Math Is Fun Forum

Hi.
I get really stressed out when it comes to fractions. Some times it gets so bad that i start crying and i try not to but i can't help it.
Fractions was probably the hardest subject9and it still is) that i have ever ever tried to do! It's so frustrating and i tell myself, "don't start crying, you will just embarrass yourself, just ask the teacher for help, and take deep breaths." i do, but it doesn't really work. My previous math teacher was sooo nice! She encouraged me and helped me whenever i needed it and she was so caring and kind. She took so much effort into teaching me plus others! But still after that, fractions seem to still be a problem. I had a small test today(it was for my new math teacher to look at so she knew where i was in math so she could help) and it was fairly easy, except for when those fractions came up....as soon as i saw them, i said to myself, "it's fine! Just get through them! If you get them wrong, then the teacher will know that i need help with them." and so i started trying to add them and everything. But the very first one stumped me!
