Top Math Concepts Students Struggle With — And How to Fix Them Quickly
From Grade 8 to Pre-Calculus 12, students in BC consistently struggle with a handful of math topics. These struggles don’t come from lack of ability — they come from gaps in foundation, fast pacing, and unclear explanations.
Here are the concepts students need the most help with.
⭐ 1. Factoring & Polynomials
Students often misapply rules when factoring expressions or expanding polynomials.
Solution: Break down pattern recognition & practice step-by-step.

⭐ 2. Trigonometry & Special Angles
SOH-CAH-TOA is simple — but applying it in word problems, angles of elevation, or 3D geometry is challenging.
