How many of y'all suck at math?

[Hadley4000]

There are quite a few topics here where cubers go off on math talk that leaves me in the dust. So, rather than talk about math problems, who here also sucks at math?

I managed to fail Algebra I, and a quarter way through Algebra II, on the skirts of failing, managed to switch to Geometry, which I came close to failing. Did great in all other subjects throughout my highschool years, but there is an unmistakable slope of ignorance when it comes to those pesky numbers.

Who else?

85.4% of all cubers suck at math
73.2% of all statistics are mad up on the fly

My math has always been 5 (A, but we use numbers)... Now I have so bad teacher that I just don't bother to learn and got 4 without any learning.. I never learn at home (except cube)..

I understand most aspects of math, but the non-intuitive stuff is more difficult

Practise, practise, practise.

There is nothing wrong with his spelling.
You need to work on your punctuation.

 

[watermelon]

British - practise
American - practice

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

Skip to avoid monologue
Math is my strongest subject. As I said before, because of my recent move, I am trapped in my algebra I class, which is an average class, when I could be an algebra II. In my school, the classes go Algebra I(1 year), Geometry(1 semester-1 year, depending on if you take regular or advanced), Algebra II(1 semester), Pre-Calc(year), and Calculus(year).

Luckily for me, if I never fail, which I probably won't, I will be able to take calculus I in high school. To give you an idea of how advanced I am for my class, I have only missed one 100% on my standardized practice test.

Monologue over:
But to answer your question, I do know that in my class, 4 out of 3 people have trouble with fractions. I also know that, if you have trouble in math, the "smart kid" in class will probably be the most likely to help.

Ah. FF FTL in this case, then.

2 weeks ago I had my exams for ''Applied mathematics'', well when I saw the test I was like ''Hmkay...'' and I returned the exam without written anything on it.
So I am flunking school too now....

For me maths is equal to: pain, feeling powerless, despair, feeling worthless, feeling aggressive, Pol Pot.

 

[Rozir]

well most people think i am good at math just because i can solve the rubik's cube. which isn't the case, i am really more of a science guy!

im probably going to fail my my algebra1 class final exam

 

[ajmorgan25]

I don't consider myself to be good at math and most of the time I hate it. I also have to minor in it to earn my degree...

 

[daeyoungyoon]

I'm a senior right now and took AP calculus so I guess I'm a little over average??? btw the teacher wasn't really good in my opinion....I just moved to NY from Jersey during my senior year and my new teacher couldn't even solve some of the textbook problems and had one of us solving it for the class.

 

[skwishy]

I did very well in math in previous years. I excelled in geometry and trigonometry, passing both classes with over 100%, but that doesn't mean that I can recall anything now, and had near 100% in algebra I and II as well as AP statistics. I took AP calculus this year and will admit that I have never been so confused before. I still managed to get at least a B each term but that was based more on participation that by how well I understood the subject. I am going to defend myself slightly and say that part of the problem was that I had a first year teacher who was still getting into the groove of things. I will also admit that I was just lazy too and did not go out and learn on my own. I just don't see the fun in reading a calculus book in my spare time.

i seem to be the unusual one when mixing with cubers. i am not even slightly scientific, those were my only bad grades at school. same with maths, i was never bad at that at least, i was just much better at arts subjects like english and foreign languages. i studied spanish and german for my first degree which is hardly mathematical and i will do english literature for my second degree

while i am good at mental arithmetic for example, i am constantly out of the loop with specific maths or science references. you are not the only one

 

[IamWEB]

I was doing amazing, until they skipped me over Pre-Algebra.

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...

Geometry: Trying to make my return to being one of the higher-scoring in the class, and I am. Still not an A, but definitely better than Algebra, definitely.

That is a very misplaced smiley Rama. I really hope you are going to do well on your 1 final chance when you can redo 1 exam. The world doesn't need another "drop-out, worthless, aggressive, unemployed, sitting in his attick playing the bass, guy". Also, girls in general (and mothers in particular) like it when you graduate and become "succesful"

but, but, but......You are a girl. You are supposed to be good at languages and you are supposed to such at technical stuff. It is confusing enough that you can even solve a cube

I like maths... And I like sciences...

Once we had a course on body language and the guy who came to teach us just looked at me and said: "I bet you like maths!"
and I wasn't even holding a cube in my hands at that moment...

Maybe because you look like Bill Gates when he was your age.
