Is Math Easy or Been Hard on/for You?

[snuggleycutejc]

Please share a math story. Math is an extreme class for me. For me math could be confusing, but when I settle nerves/myself down and just follow step-by-step instructions it was ok.  I ask because everyone here in fusioncash should have a math story, lol lol

09-25 is Happy Math Storytelling Day!

Math was never my best subject.  It's the only subject I got C's in

I flunked math all the way through high school. I hated it and never tried to pass it. My husband taught me the easy way to do math in my head and I can now say I don't fail doing it. It does take me a little longer than him, but it's a lot easier the way he taught me. I don't have to use paper and pen for math anymore.

I feel bad for today's kids with the new math. It takes so long and such a roundabout way to get to the answer. No wonder our kids are near the bottom of the "totem pole" compared to other countries!

Hubby noticed that that they can't do math without a calculator or cash register and even then, they have a problem. He was in a fast food restaurant the other day and the girl at the register couldn't even give him change for the order because it was $7.25, so he gave her the $10.25. She didn't know what to do!  He had to tell her how much change he should get back!  What if he wasn't honest? So sad.

No problem, as long as I have my smartphone with the calculator I can handle just about anything I need.

Math has always been a hard topic for me. I have always done good on it but till now I don't understand what some equations are asking me.

Math is easy, and I got A to A+. You just have to focus on the subject.

when my son was in 9th grade he had to learn algebra so thought id learn along with him was lost in chapter 2 .may someday try again not sure.

I like math. I think that the only subject I'm good on.  All subjects I use to have study hard for it but math I get the hang of it very quick.

Once, back when I worked the counter for a bakery, a man came to get some donuts and I guess he decided that I must be stupid if I was working there. He started asking me math questions out of the blue and then scoffed at me when I couldn't figure them out in about five seconds. :/ First off: I'm an Art Major. I've NEVER been good at math, and I've especially never been quick about it.
I've never felt so humiliated. Still, I would have liked to see him date and identify title, material and artist for just about any painting. We've all got our skills. I wish I could have told him that back then. Math isn't everything, it's just a part of what can help you in life.

I wasn't the smartest in math but I got the job done lol

I have always found math to be pretty easy.  But, as oldbuddy said, it is usually no problem when you have a smartphone!

Math has always been one of my weaker subjects, but on the bright side, that's why God made calculators.

No trouble whatsoever. I've heard stories that math classes are now teaching math a new way. Schools in Nebraska are now doing SIMPLE math this way...

I am not a fan of math, but I rather doing numbers the old fashion way.

I have NEVER been a fan of mathematics. However, I understand that it is a necessary evil. I vividly remember the long-winded word problems that I had to do for homework. I ended up asking my mother for help. Hopefully, whenever I have children, they do NOT ask me, LOL.
