Presentation may have been part of my problem. Now I hope to teach young children math in ways that are fun so they will get off to a better start than I did.

I researched Math Phobia and actually taught Math in college and actually wrote a text book in Math, which is used at various schools. Presention is everything, make the complex simple, not the simple complex!

But when introduced to your children in a way that makes sense to them makes me see it in a different way also.

I’m trying to educate my 3 year olds in a fun and supportive way so they learn and love math. Thanks for the insight!

Great Blog!! Reading your blog and reflecting upon my own math horrors in high school, they are really similar. I can remember tons of days where the waterworks were going because I just couldn’t seem to fully understand the concepts.Despite, I received a 21 in Math, the first time I took it! Needless to say, I’m able to go back and reflect upon my own math skills and can teach it to children. Of course I would be smart and stick with early math… Not high school! Great Job though and thanks for sharing!!!

I even used Pictographs of this student to keep focused!!!!! Could this student’s lack of comprehension stem from some other reason as to why he doesn’t “get it?” What if this child has hearing problems?
