Mathematical problems is an issue for many students in High School. Many students doesn't want to perform or are just discrouaged on all they do. This discouragement decreases all their performances in school especially in math. Discouragement could be found in; To much homework, family problems or just saying: I don't want to or i'm not able too, even if they aren't trying.

First, it's okay to recognize the "fear" of math. A recent study actually found that students did better when they wrote about their fears before taking a challenging math test. What could help you before doing a test would be to write about all your worries. It would boost your performance in the classroom says Rebeka Zook, a professional math tutor.

Finally, you should make math a part of your everyday life and make it simple. We all know it's a boring subject but if you want to perform, you should always do your homework. If you have math on a Monday and the homework is due for Wednesday, you could do part of it monday night and the rest tuesday night. Or, Just take more math activities in class and do some problems out the school to understand and practice your chapter everyday. This will make it an everyday life!
