as a math teacher, math tutor and math professional, ill just say one thing, i came really close to failing math in 9th grade!
there are many awful math teachers out there, and i completely believe that students don’t do well because they are not taught well.
almost every student can master math concepts if they are taught- in english- what they are doing when they are solving a math problem. not just what the formula is, but what are u actually doing?? and what will you come out with and know after you get the answer??
if you understand what you’re doing, it all becomes clear and makes sense. and in that case, all the haze and confusion of math vanishes…….
