This article is about aversion to math caused by one’s attitude towards the idea that “I’m bad at math”. People may have a phobia of math because the feeling of getting it wrong outweighs that they need to spend more time doing math. In addition, the author states that “math is based on logic and not reality.” Students may rely on memorizing instructions instead of using logic to come to conclusions. The author stumbles through suggesting math is treated only as a prerequisite, something to get through versus something that provides a foundation for problem solving.
