I am not doing well in math and want to. I don't find interest in it and find myself drifting off alot. I want to do better but cant concentrate about it. Is there something I can do or a technique or something to think in my mind that will make me do better. Thanks.

I totally understand your problem, but don't worry, there are many varieties of help out there that may suit you. Some include:
1. Private tutoring: there are many tutors availible on the internet, in the classifieds section of the newspaper, etc. Just be sure you find a knowledgable, patient, reasonably-priced tutor. The 1-on-1 attention could make all the difference for you!
2. Remedial help centre-type institutions: There are many places out there, such as Kumon or Sylvan, which can provide help and extra review in either a 1-on-1 or group environment. Lots of commercials on television, in newspapers, etc: ask your school's math teacher to refer you to a quality learning centre.
3. If you are a DIY type of guy, you may want to consider buying (or loaning from the library) math curriculum review books. This is something I, as a tenth-grade student, sometimes do, myself: I find the lesson plans for the curriculum in my area, and follow through the examples provided in the book. Usually, the examples are very informative, clear and consise. It is an economical way to teach yourself!
Good luck with your math! Remember, everything is about perspective. Some things aren't as hard as you can complicate them to be in your own mind; look at problems patiently and objectively. Most of all, never give up!

I'm dyslexic with numbers, so I always ended up having a big problem doing math. And as a consequence I -hate- math with a passion. But my dad taught me to think of it as a puzzle I need to figure out, and that used to help me out a lot.
Also don't let yourself drift off, keep your eyes up on the teacher and make sure that you understand how to do the homework that is about to be handed out. And then when you get home do your math homework first. That's how I passed my math class as the best student in the class and still dyslexic :)

from a retired middle school teacher:
Find a tutor. Paying for teaching is a great motivator to learn. Also your tutor can improve your math skills quickly, so once you improve you will enjoy math more...get motivated!!

Pick a good teacher. Once I started getting math teachers that I liked, I started liking math more.
