Richard Feynman won the Nobel in Physics and he kept asking himself how he should teach physics.\nAnyway, he did it extraordinarily, so I belive the answer is: just teach with passion. \n\nCheers for Feynman.

You have to meticulously do the following:\n1. Every day cover , at home, what has been taught yeterday and today, and read what is going to be covered tomorrow.\n2. Follow theoretical explanations in text books and solveall the illustrations and then exercise problems.\n3. keep solving similar problems at frequent intervals.

Apply math to real life.\nI remember when I was in high school and i thought that some of the aspects of math were useless and I would never use it.\nI was wrong, completely wrong.\nI have used ratios to determine how to increase machine production on a elemental scale.\nI use fractions and decimals to determine daily outputs and averages.\nI use percentages in calculating payrolls, have to pay those taxes.\n\nIhe list goes on and on, I use math everyday in one way or another.\n\nJust use daily activities to teach math and I wish my teachers would have taught math that way.

Trust me I used to find math very hard work but if you keep trying you'll train your brain to think differently. It's like training your body. It takes time but in the end you'll find the work much easier.\nMy advice is choose a topic like fractions and nail it by doing plenty of questions. Then choose another topic like algebra and nail that too with plenty of questions etc etc etc. Do it in your own time at home because school isn't for learning, it's for preventing naughty children from vandalising things during the day.

Do what my parents did.\n  Make a poster of a grid of all the times tables and hang it on the back of her bedroom door, or in plain view of her bed and tell her  to look at it every morning when she's getting dressed for school.\nThrow out  a random problem in conversation every once in a while.\nNo pressure or trauma - just a single question.\n  Make her go in her room and look it up if she doesn't know it.\nHave her repeat the whole problem as well.\n   The more she sees it, the more she'll ingest it and the less stress-free the interaction about it, the less likely she is to develop an mental block against math.

Here are a few tips:\nAlways keep the class lively by asking them questions related to the lesson and giving them related puzzles to solve.\nTry to interact more often rather than just explain every sentence in the textbook.\nImprove speech. Your voice and the way you talk could go a long way in your teaching carreer.\nIt's evident from the way you asked the question that your grammar could do with some improvement too. It'll help you explain any doubts the students might have about word problems.\nImprove patience level. Math is a subject which torments students and very often many students come to you with the same doubts. Don't snap at them. Patiently clear each and everyone's doubt.\n\nI hope these helped you. Have a successful teaching life!

The best way to study math and is to make sure you understand all the fundamentals. Relate them to things you already understand. \nDo lots of different types of problems to figure out what to don't understand.

talk to your math teachers, ask them what you don't understand so you can understand everything. so when they introduce a new concept, you can figure it out from prior knowledge.

speak to your math teacher and ask her/him to help you out in class, show them that your determined to learn and they should help you out. \nalso when your doing your math problems talk them out to yourself so that you can see where your going wrong and take your time doing the problems. \none trick i used to learn and kinda sad was to add up number plates on cars as they went past, and then multiply the number and then divide and just mess about with the numbers, its just so that you get good at problem solving, even if its simple problems like addition, subtraction.\n\nfinally, just keep on trying and tell your parents to help you so that they can see your efforts and praise you too and they will hopefully take some measures like tuition to help you if you need it.\n\ngood luck:)

Dear friend, I think your problem is either understanding or or basic mathematics ( some principles and rules ).\n\n"EVERY THING IS DIFFICULT BEFORE THEY ARE EASY"\n\nFirst understnd the peoblem and then think what are the next. Do everything effectively and efficiently. you ask your teacher once or twice or thrice or.... until you undertstood the problem. Understnding creates east of every thing. good luck...\n\n\n\n\n\nhttp://futureaccountant.com\n\nhttp://schoolingkids.com

first make sure you have the basic math skills down, then do problems...do problems and then do more problems...lots of practice can make anything easier...unfortunately there is no way to get around this...

Change your attitude and she will be able to change hers!  Maths is not just calculations, and chances are there are parts of it she could be very talented at.  The BBC website www.bbc.co.uk/schools has some great, entertaining maths activities.  I also strongly agree with 'escape' when she said try to make it real so it applies to life.  Get her involved with the grocery shopping to practice calculations, play games in the car about what shapes you can see in the clouds, if you're rearranging the furniture ask for her help in working out the area.  If maths is real, it's much more likely to be fun and less comlicated as it's no longer abstract.  Good luck!

I've taught maths to a child!\n\nIts easy.....maths comes in everywhere. From measuring to money todistance to time! Its harder to make up a story without using maths!

Cool question.  I would ask your teacher the same question.  Hopefully, they might be able to make some changes to make learning easier for you.  Having a good grounding in math is a very important building block for almost everything in life - especially when you learn geometry and algebra.  \n\nGood luck!
