It is hard to convince a high-school student that he will encounter a lot of problems more difficult than those of algebra and geometry.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
My main concern with the condition of mathematics in high school is that there's a lot of fear involved! Math is not, generally speaking, presented in a fun way. The concepts, as I see them, are fun, and that's the way I'd like to convey them myself.
Let's face it; by and large math is not easy, but that's what makes it so rewarding when you conquer a problem, and reach new heights of understanding.
Students shy away from Maths, but in reality Maths is the best friend of man.
I was very slow in maths, geometry I actually enjoyed.
The most painful thing about mathematics is how far away you are from being able to use it after you have learned it.
Why do children dread mathematics? Because of the wrong approach. Because it is looked at as a subject.
I was very bad at mathematics in school, and I always had the feeling as a kid that when I worked on problems, that I would be wrong.
Life isn't about algebra and geometry. Learning by making mistakes and not duplicating them is what life is about.
The point is with good maths skills you have just wonderful opportunities and if you don't have good maths skills, there are just so many things that you won't be able to do.
Well, some mathematics problems look simple, and you try them for a year or so, and then you try them for a hundred years, and it turns out that they're extremely hard to solve.
