Abstract
Mathematics is an important subject but learning mathematics is not easy for everyone. Mathematics, by nature, is the subject of symbols and have high abstraction. Learning mathematics needs to have concreteness in developing mathematics understanding. Some students have difficulties in learning mathematics and cannot solve math problems. What factors effecting difficulties in learning mathematics From studying selected articles, it showed that factors effecting difficulties in learning mathematics is the nature of mathematics itself, which is abstract. The way the content is presented was not consistent with child development, and a lack of practice.
