Mrs. Patty Assan, the Director of Schools and Instructions, has urged students to constantly practice mathematics to eliminate the perceived fear associated with the subject. My dear learners, solving one mathematics problem a day keeps you closer to loving Mathematics, she said.
Mrs Assan, speaking at an event to commemorate the National Mathematics Day in Accra said both the teacher factor and the learner factor were the two main areas to consider if we needed to deal with this phobia.
This year s event, which was held virtually was on the theme: Mathematics for a Better World.
The National Mathematics Day, which should have been celebrated on February 14, 2021, had to be moved to Wednesday, February 17, 2021, since February 14 fell on a Sunday.
