3. Makes abstract thinking difficult, some topics should remain abstract.
4. If given examples are complex, to learn the mathematics of the problem can be difficult.
5. Benefits of the lessons might be limited to the given real world problem and it might be difficult to transfer acquired knowledge to other situations,
6. Students may think that mathematics is only limited to real life.
7. It is not suitable to use real world connections for each topic in a high school mathematics curriculum,
8. The heavy content of the curriculum and lack of time may make it difficult to use connections.
9. Lack of adequately equipped teachers and their reluctance is a kind of limitation.
