30 Percent of Students Report Having Math Anxiety<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a030 percent of students report having math anxiety.<\/strong> We believe those statistics may be even higher considering most that struggle with math avoid it like the plaque. Therefore the percentages likely are a much higher percentage rate.<\/p>\n

“When you\u2019re building a house, you would never think of trying to put up the second floor before the first floor. Building is a sequential process. The same is true in math, each concept builds on the ones that came before. In history, you can understand the Depression pretty well even if you didn\u2019t study World War I. But in math it\u2019s different, you need to understand factoring very well or you won\u2019t be able to solve equations.<\/p>\n

This means that if you\u2019re strapped for time, the one course that\u2019s most dangerous to let slide is your math course. With other courses, if you don\u2019t understand day 11 you can probably follow the lecture on day 12. With math, you have to understand day 11 or you\u2019ll likely be lost in day 12. Construction Math<\/a> is no different.<\/p>\n

The moral is that you need to stay current<\/strong>. If ever you don\u2019t understand something, get help on it right away. Otherwise you\u2019ve just knocked away the first floor of your house, and you know what that will do when you try to put up the second floor.\u00a0” \u00a0[Stan\u00a0Brown, Oak\u00a0Road\u00a0Systems]<\/strong><\/p>\n
