Why the children feel mathematics to be tougher in comparision with other subjects?

Mathematics is one of three R s.   Reading, writing and arithmetic constitute education. Reading and writing are also difficult to begin with. But when child has learnt the alplhabet, reading and writing are no longer difficult. Mathematics or Aritmetic- a branch of mathematics alone remain as difficult subject.  Science that includes mathematics is also difficult. 

The other subjects like History, Political Science and humanities do not need systematic reading and so not so difficult. Mathematics needs thorough study in sequential manner. If you do not learn the  first step, you will not learn the next. similarly, forgetting anything will make learning next steps dufficult. For example, if you do not know simple interest, you cannot learn compound interest. It can be said without fear of contradiction that mathematics is read education. Hence, it is difficult.  It is necessary for advancement of country to encourage students to learn mmathematics, which is base for study in astronomy, space and other sciences. The teachers should be trained to make the subject interesting and encourage students to opt mathematics.

Children feel Mathematics subject tough because Mathematic subject is a practical one. So they feel it is tough. Mostly mathematics deals with logic.

This is not the same case to all the children. Some are better in maths rather than in other subjects, but reason for what a child fears maths is quite different as he/she does in other subjects. First of all, the seriousness shown by the elders while somebody talks about maths which affects the child in negative. Secondly, lack of practice: Maths needs much practice to understand or grasp the idea of a particular mathematical problem or the similar in comparison to other subjects. On the other hand regular practice gives way to find links to the solution of new problems. The most acting factor in this respect is the non-convincing way of teaching by the teacher. A maths teacher should always have the patience in teaching maths. He/she should explain the solution of a problem elaborately, afterwards he/she may opt for the shortcut. A child, after understanding all  the tiny factors of a mathematical solution can automatically go for a shortcut way.

I feel it has to do with the impression of Maths being perceived as a difficult subject than it actually is, which seems to make it feel tougher than other subjects.

Hai 

Actually Mathematics is an interesting subjects. Those who are not having interest in this subject are not able to study the subject. This is a subject of understanding the concepts and not memorizing. So those who are not having good memory power also can get good marks.
