
what they feel about it. Help them to overcome the challenges they feel.
Peer learning, Involve them in cooperative groups during which children will
act as a help to each other in solving a solution. Peer learning is very
effective and aids in boosting confidence.
Start from the basics: Start from the point where your child finds maths easy and
confident of getting it right; b uild up progressively from there
