Why do students get low scores on math?

Answer 1

There are several reasons why students fail such as having a learning disability that has not been diagnosed or they have no desire to complete the required work. Low self confidence or having trouble understanding and just giving up are also reasons why students fail.

Answer 2

A number of reasons;
Not interested in the subject/school
Learning disability
Emotional distress
Lack of understanding
Lack of drive (ie a student who needs help but won't seek it out)
Lack of understanding/shame (a student who knows they need to help but is too embarassed by that need to see it)
Their base needs aren't being met -- see Maslow's hierarchy.

Answer 3

Math is one of the hardest subjects you can ever do. Go in and get some math help or get a tutor to help you understand

In my case im failing since my elementary/primary school was sooo easy and High School math is harder since they "get with the program" in High School.

Some Highschoolers are just lazy or have lazy teachers or just don't have math brains.

Answer 4

Because they either don't give a crap about school and don't care if they fail or they find the work hard and no matter how hard they try they can't do well. Or there always is that they can't be bothered to do anything.

ANSWER 2:

Few people fail a course in high school. It is usually up to the teacher whether to fail a student or not. For instance, if a kid got 47 %, but the teacher feels the kid did his best, the teacher may choose to round the mark up to 50 % and allow them to pass the course. However, if the teacher felt the kid didn't try, then they would probably fail the student.

Answer 6

They don;t necessarily. Some get very high scores and that is because they make the effort to understand the subject, and learn to apply it in all sorts of situations.

Answer 7

Lack of effort.
