Even though both represent a language, numbers connect with a different part of the brain, or something. I feel a maths journal would certainly help loads of kids who don't tend to think easily about numbers. Thanks for your comment. ;-) Hi Taorist,

A Math Journal would be a great way to humanize such a traumatic subject. But what makes it traumatic in the first place? Is it the presence of numbers? They are nothing but swishes and lines. Is it the thought behind them? The concept seems so removed from reality at times that children have a hard time imagining pi=3.1416. A Math journal would become a reflective study on the "WHY." Why should I learn this? Why is this important in real life? Time for Philosophy and Math to do intercourse again. Hopefully, their child would have all the beautiful qualities of the parents. Yes.
