Abstract
If a child is not successful in arithmetic, many teachers mistakenly assume the entire problem to be a “natural” dislike for the subject. The child's lack of success may be characterized by incomplete homework, inaccurate work, unwillingness to explore by himself the field of mathematics beyond those assignments made by the teacher in the standard text, inattentiveness, and a verbally pronounced discontent with the subject. Admittedly, each of these symptoms could be associated with a dislike of mathematics, but each of them could also be attributed to reading problems associated with mathematics and not to mathematics per se.
