Adults, especially parents, transfer many attitudes to children about learning. Such statements as, "I've never been good at science... or "I can't do math to save my life." are quotes from this article. Teachers are not immune to these attitudes and can have negative attitudes as well. Perhaps you yourself may not feel very confident in performing some mathemetics procedures or understanding some math concepts, much less teach it. This article describes math anxiety and suggests ways to overcome these feelings.......Interesting comments - don't miss them at the end of the article.
