Everyone believes they are bad at maths, so they are. It applies just as much to the UK. My youngest believes this strongly, yet when we were quizzing, or helping with homework, she didn't seem to find it too hard, just believed it so. She certainly didn't get those beliefs from home!
Looking at my kids maths lessons, especially in late Junior, so much effort was spent to actually hide the maths that I wonder they learnt anything!
- matthewhall 10y agoI love math and I think I'm pretty good at it
- anexprogrammer 10y agoOK, not everyone, but it seems to be the subject that people are most likely to claim to be terrible at. Schools don't help by sucking all the fun out of it. Was always my favourite subject, but that was despite school rather than because of.
- Frogolocalypse 10y ago> Everyone believes they are bad at maths, so they are. Everyone? I love math.
- dagw 10y agoI love math too. Even have a Masters in it. Still wouldn't say I'm particularly good at it, certainly not as good as many of my classmates.
