<p>I feel your pain! Visual aids and hands-on activities are key. For algebra, I’ve used balance scales to represent equations. For geometry, building things – even with something silly like the Eggy Car challenge to design stable structures – can make proofs less daunting. Also, connecting concepts to relatable scenarios, like calculating discounts or measuring ingredients for a recipe, helps bridge the gap. It’s a constant juggle between understanding and skill.</p>
