There have been a lot of claims that this physical feature or that affects intellectual ability, and maths in particular. Some claim that race matters, gender, head size, body size, you name it.
Now, let's ignore things that really can matter, such things as undiagnosed and uncompensated problems with hearing, sight, health in general, and education and upbringing. All the things that can affect your learning and thinking. No one would be surprised if a blow on the head, or chronic lead poisoning messed up your maths or reading or anything else that needed brainwork, would they?
But a lot of studies that have looked at such things as skin colour and so on affect maths scores. The general effect has been that social factors have a greater effect than any of the others. For example, in communities where learning is seen as sissy or geeky, or where "sexy girls have no brains" and so on, children don't want to do well at maths. But apart from that there is too little effect to matter; perhaps none, for all we can tell.
Two of the smartest maths pupils I have known were a very pretty pair of blonde twins. Two other top scorers were red-headed sisters. Another one that springs to mind as being memorable was a brunette, and another had mousy hair. No baldies, I must admit, but you don't find many of them in high school anyway... And that is not even counting kids who dyed their hair!
You want to know who scored best in general? The ones who took pride in doing a good job, who were interested in life and in doing well, who had the guts to face up to a challenge.
They had hair of any colour you can think of, and every texture.
A student may fail mathematics because he/she did not study, did not attend class, or did not understand the lesson material.
Mathematics is believed to be the key for all other subjects but it is supperising that most students fail it and yet pass other subject.I believe there is no work that you can do without applying mathematics.Consider an individual walking from his home to work in the city, he has in mind how long it is from his home to the place of work and what time he takes to arrive at work and he therefore use mathematics to survive the challenge of travelling and arriving on time.The question now is why do students fail mathematics?I think students only fail the class room mathmatics but they have often applied mathematics in their daily lives to solve problems. The following are some of the reasone students fail mathematics:Negative attitude towards mathematics.Fear due to pressure from friends that mathematics is hard.Failure of the teachers to give proper and simple explanation of mathematical terms.Limited or even lack of learning materials by the students. consider the a student who is going in a lesson of bearing without a set and a culculator, this student can hardly get any thing and yet mathematics needs practice.Lack of enough practice by the students.
The question is so poorly specified that it is impossible to give a sensible answer. It does not specify where, or at what level.
A student may fail mathematics because he/she did not study, did not attend class, or did not understand the lesson material.
It is use to fail the engineering students in final exam.... best use of it to make the student,s life hell....
students fail in science because science is hard(:
Students fail in school if they are not studying not for not eating right
Students fail middle school because they probably want to act cool like there friends.
all of them
Maybe it's used more? I don't Know.
because they are ignorant.
NO
Some do some don't.
About only one to ten students in each district. there are way more passing students than failing students
a system where students either pass or a fail in a subject without being given a grade

It is use to fail the students in exams
