I was never good at math. (And still not.) But it was strange, I could add and multiply easier than I could subtract and divide. Why, I don't know. I managed to make it through geometry and algebra I, but failed algebra II miserably despite trying everything I could think of, and various tutors. Triginometry, I was lost again.
Some of math just doesn't make any sense to me. Fo example, the triangle formula: A squared + B squared = C squared. Look at it. If you straightened the 2 sides, they're way longer than the third side. So how can they equal it? To this day, I can't process this one, but I can use it. (Most other geometry I've forgotten.)
I know this isn't really helpful, but just my perspective. It's really hard to learn something that doesn't make sense to you.
I agree that visual aids (if it's something that you can use them for) are a good idea.
But C is ALWAYS bigger then A and B, so it works.
