Sure, my practicum is finishing but I'm still rolling in with some things to think about. I was just watching a youtube clip about The Storytelling of Science, and a question was asked about being an astronomical theorist (or something like that) and the person not being good at math.
Neil Degasse Tyson said this (or something like this)... "Math is a language that you need to learn to understand. Chinese starts off as an impossible language, but if you move there and live for five years, you start picking it up. The same is with math. Don't say you can't do math until you put in the same amount of effort as that".
That's how to teach it. Math is a language, an impossible code... and it needs to be broken open. It will be hard, but eventually, you get kinda good at it.
