You can do it!!

Mastering math is sometimes all about the attitude.

I’m constantly telling my students this. If you tell yourself you can’t do math, then you’ve already lost. The minute you change your mind and tell yourself you can do math, then you increase the chances that you’ll learn it.

You may not pick up a concept on the first attempt, and that’s okay. As long as you keep working at it, you will get it (especially if you are able to explore the concept different ways until you find the one that makes sense to you).

Incidentally, this is true of most things in life.

(Sorry about this week, everyone. The past two weeks have been fairly crazy both at work and in my personal life, so I haven’t had the time to write the next series of articles for you guys. I’m planning on getting those done this weekend!)
