Okay… now answer these questions.
• Will you get nervous before skydiving?
• If you don't skydive would you get nervous if you went up again to make a jump?“
Yes! That’s obvious,” you would say. Why? Because when you fear something and don’t face it, the fear prolongs until you give it a try. It’s the same with math. As long as you fear it, it will appear to be hard, tricky, complex and baffling.
It doesn't have to be that way!
The only way to remove your fear of math is training. That's right, training, the same way people train to drive, fly, sail, or skydive. People doing those things learn the principles one at a time, then practice until their reactions become natural, paying close attention to details. This is the same method needed to learn math. It requires repeated practice. Practice is the greater part of learning math and a great way to develop math skills.
How to turn yourself from,
“I hate math!” to,
“I love math!”
“Ugh! I hate math and I only do it because I have to.” Is this you? Well, most people who hated math actually started loving it after they realized what was really bothering them about math.
