Marie is but one of the students who
are getting hard up in Math and depend on tutorials to catch up with lessons.
Every week, Marie attends a two-hour session with a paid tutor to make all
Mathematical things clear.
In reality, Math is one of the
toughest subjects to teach. Many students are not into calculating number,
solving problems, memorizing formula and counting. Although interest in Math
may be selective, it is still mandated in any country to teach basic Math to
every student.
One of the strategies that would
help a teacher in teaching Math is the use of day-to-day activities to
illustrate how every formula, every process, every calculation is used. As
other experts see it, education should provide something that a student could
use in his current life. Thus, it would be best if a teacher always relates
lessons to the students’ interaction and activities.
