math phobia

math phobia...

who has it, who needs help with it, what is it?!

math phobia is the fear of math, plan and simple.
someone who fears the numbers, thinks they will fail, and wont understand.

this is a really easy phobia to obtain and a very unnecessary phobia.

some one who has this phobia will most likely over think the problem and come to a halt in the solution it's self. someone with math phobia will most likely not understand the curiculum the first time. the mis understanding of numbers and steps to solve the problem.. it puts a major hurt on the students learning ablilty.

I dont have math phobia, i am not affected by it, my goal is to become a teacher, an elemantery teacher. there fore i can not have a fear of numbers or understanding. i needed to overcome this phobia to be able to understand the curiculum that i am supost to be able to teach to my future students.

my atvice to kids,students, anyone with math phobia.. i had it once when i was younger, i got over my fear. it's not that hard 2 understand math, just take a few deep breaths, listen clearly, and write down alot of notes, and if u still have problems, NEVER be afriad to ask for help. it never hurt and u never know, maybe someone else had the same question but was too shy 2 ask. lol

good luck =]
