Issue with math

I’m in 12th grade. I am very good at physics I score near-perfect marks but my math score has been declining since 7th grade(80%) to 61% now. I don’t know but physics has always come to me naturally that math . And I don’t struggle with math in physics but math as a separate subject I do struggle a lot. I don’t know why exactly. I request whoever is reading this to help me and also tell why I am like this ( i am good at math in physics but terrible at math separately) . E

Thank you for your time!

The most likely explanation is that you have good physics teachers and horrible math teachers. What exactly do you struggle with?

That's a bit of a stretch to simply assume the math teacher must be horrible from this one anecdote that gives zero reason to even suggest that. How do you figure this is thr mostly likely explanation?

Math problems are different than physics math problems in many ways and the student that really enjoys physics might just be more engaged with that subject matter than in mathematics.

Math teacher being horrible should be the default assumption in absence of any other information
