To me it is difficult. I remember when i was in primary school, me and friends used to argue with the teacher about maths saying '' we are not going to be shoppkeepers so why do we have to take this subject?'' What we didn't know or thought of was that we needed maths in the future no matter where we will be working. Ofcourse we need maths, but does it have to be so difficult that some people chose to drop out of school because it? ( i know some who have ) and this is the reason to why me and my friends were argueing with the teacher about . Because we thought it was difficult and therefore needed some arguement to drop it.
Today i was doing some maths excerise at school, it was not too difficult but a lot that it made me think again to why exactly do we learn mathematics. Maybe its because i am behind the teacher ? no, hes two chapter ahead , its just difficult. Out of 15 questions, i manged to do 10 without any problem and used almost 3 hours on the rest and still could not understand how to solve them.
i just wish the guy who started this maths idea was here to help..........
hahahahah !!that is very interesting Oli. I still remember in Mphalankwali of course I never knew why exactly I went to school then.
ReplyDeleteBut now you just reminded me of an exam coming up next week of calculus i have been arguing and still I am about whether I should drop the course or continue...why is maths difficult really??
