Studying different subjects from a young age makes the child capable of grasping innumerable concepts and language in the growth years. Children get used to absorbing the lessons taught in different subjects. The segregation of subjects makes it easier for them to distinguish between each and it is only after a certain age that they are required to make interconnections between them. The basic subjects that a child is introduced to in primary school are Mathematics, Science<\/a>, and Language.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Once they are introduced to these subjects children automatically tend to become interested in one and disinterested or rather less interested in the other. This may be because of various reasons, the ability of the child is primary. Sometimes a student\u2019s logical understanding is far more polished than his language skills. While some students are excellent in grasping Language and not Mathematics.<\/p>\n

This in no way means that a student cannot perform well in all subjects.<\/strong> It all depends on the right attitude and behaviour that the student possesses towards a particular subject. More often students become less interested in Mathematics because it requires a lot of concentration, regular practice, and calculations. The lack of interest in the subject makes them weak and hence they often score less in the subject.<\/p>\n

Here are 5 best ways you can inspire your child’s interest in math<\/h2>\n

If you are one of those students who find Mathematics difficult or one of those parents who are finding it difficult<\/strong> to build interest in Mathematics in your child here are some ways that you can apply through which you can enhance your interest or your child\u2019s interest towards Mathematics.<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. Boost confidence<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Every individual has unique skills and no student can be considered dull in any form.<\/strong> Every student has his own capabilities and understanding according to which he\/she performs in academics and sports. Confidence is the key factor when it comes to learning a subject and applying it in your daily life.<\/p>\n

If your child lacks confidence in Mathematics, it becomes your responsibility to boost his\/her confidence so that she is motivated to perform simple problems in the beginning and complex by the time she\/he gets hold of the concept. If you are a student struggling to cope with the calculations then be patient. You need to relax and calm your mind and start with the easier topics.<\/strong> This will build your confidence. It will make you believe in yourself and your capabilities to solve complex topics as well.<\/p>\n

2. Ask questions<\/strong><\/h3>\n

One of the best ways to build your confidence and interest is to ask questions. Once you become curious about a certain topic or how it is supposed to be solved you will automatically be driven towards finding answers. This is called intrinsic motivation. Instead of focusing on getting higher marks in your exams and tests which is an extrinsic motivation one needs to focus on intrinsic motivation.<\/p>\n

The drive to find out problems, the curiosity to ask questions will eventually lead you or your child into liking Mathematics. Asking questions is a great virtue and finding out correct answers is what makes a student excel in the subject.<\/p>\n

3. Focus on the concept<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Most of the time students make the mistake of rote learning in a subject that requires them to focus on the concept. Understanding a concept, building qualitative skills to solve open-ended questions by applying mathematical reasoning and logic will enhance the student\u2019s ability to perform better, consequently building his interests in the subject.<\/p>\n

The other mistake that the students usually make while practicing Mathematics is they place more emphasis on the process rather than the concept as a whole. A single problem can have innumerable approaches which you can apply in various ways. If you emphasize only the procedure rather than the idea then it might become difficult for you to solve difficult problems in higher classes, which in turn will fetch you fewer marks taking you away from the subject.

4. Solve authentic problems<\/strong><\/h3>\n

It is advisable for students who are less interested in Mathematics to practice problems from the prescribed textbooks first rather than attempting random questions from the internet. A textbook prescribed by the board that the students are under will give them ample opportunity to enhance their calculation skills and progress smoothly towards finding Mathematics interesting as well. Thus A student lacking the knowledge will get some idea about the concept and then solve authentic problems and gain some knowledge regarding the topic of the subject.<\/p>\n
