What can I do if I hate math?

Convince yourself that math isn't that bad.  If you put a mental block up (like saying you hate math) you'll never get through it.  I am not great at math (I struggle to balance my checkbook) but I break out the calculator and tell myself its not that bad, I can deal with it.  I'm smart and I can handle this.  You don't have to be an accountant to handle math, but you do have to constantly tell yourself that math is not hard.  It doesn't have to be something you look forward to doing, but it is something you have to do.  The sooner you come to grips with this, the better off you'll be.

It's a real "use-it-or-lose-it" skill, but most people find that their major problem in mathematics is a poor understanding of the basic ideas. And I do mean basic! Math is a harsh mistress, and those small 'easy' mistakes often trip people over more than larger problems! So take a crack at any problem areas you KNOW you have and stuff, stuff, stuff your brains with it!

I had friends who sucked at maths.So far I met 4/5 people who advised us to do the same thing.In maths what you do is that as soon as your taught something new,be sure you understand whats going on,how to do the sum etc.if you still dont know how to do it ,then ask the teacher or anyone who knows how to do the sum.ask them how to do it until your familiar with the procedure.then practice one or two pages.if you forget it then ask again and again till you understand it and go on practising it,even if you have gone to the next topic.\nFor french,see if someone knows how to speak french and speak as much french as posible to that person-you'll learn you're vocab that way.or you could read french story books.I know the verbs are difficult but i guess you have to byheart them\nIf you did'nt understand then mail me what you did'nt understand and i'll explain it better.

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...

I don't think you can teach someone to love math. They either do, or they don't. The best you can do is try and make it fun by relating it to everyday things and try and make it easy, taking it step by step.\nTake it easy for both of you though. Don't shove all this math in her face and also, don't let it take over your life. Balance is the key.

It is a hard subject for some people. The thing that seems so unfair when you are a young student like you and have to take math, and don't "get" it, is that for other kids, it just comes so easily.\n\nHere's an idea for right now: take a mental step back away from math for a moment and think about a subject that you are better at or that you maybe even like, or that just comes a little easier to you.  I know there must be one because you sound like an articulate person with the ability to know your feelings and you really do express yourself vividly.  I wouldn't be surprised to hear that you are pretty good at English or Literature, Drama or Art.  Well, if that is true, be glad for it, because believe it or not, there are some people out there who can't string two words together in a row to save their lives, and/or who hate to read and write. They hate that stuff as much as you hate math, but it is worse for them because YOU can learn to do math, but it is very nearly impossible to learn to be and think creatively and artistically.\n\nThere, end of pep talk. Now for some practical advice:  you need to get some tutoring FAST.  At every school, public and private, there are several ways to get the help you need to pass math so you don't have to repeat that class. Most teachers have scheduled times every week when they are available to tutor so look into that immediately. Also--go to your guidance counselor and find the name or names of honors students who volunteer to tutor.  Call those kids and make use of their superior math skills, it is good for you and good for them.  Finally, every school has a list of people who will tutor for an hourly fee. Usually, a few times with these (often former teachers) is enough.\n\nYou really need to do this. Being frustrated just shuts the brain down, plus makes your fear of math worse. It is a vicious circle. You know very well that math is a necessity in this life, you just needed to vent.  Ok, you vented, so now knuckle down, get through these classes, pass and say good-bye to the subject forever.\n\nAnd watch "Numb3rs" on Fridays, where math seems geekily sexy and fun.

Get together with your friends and work on your homework together. A lot of times one of your friends may be able to explain it better than the teacher. Misery loves company !and that way you and your friends can spend the time together and fuss about the things you don't like about math.Just make sure that you do get the math done.

As a math graduate from UNiversity, I can say that it won't matter how much you practice, if you keep having that fear of math. Many people have irrational fear of math - they shouldn't have it!\nSo the first step is to stop having rhat fear - math (depending on the level you study, of course) - is not so hard - and if you feel confident when you are dealing with it it would be much easier. \nOnce you stop having that fear - start to pracice, as someone else allreay told you...

So you don't want anything that involves math!!!...\n\nYou want to be a writer...\n\nSupposing you are now a good writer, and you are about to publish your first novel...Supposing each book costs $2 to print and you want to print 10,000 copies in your first printing. You will break even as soon as you have sold 3,000 copies. How much must each book be priced? Will you say, "I don't care! I hate math!! I will always make money with whatever price it will be sold!!" Do you think that you will make money that way?...\n\nWill you be like a child who will prefer a heavier but lesser value coin over a larger value paper bill...just because you hate math?\n\nWill it be all right with you if people will say you are dumb because you cannnot distinguish one number from another because you HATE MATH? Etc, etc, etc!!!\n\nAre you an adult? How old are you?..."Mmmmm...I am taller than you. I must be an adult."...\n\nWhat time is it now? "Aaaaah...the minute hand points up and the hour hand points down. It must be sundown!!!"\n\nWill you answer questions like that?\n\nDo you still prefer not to learn math? Well...

maybe you could try practising. For maths, the phrase practice makes perfect is very true. hmm...short cuts in multiplication and division...maybe you could try learning the abaccus (a mathematical instrument used by the chinese => functions like a calculator, but manually powered, no batteries)...I only know how to add and subtract using it...

just practice by doing more math problems\n\nThe more you practice, the more you'll get the hang of it.
