It's Time to Break The Myth: Everyone Can Do Math!
In the West, we have been led to believe that some folks are naturally more adept at mathematics than others. However, this is only a misconception that is passed on from adults to children, and it is having a negative impact on learning opportunities.
Interestingly, this myth does not exist in Asian countries such as Japan and China. Thanks to this, these countries are now leading the way in math, as indicated by the OECD. At birth, all babies have a natural affinity for numbers, and they are always eager to learn more math. This is a wonderful opportunity for parents and teachers to foster and cultivate this enthusiasm.
Sadly, 4 in 10 people resent math and often this is due to a bad experience at school or hearing their parents say that no one in the family was good at math.
When a student fails to make progress in a math class, they can easily feel left behind and start to avoid math as much as possible.
Anyone can learn math, as it simply requires practice and training.
As a parent, it is important to have a positive attitude towards math and numbers and to spend time engaging with your child through math-related activities. It is not necessary to share any negative experiences you may have had with math as a child, but instead, approach it from a new perspective.
By teaching your child math in a fun and creative way, you can build their self-confidence and set them up for success in school and future job opportunities.
