The challenge I had as a kid was that everything was taught either as abstracts, or in ways that wasn't interesting to me.
Like I remember so much math class, the teacher was using sports metaphors. And I remember tuning out the moment football was discussed.
I always find real life examples when my students come to me with math/physics questions.
Trigonometry, thermal expansion, leverage, functions, fractions; "let's go downstairs to the machine shop, and I'll show you".
Same thing for me. I struggled heavily with algebra and geometry, but physics? That was cake because it was real, measurable, and practical. It made sense to learn, and it was interesting enough to keep me focused.
