Most people just don't like math. It's not their favorite sujbect; it's not in their top five favorite subjects. What has created this almost universal cynicism toward this helpful and applicable class? One reason might be that some students are not visual learners and there are very few ways to teach math other than visually. Other reasons might include bad teaching and uninteresting teachers. It is easy for one bad memory in math class to ruin a child's mathematical life. Yet another reason could be that students don't find math applicable to their everyday lives. They find it hard to relate to anything around them, despite the fact that math is involved in everything around them. If these issues can be addressed, perhaps math will become more enjoyable to more students.
