Opis

Mathematics as a subject is an essential part of school education. Apart from being an important school subject, mathematics is significant for human lives and activities. Mathematics plays a vital role in life, from basic counting to any scientific-level calculation. Students found difficulty in learning Geometry, Algebra, Trigonometry, and Statistics. Students convey that there were many formulas to be memorized in Mathematics, especially in Algebra, trigonometry, and calculus. As per the teacher's opinion, students could not memorize formulas due to unclear concepts or low understanding. Very few teachers did not face any problems while teaching mathematics. Teachers used blackboards to explain the problems and repeated them repeatedly when needed. Most of the time, they assign homework to the students for better understanding. Based on the present study's findings, the investigator came out with vital information that might be useful and a guiding source for teachers and parents to overcome students' learning difficulties in mathematics.
