Maths

[Kiechi]

My maths = Defies the laws of gravity. It sucks and blows at the same time. I'm just hopeless with it. I want to know, do you think being good at maths is a genetic thing or is it something you can improve on? thoughts appreciated.

[vashti]

I think anyone can improve, but I also think some people naturally have a better aptitude for it. What math are you taking?

I.B Math Studies.

Aw, jeez. I can't help. I have absolutely no idea what IB math is - we obvioulsy call it something different. Is there tutoring available at your school?

As in tutoring with a teacher by myself? If so, no. They're always busy.

[vashti]

No, I mean like a more advanced student that tutors you. At the school I go to, there is an actual tutoring building, where you can go to get basic help with almost any subject. You should check with your school to see if they offer something, and if not, with your teacher. S/he probably has office hours during which time they are *supposed* to help students who need it.

Well no wonder your having trouble, IB is really hard, i remember IB bio kicked my butt. For those of you who dont know IB is sort of like AP classes.

I think math is mostly something we cannot change (im not going to say genetic), but it is in the way we think, how we get from A -> B. And while it may be hard to do, but i think you can get better at it, as vashti said get a tutor and it will be a piece of cake.

I got no problem with my other classes, I can get level 7 in all of them but Maths. It literally just does my head in.

Vashti --- Nope. None.

EDIT: BFTBrick, how many points did you get?

[Junket]

Sorry dude, but I find it hilarious that you refer to it as "maths" and not just math.

I guess it's a Brit thing.

Hahaha! I just noticed that. Yes, it must be a British thing.

I wish I could give you the math mojo. I'm good at math.

[Junket]

I'm suck at math.

Yet another asian stereotype I fail to live up to.

Can you drive?

The only two things I suck at in math is word problems, and calculus as I never took it. But besides that I am pretty good at it. I have no idea what IB Math Studies is, but I would guess it has to do with something about going into the depths of how complex math works, like functions and what have you.

I'm a fantastic driver.

3 years of driving an no accidents/tickets.
