How to learn math by trekster

"Everything in life is math, even if you don't know it."

How I did it: I paid attention in classes, asked questions of the teachers/ profs, did my homework and worked with others to help.

The big part, though, is attitude - if you think you can't, you're right.  However, if you think you CAN, you're right.

You deal with math all the time, every single day.  You deal with telling time, using money, picking up groceries, driving places, estimating distances.  Scheduling your day, reading a map, giving directions.  All of this is math, if you can just approach it the right way.

Lessons & tips: ~Ask for help when you start getting behind, and be specific!
~Don't say " I don't get it" , say "I don't understand what I'm supposed to do when I see *this*" and other exact problems. 
~Do your homework - and if you're stuck, write down WHY in the spot. 
~Do what you can, regardless.  If you can't understand how to use SOHCAHTOA, at least draw the right triangle and label it.

    Scary math 2 years ago

    I’ve always been intimidated by math. I wish there was a way for me to be able to teach myself all the complicated stuff that I couldn’t wrap my head around in high school.

    never done... 2 years ago

    Math is a staircase that gets build on again and again with no ending. So I will never completly know math but I think I’m doing pretty good. Ever since 6th grade I’ve been a grade ahead in math and if I try super super hard I can proabably skip a math course. Knowing math gives you a sense of accomplishment and makes you feel good as you add/divide/mutiply/cross-mutiply/simplify…lolz..you get the point?
