6 REASONS WHY STUDENTS FAIL IN MATHEMATICS
2
INTRODUCTION
Math is the least understood academic subject
and is disliked by many students. Math often
draws national attention as it causes state and
national academic performance records to
decline. Students fail in maths for reasons
including low accountability, poor parental
monitoring, low reading skills and other
non-school events that diminish student
concentration. Math is either taught incorrectly
or students lack the motivation to understand it.

1. Attitude Towards Learning The Subject
The success and failure for a given thing
depends on the attitude that a person has about
it. The same applies in case of Math. If a
student dislikes the subject, to begin with,
then learning the same becomes difficult. This
attitude plays a crucial role here. If a student
thinks that he/she will not do well in the given
subject, he/she will develop a phobia for
it. Under such circumstance, a student loses
his/her interest in the subject

2. Method of Teaching
Maths may not be very easy for all of the
students to follow. Since it is very analytical
in nature, the concept behind it must be made
clear to the students. In that light, the
methods used to teach the subject plays a very
important role. It must be taught in a manner
which is easy to comprehend. The selected style
to teach the subject should make sense to the
children even after the class is over. If the
selected method is effective, the students will
be able to use their analytical skills to solve
tricky problems.

3. A Lack of Connection Between The Subject and
Students
This is one of the major reasons why so
many students perform so poorly the subject. The
lack of connection between the subject and the
students must be addressed if the latter aims to
be successful. When there is no connection,
students tend to get scared of the subject and
they start avoiding it. This leads to lack of
practice and results in failure.

Though peer pressure can be of merit in many
cases, when it comes to Math, peer pressure can
prove to be detrimental. It has been found that
due to peer pressure many students fail to
perform properly. In short, they are unable to
bear up with the pressure put on them at school.
4. Self Doubt
When this is coupled with constant comparison
with other students, self-doubt arises. And once
self-doubt sets in, the students ability to
perform effectively in Maths gets shattered.

5. Lack of Understanding About Signs and
Symbols
If a student is not very attentive in class,
getting the signs confused is quite common. If a
student fails to put the correct symbols after
solving a problem, his/her marks are likely to
get deducted

6. Many Mathematics Teachers are not well
versed In the Subject
Not many teachers can be effective in teaching.
The problem arises when there are many students
in a given class. Under such circumstance, Home
Tuition Services can be a good option. This way
students can get personalized help.
