Common Struggles Faced bY SECONDARY 2 Students in Maths
- Has issues remembering rules, numbers, formulas, and theorems in context.
- Anxiety related to the subject matter that impacts functioning.
- Struggles to relate mathematics to the physical world.
- Poor study methods, such as learned helplessness, lead to overreliance on rote memorization.
- A deficit in purposeful practice needed to develop mastery and self-assurance.
