why students hate mathematics?

Answer 1

They hate concentrating and can't sit still for more than 10 seconds.

Answer 2

Students hate math for several easons including:- early grade math teachers often fail to make the learning relevant to K-6 students, therefore students do not know why they are being taught the content, and math is either right or wrong and so there is no room to eloquently pad an answer and gain bonus points for opinion

Answer 3

math is based largely in part on perception. math has 2 basic types, the visual and the perceptual.

Visual maths are geometry and trig (and the like)
but algebra is mostly perceptual.

at the time most students are taught to learn by and believe what they can see and tangibly perceive, math is telling students to think perceptually and not depend on what actually exists. This is frustration for most students and they either give up or say that they "hate math"

Once students begin to understand the concept of perceiving what actually isn't there, schools throw geometry, a very visual math, at them. This makes them need to back track and forget about non-visual perception, causing more frustration.

once done with geometry, it's time for algebra again, meaning back to non-visual perception. and after that it's trig which is visual

students don't particularly hate math, it is just difficult because just as one idea is learned, it is ignored it the next concept. this causes frustration and causes most students to simply give up.

Answer 4

Basically because most have to work at it, study it. Actually go to classes and pay attention! At least in my experience that is why most people hate it. For me it is one of the few things that comes naturally to me so I don't really have to do the above, maybe thats why I enjoy it? I enjoy problem solving too :)
In a lot of other subjects you can not go to classes, not read the books, turn up to the exam and just bluff your way through it, not in maths!
Also when you are learning something new it can be that you just can't do it for ages, then you suddenly get a breakthrough and it becomes simple. It is very frustrating and doesn't happen in many other subjects. [edit:: can be frustrating! I love it when you "get" something you've been puzzling over for a while! Makes it all worthwhile].

Answer 5

Students are forced to hate mathematics.. the way it was taught, made them to hate it rather than its being mathematics.
Teacher should use really time example to teach mathematics to students and make them to love the subject form the childhood but they don't do so...
That why they hate it..

Answer 6

i think that students love only the things that they can understand.
mathematics are not dificalt but most of the teachers pay no atencion if all of their students understand themis like a chain . .
on the other hand maths are like a chain or a scale. you can not
achivie the top step if you miss one in the middle of the scale.
students think that they can lern somethink if they just read it. in maths you learn now things only if you know all the previous...thats the difficulty of the maths. if someone face all these dificulties then maths are a nice game.
lets play then!

Answer 7

I've tutored math for many years, here's what I find:

1. they have a poor teacher
2. they have a poor textbook
3. the students have limited time so chose their favorite clases first, making math more dificult when rushed
4. they have an "art" brain which is quite different than a "math" brain.

That said, ANYONE can learn math quickly with the right teacher.

Answer 8

Many of them are probably intimidated by math or they don't want to concentrate on how to solve the math problem.

Answer 9

because math takes alot of thinking.

Answer 10

The numbers don't add up.
