It's just like any other class. Read any material from the text, read notes taken, and do problems related to the topic ot topics. But, most of all, keep an open mind and stop thinking that you hate math. Math is not physically able to hurt you. If you embrace math, then it will embrace you.Back to Top
Why do I get so much 'homework'?
Someone sometime in the late 80's or early 90's said that kids are getting too much 'homework'. But research has proven that kids have WAY TOO MUCH time on their hands. Many hours are wasted on TV, internet, and/or video games. So why not have a bunch of 'homework'. It will only help you get a great grade.Back to Top
Math is present in some form in many professions. All professions needing a degree, certification, or license need math (Algebra to be specific)in order to graduate. For instance, my wife wants to be a nurse and it is required for her to take Algebra. This is 15 years after she graduated from HS. Besides all that, all students must pass the Ohio Graduation Test in order to graduate from high school. So you see, math is very important to your future success.Back to Top
I have no clue. I think the main reason for its lack of popularity, to say the least, is because of difficulty comprehending at an early stage. Not all kids can grasp mathematical concepts. We all learn differently. Therefore, if one does not 'get it' immediately, frustration sets in then WAM! Immediate dislike. Its like kissing your aunt with the mustache. Once you have a bad experience, you never want to be put in that situation again.Back to Top
