When You Are Teaching Reading in Mathematics
The Students Have To Understand What They Have To Do
Usually when problems arise in math they are to do with the student not understanding what the question is. So they either can’t answer the question or they get the wrong answer. The teacher should know whether the student can’t read the question or not. Because the students are not going to tell the teacher they can’t read.
Here you have to explain what the question means and the specific way the question is written. If you look at the answer and you can see what the student did wrong explain it so the student shouldn’t make that mistake again.

What are the reasons behind maths’ dreadful reputation that divides the society into mathematical “haves” and “have-nots”?
“One reason why students fare badly in Maths is that they are learning it mechanically, often not understanding what they are learning and they are unable to apply it to real-life situation,” says Vijay Kulkarni, the leader of the First Annual Status of Education Report (ASER) released recently by the well known Bombay-based non-governmental organization, Pratham.
