one A little girl, wearing a blue and white striped dress and red socks, is sitting at the back of a bus. She reaches out her hand and begins to count: "One two three four five six seven eight nine ten eleven twelve thirteen fourteen fifteen sixteen seventeen eighteen nineteen twenty twenty - one." The bus stops abruptly. The little girl's head bobs as she stares hard at the ground in front of her seat. "I'll show you something," she whispers, as she starts to do multiplication tables from memory. In mathematics, there are certain symbols that have been used for millennia now. The name of the Roman god "Numerus" is the root of the word "number", because it meant "ten". The word "Math" comes from the Sanskrit word for pleasure, but also means total concentration. A calculator was not invented until 1893 because it was believed that one could never find all the numbers in a problem by looking at its equation. And yet, over the years, if given favourable conditions, mathematical knowledge spread throughout all layers of society until today there are people who do their multiplication tables by heart and can multiply up to twelve times tables in their head. From this observation, you might think that mathematics would be an easy subject to teach. Yet, there are still many people who have trouble grasping the concepts. There are also many who prefer other subjects in school while mathematics is often considered a burden by many. Thus many high school students do not take any maths classes at all. There are three major reasons why mathematics is hard for some people to learn: 1. There are multiple definitions of what "mathematics" means depending on the person and their background. An example of this would be a friend saying 'I want a math test tomorrow' and another friend saying 'I'm going to study geometry'. 2. Learning mathematics involves a lot of repetition and memorization. Thus, some people do not enjoy this aspect of the subject and consider it as a waste of their time. For example, many students fail to understand why it is so difficult to learn these equations and formulas: "a+b=a+b". 3. Some people don't like to work with their hands and feel that mathematics can be learned by simply reading about it. An analogy for this would be reading about the lives of famous mathematicians without learning how to apply or understand mathematical principles such as addition or multiplication. Though this does not include everyone, some people find maths directly boring. It is important to realize that mathematics is not something that "happens" to students. To truly learn mathematics, teachers must encourage students who are not naturally good at the subject. The word 'mathematics' comes from the Greek "mathêma", an adjective derived from the verb "to count" (from which we get our word 'mediocre', meaning of little or no value). This gives some explanation about why some people find maths hard (or at least boring), because they do not understand how to count. cfa1e77820
