Ask your friend who's a genious in Maths to help you again. Don't care about what the others will say, they're probably afraid of your success.


I really can't ignore their gossiping!I can't stand it!

Well.
I failed in math again!
Yesterday,we had a math exam.I guess I can only get 100 out of the full 150 while the best studnet can get 125.


Do you really need the best 150 grade?
Will you have to repeat the class if you "only" have 100 points?

And Platon said that wisdom can only be gained through steps. You can't be an elite maths student tomorrow if you are a weak maths student today. For example you first have to understand the rules you haven't known before, then you have to use these rules on different tasks, and then you need to do it repeatedly to be faster and faster. From the beginning until now, it's a long way. Just try to go higher on your stairs to the next level, and don't dream of already being at the next level.

It's not important what others tell you, it is important to know what you want.

Well.Now I am making myself exactly know that I should not give up!
And all I need is some good advice on learning math and doing more exercise! Laughing
Of course,I will try to ignore others' gossiping of that boy and me.
However,when I am about to do this,I see a paragraph:

Quote:
winky,maybe you don't know.I have cared for Chris.Really,I like him! However,because of your appearence,Chris ...
Well,winky.Would you please give Chris to me!There are so many other boy like you,you really needn't Chris!
Though Chris treats everybody well,and so do you.But Chris treat you much better and ...
Can you know how I feel when I see it!
So please let go.Chris belongs to me!

(Chris is the boy who I have mentioned above)
I didn't do anything,but a girl(I guess it was a girl) said this to me!
Here is the place to see that girl's words:

Then I start to wonder if I can carry on ingoring her words? Question

Yes.I should acknowledage that I don't have knack in learning mah.
Could anyone give me some advice?
I really need it! Laughing

oh my god at the end i find a group that understand me!!! Laughing i has exactly the same problem when i was in high school... i hated maths for a long i usually used to study a lot when i had a exam near and my scores weren`t the best ones... i think that if you study every day an hour the maths are not going to be pretty dificult but that also depends of the person that has the cleverness and the facilities for tha maths because my brother likes it and he always studies one day before the test and at night Crying or Very sad i dont know how he does it !!

The only way that I know for learning math is making exercice, and then ask to your teacher the things that you don't understand!!!! Some times people things that math is hard, but math is only following the steps, what happens is that you can make a little mistake and that change the final result, so if you know the steps to get the final result you are ok.... but if you don't know the steps look for help!!!! Very Happy

And math can be learned as you learn to use the computer, nothing in this live is impocible is just that you have to fight to get it!!!! Wink

If I learn basic thinks of math you can do it too!!!! Of corse I forget a lot things, because a don't practice that!!!!

Good luck!!!!

maybe the real problem is not maths, but Chris...
I think, with Chris as a private tutor, and with a little bit of effort, you can achieve what you want.

i am good at math, and i got 146 in the university enterance exam.
in the math exam, we try to solve puzzles, and there is a inner logic in every puzzle. math in high school is the basic, it's not very difficult. Many puzzles have the same "inner logic". you'd better find the logic yourself, then you can solve most of the puzzles

obtain a good teacher firstly,
learn from basic knowledge concept. .step by step
but if you are a true fool about math,
it seems to be very difficult..

in my opinion
