pretty difficult but you gotta find the spark that's not kindled yet. does she understand the purpose/importance of math in her present life or future career? maybe asking her to read bibliographies and getting her to choose one of the great leaders/inventors as a model to follow could help her...
i myself am having difficulty having interest in my life... seems like not much purpose to me... :S especially today i'm feeling extra down about life and the purpose of living...

Practice -- find fun activities to work the skills of math in. For example, if you are weak in the basic skills, take along on your next grocery shopping trip a pad, pencil, paper, and even a cheap calculator -- and write down as you go through the store the prices of the items you are purchasing. Then compare that to the shopping list from the register -- observe which items are taxed, and at what rate. Use this pad and pencil notes to check the receipt BEFORE you leave its parking lot -- and I can assure you that if you do this -- you will most likely find ERRORS -- especially at Wal-Mart and other discounters -- which actually saves you money and practices skills.
There are also many available skills builders workbooks available from bookstores and even in discount stores -- look in the school supplies sections (or education sections). Pick these workbooks up -- they do have good ideas for activities to build your skills.
For most people though -- the skills build when they find everyday errors in their purchasing habits, the change they are receiving from the stores, etc.

Tell her the importance of mathematics in life. She is not showing interests towards mathematics because she is not understanding mathematics properly. Give her tuition's on it. Make her understand the things which she cannot understand. Make her practise & practise till she becomes totally perfect in it.
