Math Confidence for Life or Not?

When I tell people that I'm a Math teacher, I often hear "I've never been good at Math." It makes me wonder, if you had gotten some tutoring when you weren't understanding, would you have Math confidence today?

With Math being everywhere, we don't want to give up on Math, nor do we want our children to give up. It's important to get students help before a lack of Math confidence takes over.

Math is one of the subjects that won't let you brush under the rug if you don't know fractions or decimals as you won't stop seeing them ever. You want to be able to use fractions or decimals when they come up. And if you don't remember, look up how to find a common denominator on Google!

Rather than say "I can't do Math", say "I can get better today in Math". And never stop growing in Math even when you are out of school :)
