Maths 8-12

Many high school students struggle with math, finding its concepts tough to understand, as they lack in basic math concepts.
The mathematics curriculum for grades 8-12 requires students to use different aspects such as visualization, descriptive or analytic problem-solving, abstract or relational thinking, formal deductions and so on.
When students lack in any of these aspects, it shows on their problem-solving abilities.
Memorizing formulas and procedures are an issue for some students, who are unable to move ahead.
One of the best ways to solve this issue is by using repetitive learning methods.

Sometimes, students find mathematics difficult as they are used to following a set of rules and algorithms to solve problems.
They only solve similar problems and equations, and are clueless when presented with a different kind of problem. What students need is to be taught to read a map and not just learn up the directions to get from one place to another when it comes to their mathematics coaching.
