Why Do Most Kids Hate Mathematics? By Chris Onyishi
see loyamilk promo
Most kids who fear mathematics do so for so many reasons amongst which are:
a) Ignorance
b) Hatred
c) Laziness
But the truth is that any rational thinker is a good mathematician and any good mathematician is a rational thinker.
The above statement is represented in mathematics as corollary or inverse and these are terms we use casually on daily basis. That we are casually being mathematicians on daily basis is what it turns out to be.
If the reasons I gave above for people hating mathematics is true, then mathematically you say that my list is a SET of why people fear mathematics. If there are other reasons, such as Lack of mathematical models, lack of mathematics teachers, etc then mathematically you say that the SET is a SUBSET of reasons; do not mind my interchange of “fear” and “hate”. You can bring the two SETs together into one bigger SET with a merger tool call UNION. But if there could be no other reasons people fear mathematics, then you express that mathematically by saying that the SET is a SUPERSET which means the SET has covered all possible reasons, at the time, that make people fear the subject mathematics.
