Maths is considered fun and challenging, however for many children the concept of math can lead to fear and stress. Some children are anxious about getting an answer right without understanding the question. The children who fear maths are usually frustrated, that leads to disapproval for the subject. Children start hating math when they don’t master the skill at the foundational level. Some of this can be traced to the pedagogy – where students are incentivised to rote learn and teachers are measured on “finishing the syllabus”.
