How many of y'all suck at math?

[SlaughterMelon]

4 out of 3 people have trouble with fractions.

I see what you did thar. :3

Actually, I'm pretty good at math, taken Algebra I, II, Geometry, Pre-calc, "Advance Math Concepts (Algebra 2.5), and Statistics. All you need to think of math as is formulas. Until you get to higher level math courses, that's all it is. Just plugging numbers in. Just do what you're told to do, and you should be able to get by. Of course, you could view every math problem as a "scramble" and each equation you learn as an "algorithm" to solving the problem (which is actually what it is.).

I'm pretty fair at math, but I'm absolutely nowhere near the level of some of the cubers on this site. My strengths have always been in history, although I'm pretty up there in science as well.

I got A at A-levels (including an AS level in advanced maths) At uni I got pretty decent grades at maths (Engineering), so I thought I was good. Now I'm doing a Ph.D in semiconductor physics, and I realise that in the grand scheme of things, I'm absolutely crap at maths!!!!

I'm not bad at really any subject is school, except maybe I'm a little weak in Drama. But I would say Math is my strongest subject. I am taking the Algebra 1 Final for high school credit on Friday, and next year plan on taking Algebra 2 and Geometry and a Freshman. I am top of my class in pretty much every subject but Drama and French.

I love math, but I'm no good at it.

Late but: practise is a verb. Practice is a noun. So you go to practice to practise. But practise isn't used in America.

That is a dead distinction.

I care. (lalalalalalalalalalalalala)

Algebra: Pain and torture for a Math class, my learning and being 'one of the best in the class' slumped down hard. I think I still made it out with a B, though, or a high C

Algebra is basic common sense that has been condensed into a math course. I hate Algebra.

 

[deco122392]

im pretty good with math. i have yet t find anything in my classes that has stumped me at least. although that being said, i just finished geometry after flunking it once from not really caring and lack of proper instruction. i have helped my friends with there classes up to some calc stuff.

i just feel like math comes easy to me, algebra was simple and i never had any problems with it other then memorizing the quadratic equation and that was resolved after writing it down 4 or 5 times.

to me math has always just seemed logical. although to be perfectly honest i have to see what practical applications what im learning will have before i even feel remotely interested in bothering to learn it.

I suck at Trig and Calculus. I specialize in simple olympiad style problems and geometry. I like intuition much better than formula memorizing.

 

[EmersonHerrmann]

Uh...I just graduated middle school...and I'm pretty sure I got a 92% or so in Algebra 1. I don't know if I suck or not, I guess not. I just hate math because my teacher was obsessed with it...no seriously, we did it every single day until the end of the year.

@Wuqiong(above): lolwut?


Edit: I don't like math at the moment because it is so boring, I don't like science because my teacher is a huge (words I'm not going to type), I don't like language arts because I suck at remembering all those words that mean things and I have bad handwriting. I like history (only if it's something I like, such as the Renaissance...)...

British - practise
American - practice

I will, however, point out that Firefox doesn't think that practise is a word.

I thought the British "practise" pertains to a job, as in "business practise". I thought they use "practice" to describe repeating a task to become proficient.

EDIT: OOOOPS. I got it backwards!

 

[Siraj A.]

Practise, verb. Practice, noun.

 

[CharlieCooper]

I care. (lalalalalalalalalalalalala)

i appreciated it, for what it's worth.

 

[Lt-UnReaL]

Math is my strongest subject by far. I've gotten 95-100 in every math course I've had up until Calculus 1, where I got an 83. I'm blaming my teacher for that, he teaches in such a weird style...well I never did any of the homework either...

 

[Poke]

I get A's and miss almost half my homework... my tests and quizzes make it up.

Algebra: Pain and torture for a Math class, my learning and being 'one of the best in the class' slumped down hard. I think I still made it out with a B, though, or a high C

Algebra is basic common sense that has been condensed into a math course. I hate Algebra.

I didn't understand what I was being taught a lot of time either; and even though I eventually got it, it meant that I stayed slightly behind by a day or two... maybe 3.

It was not fun.
But once I got it, it was usually easy.

 

[Vulosity]

Geometry was very easy to pass. Algebra was difficult to comprehend at first, but then it began to make sense.

I am taking Algebra II next year. (Math is my strongest subject.)

 

[waffle=ijm]

i don't suck at it. I just don't like it
