Why don't i like maths?
I'm currently doing A2 Maths and it's my hardest subject. Compared to my other subjects I dread the thought of doing past papers and doing questions like ugh i wish I liked it more.
At AS i got a D and i'm retaking all three modules again this summer.
So can i learn to like maths more? and if so, how do i do this??

It may not help directly with the exams, but I think it may be worth branching out to look at some of the cooler aspects of maths. They may inpire you!
I particularly recomment to YouTube channels Numberphile, Standup Maths, and 3blue1brown.
Also, if you want to read a rant, look up "Lockhart's Lament"! It's an essay on everything schools do wrong when they teach maths, and it may help you understand why you feel this way.

I can definitely relate.
My teacher for M1 last year was absolutely useless. I was struggling with M2 at the beginning but luckily caught up with M1 stuff because my new teacher is amazing.
At least there's the 'easy' topic of integration for speed, acceleration and distance.

See that’s what I thought, but all the topics are easy in concept,but the goddamn exam questions are a joke, I finished M2 but can’t finish a past paper so just need to pray now lol, and my teacher is worst than useless.

I'm finding that the only questions that utterly trip me up are the hinge/'ladder-on-a-wall' questions. Cannot remember/understand how to do them for the life of me. I'm just hoping I'll be able to beat the knowledge into my head before the exam. At least the majority of content stems from M1 and centres of mass is quite nice.

Think like this, for Maths there is LOADS of support out there, websites, YouTube, questions and obviously TSR whereas Geography which I am doing there is dip**** support.
Yea but I do physics which takes 99% of my time, maths takes the other 1% and my third subject has 0%

Physics is basically further further maths! That's honestly how I see physics even tho I don't do it
Because you're... normal? Hint: you don't have to like math to be good at it.

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic. Chemistry doesn't need much maths compared to physics.

Forget the maths in physics, that’s the nicer part, the explanation etc is the harder part
