Teachers have
the responsible to help students to see
the important of math. Pupils should learn
to value and see application for learning math inside and outside the classroom
since math surrounds us, everything in life is a problem (many involve math).
This will able to help students realize that it is not something from which
they can escape, but a tool they need to learn how to use and apply in
real-life situations. It is important for
students to become confident in their ability to do math.
Math need relevant to students’ everyday life. Thus, students today need for practical math too. Students enjoy experimenting and engaging in exploring, conjecturing, and thinking rather than, engaged only in rote learning of rules and procedures. So, the use of manipulative will able to make learning math concrete. Some of the abstract ideas can be model or represent by the pictures and symbols. This also provides a chance of hand-on activity for students to enjoy their learning in math.

Math anxiety happens in the classroom due to the lack of consideration of different learning styles of students. Math must be looked upon in a positive light to reduce math anxiety. Teachers must change their teaching approaches from traditional teaching methods which often do not match students’ learning styles. Once young children see math as fun, they will enjoy it, and, the joy of mathematics could remain with them throughout the rest of their lives. The teachers begin a cycle that will produce less math-anxious students for generations come.
