- Some of us started well with most of the subjects we were taught while some did not . What happen?

- Mathematics was in easy subject for some through out Element schools while it was not same for some; what happened?
- Some continued well through high school or secondary school till the end of their junior class and then senior class was different; what happened?
- Some where able to stay on throughout secondary school but could not pas mathematics in their certificate examinations what happened?

- Finally, some did not do well at lower levels but picked up at higher level, what happened?
This is article is an
effort to encourage us as scholars from the primary education level to the
tertiary level that whatever level we are, we can actually be good in
mathematics. I will be discussing the challenges of mathematics at different
levels of our educational life. After that is done I intend to let you know
that you can overcome those challenges with the right mindset.
YOUR
SYLLABUS AND YOU
According to the Longman
dictionary of contemporary English ``syllabus is a plan that states exactly
what students at a school or collage should learn in a particular subject’’.
Based on this definition, educational bodies sit down to plan the syllabus for
every class from the primary school to the secondary school and on the tertiary
institutions. This means they will not include topics that are meant for senior
classes in the syllabus of Junior classes.The point I am trying to bring out
here is ``what ever topic you are taught at which ever class, provided it`s in
the syllabus, you can understand and solve it’’ Mathematics is a mentality. If
you think you can do it then you can do it.
