Math phobia...?

Question

I never liked maths and everything that had numbers...from the begging of my educational life at school.

Some people tell me that one reason was that some kids haven't complete perfectly that part of their brain by the time they start dealing with maths... (i started school at 6 years old) and that's a bad start..

Now (I am 25) when i have to do with numbers and math operations i have some kind of phobia... i wouldn't and can't work as cashier never.. !

i feel I'll never be able to "accept" them...

what is your opinion...can you give me some help or advice?

thanks

Answer 1

I was once a person like you. I HATED maths to core! I keep failing and failing in my secondary education. I cant even

do basic algebra, graph, simple interest, vectors.. etc.

Hence, i give up and just lie down sleeping on the table wehn maths lesson began. At a point of time, i even went to the staircase and cry out loud.

Then , eventually, i sorted things out. i started doing simple maths ( addition and subtraction). I figured out that this CANNOT continue and i must do something about it. I went home and do my maths 3 times a week. I start off with the fundamental one, then the harder one by MYSELF( i asked my friend, all give me complicated answer...) It really helped!

From a F9 ( the lowest grade ), i got myself a B3!!!

The bottomline is , stop whining. Do something about it now.

A good way is to budget yourself to spend 5 dollars on a simple meal.

It will be HARD initially BUT u can do it one! Just do a simple calculation for the food and beverages that you will most likely to spend on your meal.

Answer 2

i started school at 4 years old and i never hated math. actually, it's my favorite subject since high school. i think you should collect money, count them everyday, and budget. this way, you'll not hate math. i hope this helps :)
