Why We Hate Math: Three Reasons | Carr (Yijin) Li | TEDxTheMastersSchool

For many, studying mathematics is a negative experience. In this TEDx Talk, Carr Li offers an alternative perspective aimed at discovering the fun of mathematics by explaining three reasons why people dislike math and providing three corresponding stories to challenge those opinions. Carr (Yijin) Li, is in the tenth grade at The Masters School and is a boarding student from China. Li has taken an active role in math activities including math clubs, nationwide math competitions and math modeling events. His experience of learning both in China and the United States gives him a special understanding of mathematics. He encourages people to have a "math mindset” by always approaching challenges in life logically, creatively and thoroughly. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

Dear Math, please grow up and solve your own problems, I'm tired of solving them for you.

I've traumatized so much by math that when we have Homework, I don't do it cause I'm lazy.
I don't do it cause I'm afraid I might shame myself again with the wrong answers.

[@mariatheresafloresca4166]

Yes

[@mariatheresafloresca4166]

But we need to love math

[@Coffeehouse_Latte]

I know, but now that the schoolyear is almost over.
I'm gonna do the final stretch and finish strong, or at the very least, the best that I can.

[@anaamaro70]

i hate math because its rules didnt made sense. I used my instinct instead but the road to the answer was different. I had less than 1 % at tests, because i did not understood math and still makes me angry . I even told my highschool teacher i was given up maths and study other disciplines. I cant deal with things related to numbers it makes me anxious. i am 51 and maths is stll a phantom.

[@sniperit1140]

Maybe we hate math cause one dot or a different in sign of plus and minus can get your whole answer wrong, thats why I personally hate it, cause answers are so specific

[@xcept1281]

My teacher literally made us complete a table in geometry without actually telling us what to do and write ._.
