I'm not so much a math genius.

I'm good with numbers (I can solve mathematic problems faster than 98% of the norwegian population), but when it comes to mathematic rules I'm more mediocre.

I have the math skills of a fourth grader.

I can add, subtract, mutiple and divide alright. The basics really.... plus I can fo fractions pretty well. Even then though I tend to make misatkes even with that. Beyond that though, and my mind just refuses to grasp and retain anything.

Nope. I can probably still recall the basic high school problems better than some math majors, though.

Can't do math at all really. I can add, subtract, multiply, sometimes divide (think I skipped that part at school!), and I can figure out percentages pretty easily [comes in handy when out shopping in the sales you see!]. Beyond that... nope. Useless.

Well I guess I have done a little pre calculus on my own and I am currently taking geometry since nothing higher is available for me. So I am no genius either (far from it).

I am only fair at math. I can perform basic everyday skills such as balancing a checkbook, but I never got farther than second year algebra in school, and that was when I was already at university. I was always better at English and other subjects requiring a lot of reading.

I am awful at basic math.. I still have trouble with my times table. I am quite good with more complex algrebra/geometry. I hate calculus.

I'm quite good at math. Mainly the more complex kind... I seem to solve everything in about the same time. 7-2= takes almost as long as x^2 + 24x -6...

While letters (and words) are musical, numbers feel like nails being hammered into my brain. It would be handy to have math skills, though. Good for parties, and whatnot. Or not. Either way, I would use said skills to entertain myself. And that's really all that matters.

I'm smarter than a 5th grader, but not by much. I can do basic math in my head, just completely backwards from how they teach it in school. For example,,,

34
x7

30 x7=210, + 7x4=28, =238

go figure...
