Get over the Fear of Math in this Way!

Published by Budding Star
fear of math

Every year we celebrate National Mathematics Day on December 22. This day recalls us that the world is incomplete without numbers, as they play an important role in understanding the different concepts of the universe.  Mathematics is a web of decimals, fractions, and numbers, which usually make children curious when coming in long forms. Mathematics anxiety greatly affects youngsters, though they can’t ignore it as it is one of the primary subjects for students to understand.

According to recent studies, math anxiety is not new as it had begun from the time when children had jumped onto the fundamentals of mathematics. From then onwards, a set of experiences that students had got at that time, sowed the seeds of mathematics phobia in students. The main reasons responsible for this phobia are rote learning and standardized methods of teaching, which usually make maths boredom for students. Moreover, in a bid to follow the latest practices of teaching, tutors lose the sight of what is best for a child, leading to anxiety, stress, and fear of maths.

Every student has a different acquisition pattern, which needs to be understood not only by tutors but also by parents to generate a sense of interest in maths. Research reveals that most students are attracted towards conceptual, practical, and problem-solving parts of maths as they remain engaged in trying different formulas to come up with the right answer.

If you seek a bright future in maths for your little ones, you need to get an idea of the problems they face when solving problems. Have a conversation with your child and try to make them understand the scope of maths in varying fields.

What else can you do to tackle fear of math?

Walk through the following points to tackle fear of math completely.

Enhance the level of understanding to keep students are engaged:

A peer to peer discussion is key to enhance the interest in maths. Let students discuss what they feel about maths, how actively they take an interest in solving problems, and what prevents them from trying the questions again if not solved once. Try to step up from the traditional math classroom, where students sit quietly trying to grab the concepts, jotting down examples, and frequently switching from one question to another.

Stress-free learning:

Picturize maths as a set of ideas they can figure out in front of students. This will certainly improve their performance and grades while shrugging off fear completely. Psychologically, speed and time-pressure lower working memory, which further prevents students from using their capabilities. Strategic learning involves practicing various problems of a particular concept, which can help to clear basics and achieve superior performance, said Stanford expert Jo Boaler.

Hire a tutor who teaches realistically!

Teaching becomes interesting when a student understands and implements whatever he/she learns from the tutor. Though tutors are many, only some have the caliber of teaching. Make sure you find a tutor who understands your child terminology at the core and simplifies concepts for him/her by providing help tailored to the student.

Final words:

Math becomes interesting when you grab the ways to solve problems. Let your fear come out by understanding the twists in questions. Get in-touch with an experienced tutor who makes things easier, and defines the concepts in an explicit way. This way the fear of math will vanish away.
