Mathematics

Friday, October 17th, 2008

Maths has always been my problem area, I have always shredded it. Though I was very good in all subjects but in maths,I was an average student. Solving numeric problems have always been a nightmare for me. But now I realize that it is not all that difficult . if you have the right approach then it can become the easiest subject. Actually in my school days our maths teacher was a terror for students, he never used to explain properly and wanted us to know every thing on our own. Those who took coaching faired well, but people like me who did every thing on their own could never get things right since the concepts were not clear to us. As a result, I started disliking the subject and tried to find ways of escaping it. But later now I realized that it is very important to have sound knowledge of this particular subject, no matter how good you are in other subjects but maths is one thing which has much relevance in our daily lives. If I would have got a better guidance at the initial stage then things would have been different. Here I would like to stress that it is the responsibility of the teachers to make sure that they teach the concepts and should make sure that all the students grasp it. They should motivate kids and not discourage them.
