its not your fault

Growing up, math was never my best subject. I always suffer in math. I thought maybe it was because I was lazy and hence less practice. Yet, I never question maybe its the teacher's fault since everyone learn at a different rate and process information at different times. Math was just not my thing and I never really knew why...

UNTIL NOW!

after attending today's Cognitive and Neuropsychological Developmental Lecture, I found out that math is a difficult thing for many people not because they do not practice their math question well enough but it has more to do with their math learning when they were young.

Dyscalculia or more commonly known as math disability affects many people from the developmental stage of a human being. What was discovered is that adult do not process the same solution to a math problem as a child does. As such, not everyone is good in math which is a wrong general idea that everyone can be good in maths.

You might not understand what i've written but its okay. Just keep in mind that kids understand math differently from adults and if your kid cant do well in math, the problem is bigger than not practicing enough math questions.

Its not your fault you suck in math, its just that you lack the talent in math. Just like you need talent to sing/draw or act, you need talent to do math as well.
