Learning math is easy. Its important to understand the fundamentals first. Some thing that may be helpful:

Equations
4 + b = 9

transpose things and the signs change!!
b = 9 - 4

see? Thats simple transposition. Another silly example:
a * 4 = c

Can be changed around to:
4 = c / a

Then there is simple geometry:
'The area of a right angled triangle is heght * width / 2

How did that formula happen? Well, a right angled triangle is simply half of a rectangle :-), so you know the formula for the area of a rectangle right?
lenght * width = area :-)

So draw a square, then draw a line from one opposite corner to the other (diagonally). Magic! Its now two triangles, and thats how that formula was created.

I hate math too, but its the simple fundamentals that help you to build up on a lot of other things, and make some of the more complex formulas possible.

I dont think you can like math, you can practice so it becomes easy to you so maybe then you wont hate it as much. but you cant make yourself like something, just get used to it. so my advice is to keep practicing it(cause math is a skill) and it will become easyer to you to the point where it wont annoy you to do accouple of math problems

well I realy love math and I dont know what math class you are in. like algebra. well one way you can stop hating math is to try a litter harder to learn what you can. get help from the teacher. or if you have friends that are good at math try to have them explain it to u. I know that it is some times hard to ask questions during class. because you dont want to look stupid or any thing but it is ok to ask. dont worry about it. if you do want to ask during class if you have a study hall go and gat a pass out of study hall to get extra help. well I hope this helped some.

its so much harder to learn something when you don't like it
just try to relate to math
like use stuff you like as the variables
here's an example: I have five skirts and 6 tops, how much clothing is it?
its makes things so much easier to process, even lying to yourself and forcing yourself to like it will trick your head into actually liking it (only after a while though)
