Bad at math?

Post Reply New Topic

I always sucked at math. I did fine with math in grade school because it was all counting and then memorization and then it was a bunch of math problems in one which was division because you have to multiply in it and then use subtraction and then starting 5th grade in 1997 it started to get hard because of fractions. I found it all confusing and it took me a year to get a hang of it and now I have forgotten how to do the problems so I no longer know how to do them again. I struggled with story problems starting around 4th grade because words in it would confuse me and I couldn't figure out if it was a division problem or addition or subtraction or multiplication. I could never do algebra and I solved the story problems in my freshman year but it was very hard to figure out. It was one of those riddle questions and then you had to solve the problem and the correct answers were on the side of the worksheet with a letter and when you get the answer, you had to go look for that answer on the side and put in the letter on the bottom so that made it easier for me to solve the problems. Lot of thinking and reading over and over and doing lots of math. It was a bunch of math problems in one problem because it was how I could find the correct answer.
