Many students struggle with math because they often feel that the exercises lack real-world relevance, leading to frustration and disengagement. There is a consensus that practical applications of math should be integrated into the curriculum earlier, rather than waiting until higher-level courses like trigonometry. Participants noted that teachers may not always convey the "why" behind mathematical concepts, which can hinder understanding and enthusiasm. The discussion highlights a desire for more contextual learning to help students see the value in what they are learning. Overall, there is a call for educational reform to better connect math education with real-life applications.
