A. You are not bad at math. Perhaps you are not comfortable enough with it. The best, and really only, remedy is to practise, and practise more, and when you get it *continue* practising so you remember it forever and you don't have to relearn it. The best way to avoid math-panic is by gaining an intuitive feel for it. Math has a subtle beauty which is not well communicated. It must be discovered. For me, this came when I learned the basics of calculus. You are right on the money about the importance of math in your veterinary career. Keep that in mind when you feel discouraged. Knowing things matter really motivates learning. Drop me a line if you like. Perhaps I can help you with some sticky issue. Good luck.

A. I really did not like Math until I had a tutor, that explained everything again. What I realized then was we were just going over the examples in the book. How simple is that. So I figured I could do that by myself...and check the answers in the back of the book to make sure I did it correct. So 1. Do the example. 2. Check the answers in the back of the book (usually the odd ones). **Most Important** practice practice practice have scratch paper around practice redoing the problems over and over again until you are comfortable Do your homework. Be prepared, get enough sleep. don't procrastinate, ask questions if you are not sure, take a deep breath before a test. Good Luck! :)

A. Math "anxiety" could be prevented by taking a different approach to teaching math. If a student doesn't understand an equation, another equation isn't going to help the student understand! Teachers should try teaching math by using words more and numbers less. If a student doesn't understand the concept of an equation, they are not going to be able to solve the equation. Also, drilling--lots of practice makes a person comfortable with math. Confidence is the key to success.

Math: Math Anxiety? Who has it? How do you deal with it?
Q. Ok, I again started to have math anxiety way before I even start the semester (it starts on August and I don't know why Im getting these anxiety attacks) and want to know if anyone else has had this problem.

I don't want to deal with special ed versions of math anymore, I just want to face the challenge right then and there. Anyone been through this? Please help!

Math anxiety. Can you help?
Q. I'm taking a developmental algebra class in college right now and for the first time in my life I'm developing math anxiety. It's not only with tests either. I get anxious and freeze up if someone who is trying to help me, asks me a question like ok, what is the next step? Or, what happens when you do this or that? It doesn't who it is either. At first the panic only came with the instructor, then it started coming on with the tutor. Now it's so bad, I don't even want to ask my husband for help. I can't even do math if he's standing near me or watching me. I feel hopeless right now. I'm not normally the anxious type. This feeling is foreign to me. Please, give me some encouragement.

A. Relax. Since the class is online that means you can be in an environment that you choose. So find a place with minimal distractions, this could be your home, the library, a bookstore, or wherever you choose. I have math anxiety too but I control it so that it doesn't control me. When you do assignments don't think about your past math experiences because that is what is holding you back. Just focus on the assignment that you're doing. Obviously you can do it because you've completed all of your other classes, so that must mean your pretty smart. Stay positive and study and pray and don't worry about it!

A. Math was my favorite subject in school. But, with any subject, I listened to the teacher. I took the teacher at his word. If I got an answer wrong on a test that he told us was right, I questioned him on front of the whole class. I rarely took notes because I paid so close attention to what was said by the teacher. I always tried to finish homework in school and almost never took a book home. But, just because that worked for me doesn't mean it will work for anyone else. I only received an honorable mention when I graduated. Perhaps I would have received honors if I had taken a book home more oftern and studied.

How to raise my SAT math score and avoid anxiety?
Q.

I'm looking at a college with rigorous maths courses and they won't accept anyone without a good score. Do you have any suggestion for raising my Math score? I'm a pretty good math student in general and I know all the general strategies for the SAT, so I would appreciate some particular formulas or strategies. Also, how should I reduce test anxiety? I tend to get nervous, especially when I'm not sitting at my own desk at home. I know this from taking the PSAT. Ouch.

How can i overcome my anxiety towards math?
Q. ever since i can remember in third grade..i was really shy,and quiet...i struggled with math for some reason. What's worst is that when i was in class(third grade) i had a teacher who would ask me what was the answer of a problem ..i didn't know so he would say..ok well we will wait all day until Cynthia figures out the answer..so i would cry for a while...and then i would figure it out..which would be the wrong answer. I am good at everything else except for math. why am i so dumb with math?!?!

Does anyone else have really bad trouble with math?
Q. I'm about to take a math placement test at my community college and I'm scared to death, because if I mess it up I will have to take remedeal courses for no credit that will delay my graduation. I've already taken most of my other subjects. I've always had horrible experiences with math in high school, and I've put off taking the math placement test as long as possible. I also had to take reading and writing placement tests and I had no problem at all, in fact I placed in honors level English classes. But when I try to do algebra or geometry it's like there's a mental block. If someone sits with me they will have to explain it over and over again to me and then I will sort of understand, but as soon as I go home I forget it again. … [cont.]

A. First relax, take a deep breath and DON'T PANIC! If you're good at writing then you can be good at math. In fact I've taught people math who said they could never do math. I work for a casino and have to teach people to multiplied numbers in their head in less to two weeks. Now for your mental block, try this write little stories, make them easy to remember. Some like for division, When Mr. A is on top or Mrs. A then make 1 baby. that would be abc/ac = what? Mr. A is on top of Mrs A. so they make 1 abc/a = 1bc/1c or bc/c Same thing for c bc/c = 1b/1 or b Try it. It might help if it doesn't try something else. Hope it helps.
