MARITES D. RINGOR
In a real world many people doesn’t like mathematics. As we have encountered the word “Mathematics “what does it mean? It denotes figure? Number? A series? An arithmetic?
They were all the same It implies a solution to a problem , some people hated Math. This attitudes calls for a teacher attention. Teacher’s challenging role in this manner was then be surpassed. It could then be a powerful instrument to win the battle.
There are ways on how to get rid of the problems. As a mentor, their success can be measured through the competition that they are joining. As a neophyte in the position it tend to be more difficult, it requires more efforts in analysing the problems and how it will answer fully and properly to the receive in the learners. Even if you are the best teacher in mathematics still you cannot answer it at glance. Perhaps some can orally answer it right away. Paper and pencil are the basic needs in solving problems that needs a particular solution.
Mathematics is continuously like puzzles. Primarily there is only one answer in a certain problem. But then there are solution arises. As you go through the process, it needs efforts and patience to overcome the hardship of teaching mathematics. It is not an easy task isn’t it? while working comport yourself, conceptualized all abstracts and crystallizes step by step until it will conceptualized the possible solution.
Mathematics from those who are exemplary motivated. Working in a problem is neither a skill nor a talent. It prescribed intellectual cognition. Wondering why some people doesn’t like numbers? It is everywhere, encounters it every day or every minute of their lives. Everyone let’s take the challenges of dealing with numbers accept the circumstances and be ready to face the challenges of teaching mathematics. Never let everyone to drain the reservoir of knowledge. Continue to use the unlimited learning acquired. — oOo—
