1. Narrow down topic
 
    MATHEMATICS: Must be hated or understood?

 > The causes and prevention of math anxiety.
 > How to reduce math test anxiety.
 > What are the difficulties/struggles encountered by students and teachers in dealing with mathematics?
 > What are the causes and effects why students have their hard time and difficulties with regards to mathematics?
 > What are the solutions which can be made in order to understand and overcome mathematical difficulties?

2. Make a tentative outline

  I. Definition and importance of mathematics
 II. Difficulties/struggles encountered by;
            A. Students
                       1. Understanding concepts and principles
                       2. Solving mathematical equations and word problems
                       3. Adapting to normal practice
            B. Teachers
                       1. Using the kind of teaching methods and strategies
                       2. Delivering and explaining lessons
 III. Causes and effects of mathematical difficulties to students
 IV. Solutions that can be done in order to understand and overcome mathematical difficulties

3. Informal -> formal

Informal:
              If there is this math anxiety, I'm sure that there are methods on how to reduce it. At my early age, I find mathematics a hard subject because when I was a kid I really don't want to memorize and deal with numbers. It is just like brain-breaking thing that makes students embarrassed and anxious everyday they meet it. 

Formal:
             There are many methods on reducing math anxiety. Memorizing and dealing with numbers makes mathematics a hard subject in my childhood days. Embarrassment and anxiousness were encountered by students in this brain-breaking subject.
