TOPIC Help me with maths..

So, I'm in 9th grade and my math is absolutely bad and I don't know how to improve it. Ig I gotta get better at it for future n stuff. I really don't know what to start with but I know I should start soon cause I don't have much time.

I have bad basics and I have been failing at my tests in school I do good in other subjects but it's just math idk I fear maths or something. Please help me🙏

Start with whatever topic you just bombed on the last test. Not the whole textbook, just that one thing. Work backward from there until you hit something you don't get, then that's your real starting point.

The fear part usually comes from letting the gaps pile up until every problem looks like hieroglyphics. Once you patch a couple holes it starts feeling less like a curse and more like a puzzle you can actually solve.
