A year ago, I got interested in maths. Now, I’m finally going back to school after years of not going to school. It’s been a month and so far I’ve been so stressed. And I’ve been doubting myself a lot. I remember thinking to myself “why am I so stupid?” or if I could even do this at all. I thought maybe I’m just lacking some sort of skill or some talent that others have. I don’t know what I’m doing but I’m trying to study and learn. Somedays I avoid everything and go to sleep because I’m afraid of failing or feeling dumb. I’m still trying though. Thank u for the wisdom.

What you are saying is very valuable cause I had weird teachers throughout my life and thought I wasn't good. My college courses in math and physics I left out until the last moment out of fear... then I ended up with such great teachers that explained things properly and applied universally, I was top of my class and regretted not getting such knowledge earlier. I would have pursued another career if I had these teachers earlier in life.

[@MCJSA]

My biggest problem learning mathematics is confidence. Math is about he only thing that makes me feel like this and I believe it's due to trauma from a math teacher in elementary school. I have avoided math for 50 years. I'm back doing it again because I'm very aware that not dealing with this problem has prevented me from doing a lot of things I really wanted to do but couldn't. Watch your kids. If you see them developing strong aversions to academic subjects deal with it early. It can impact their entire lives.

[@giaanne4699]

In high school right now and I feel this very strongly-just doing my homework makes me so upset and it’s not because I don’t care. Trying to confront it right now and hoping that I can one day help my kids with their homework. Your comment is so encouraging ❤

[@MCJSA]

@@giaanne4699 Math is the poster child for bad teaching - and it's not teachers' fault, not entirely. I'm an instructional designer and I've been working on a build for an Algebra 1 high school credit recovery course. The Common Core standards are whack and many of the problems in the standard texts are patently absurd. Recently, a teacher on the project told me, "Many topics in Algebra have no practical application. Dividing polynomials, for example....". Our premise in the course is to present Math as applied science. I said, "Well, it must be useful for something?" and... no response. If Americans are innumerate, it's largely because of bad math teaching and that teaching is bad because of politics. We should let teachers do their jobs and stop trying to micromanage their every move. If medicine were done like we do education, we'd all be dead.

[@baconman9418]

They are "fake" or rather, we have to believe in our own principles to follow them. That's usually the missing step, you have to choose to believe in the value of a set of boundaries while still knowing they're imperfect. Time helps, it shows you that your life is limited and it's better to use the time you have to work within a set of values and figure out how to refine them than wait for the perfect set of ideals.

A rhythm we get to step into 🎶 last semester I didn’t crush it bc my doubts of not being able to keep up and stay disciplined got in the way (along with other factors). I don’t believe in fake it ‘til you make it (annoying platitude for me) I believe in perseverance in spite of disabilities and lack of support…you know maybe you have discipline and you are being hard on yourself.

[@mryan4719]

2:59 absolutely. From a pedagogy pov, THE way to improve confidence is to improve real competence and a feeling of relatedness. One of the most important keys to that is reducing perceived emotional and social risk, which happens by breaking down the process into pieces small enough to master and by building a sense of relatedness to the content and the group. Plain language: a teacher's responsibility is to create a culture where students can start to feel in some way like "people who do maths" and to find ways to up- and down-scaffold skills so everyone can get it.

Self doubt is good, it make me go learn to become better. Too much is bad too, moderation is the key.

[@kdog3908]

I think this is my biggest problem. Even though it's a long time since being in high school, the frustration and despondency I felt doing maths means I still look at relatively straightforward maths problems like a rabbit in the headlights. Combine that with the careless errors common to someone with ADHD, relearning maths is proving to be quite gruelling. Although, to be fair to myself, progress is being made.

[@DiLLZGFX]

So I have an interesting take on self-doubt, I personally have had anxiety and also a lot of self-doubt during my time in education and In fact am currently still in education. One thing I realised is that sometimes anxiety or self-doubts act as a sixth sense or I guess a spidey sense. It's warning you that perhaps your strategy or your preparation isn't going to be enough to achieve a mark or score that you're aiming for, and for some situations you do need to get a specific score or a pass mark or something in order to move on to the next stage. So what I'd recommend is instead of doubting yourself, your abilities, your capabilities, doubt instead your strategy, your technique, your efforts, because then you can sit the exam knowing that it doesn't mean that I'm bad at math or I'm bad at this particular subject if you don't do well. It just means my preparation was not adequate and I need to go back to the drawing board and find a new strategy a new preparation and new trick that can help me move on to the next stage. The thing that was holding me back was not doing the work when I should have done, at the right age. So I went to a special school in the UK called a grammar school where you have to sit an exam at the age of 11. Only the top 120 kids in the area would be admitted into that school. I got in and I never really had to study for any exam up until year 8 or year 9 so I'd say about 14 years old. So at 15 years old I didn't know how to study I had to go back to square one. I remember reading a textbook and being stressed that the information wasn't staying in my head. I was taking notes and the information wasn't sticking in my head. Then I figured out how to best remember from books - which essentially is to read two pages, close the book, summarise it verbally and explain it as simply as possible. The only write down anything that I need to remember like tables or random values and create a cheat sheet and repeat that process again and again. But unfortunately this doesn't work once you do exams beyond the age of 16 years of age because you start doing standardised exams and the trick with standardised exams is you need to do past papers and this is something I figured out way too late. When I was doing my exams at 18 years of age I did all the past papers but what makes the top students separate from a good student is the intensity of those past papers. I did all the past papers once over but my friend did every past paper for the last 10 years three times and he scored nearly 100% and there are some things that comes up in exams that you're just not tauhht. There are some things that comes up in exams which teachers put inside because it differentiates students. So the way you overcome this is just by doing way, way( I can't emphasise this enough) way more papers than you actually think you need to do and this is a good trick for any exam once you're beyond the age of 14 years of age or 18. I hope that helps I wish I knew this earlier.
