The answer, I believe, lies in the way math is taught. Traditional math instruction focuses on memorizing rules and procedures. Students are taught to memorize the steps involved in solving a math problem, but they don't always understand why those steps work.

This approach to teaching math is ineffective for many students. They may be able to memorize the steps, but they don't understand the concepts behind those steps. As a result, they can't apply what they've learned to new situations.

The Problem With Math Is English argues that the problem with math is not with math itself, but with the way it is taught. The book offers a new approach to teaching math that focuses on understanding concepts rather than memorizing rules.

This approach to teaching math is more effective for students because it helps them to understand why math works. They can see how the different concepts are connected, and they can apply what they've learned to new situations.

If you're struggling with math, I encourage you to read The Problem With Math Is English. It may just change the way you think about math.
