About this ebook
If you are having difficulty learning math, you already know you are not alone. Many people struggle with math. In fact, it is the one discipline in which low grades and low performance are almost universally acceptable because they are so common. For example, a parent is more likely to excuse a lower report card grade in math than in any other subject because that parent probably got lower grades in math when he or she were in school.
But why is math so hard to learn? If we look at the nature of learning math it will become easy to see why it is almost a miracle that anyone (without some innate talent) ever learns math.
The following “Top 10” can give you insights into how to learn math and help you understand the different pieces that must come together for you to not only learn math but enjoy the journey.
