People who hate math

I have trouble convincing people who hate math to engage and believe in themselves.  They eventually stop coming to class and fail.  What should I do to build confidence

Great question! What are some things you learned from the module that you think can assist you in building confidence? The first step is becoming aware of the students that are not confident, so great job there!

I have the same problem with students in my class that have struggled in the past with learning electrical. What I do to help build their confidence is I show them some of our beginner projects that break electrical down into a simpler form that can be understood easily and then I build on that. I also can relate to them because I used to struggle with electrical and I can relate to them with that issue. Math is a tough one for sure just like electrical. I sure am glad there is calculators!
