Common Struggles Faced by Primary 6 Students in Maths
- Understanding and extracting relevant information from word problems to apply math concepts correctly can be difficult.
- Struggling to finish tasks within the time constraints of exams is a common issue.
- A weak grasp of previous topics makes it hard to progress in more advanced math areas.
- tough to understand abstract mathematical ideas like equations and symbols.
- Applying abstract math concepts to real-life situations is often a challenge.
- Relying on memorization without grasping the underlying concepts limits problem-solving ability.
