Why Regular Practice is important?

One of my reader:
"When I am able to read easily, why doing Maths is tough?

Me:
"When you read for the VERY FIRST time, did you feel easy ?"

Reader:
"It was difficult at start, but becomes easier as I  read more and more"

Me:
 "Are you doing the same with Maths?"

Reader:
"No. Once I find Maths tough, I just leave it"

Now we all know where is the missing link.
We did not learn car driving in one day.
It takes few days of listening and following instructions from your driving instructor, remembering them, do one by one, make mistakes, engine off, restart....

Why not we do Maths the same way?
  • Understand a concept thoroughly.
  • Ask and clear your doubts with your teacher, tutor or friends.
  • Then practice a number of times till you mastered it.
Human brain will retain a skill better if it is practiced repeatedly.
