Sim said:Unless there is a real learning difficulty happening (not maths related - but physiological), in my experience, it's nothing but attitude and confidence (basically, fear) that cause people to struggle with maths.
I have successfully taken C/D grade high school students who were failing maths and brought them up to at least B grade with minimal effort ... just takes a bit of time and patience to explain to them the "tricks" of maths and help them see the patterns. Adults who are keen to improve (have the right attitude) are just as easy, if you have the correct technique.
Most kids who struggle with basic maths become adults who struggle with basic maths, and it's nothing more than fear in my experience - give them some confidence and help them practice in a non-threatening environment, and they can usually do wonderful things. I'm not saying there's a quick fix - but with some applied effort, people can usually be helped to become competent with real-world maths.
... and I don't think relaxation will help on its own, but people do need to learn to overcome their fears.

Discreet mathematics I could kinda handle.
Mathematical induction I never got my head around
