shadowy healing morning.

greetings :)

hello all

all hello

science studying today

what kind of science?

then doing past papers

physical

physics + chemistry

ouch. real science. they lost me after bio.

bio is easy so is real science, you've just got to have the right teacher

too much math. no teacher would have been able to get it through my head. PBS helps, and silly TV shows. but its not the same.

math is easy too even admaths is easy all you gotta do is practice with the numbers enough, of course it helps when you have a good base + good teachers+ and enthusiasm for the subject

math is easy for certain kinds of brains. mine is not one of those.

 

numbers were easy until i was 13, and after that algebra and geometry were easy becasue there were few number concepts, all logic and words. math was never easy after that.

logic and words? like what? or did you struggle with number concepts?

like algebraic equations, they're sentences, and gemoetry is simple logic. the numbers, the actual manipulation of numbers, is not for my brain.

manipulaation of numbers = factorising, simplifying, rationailising bases?

uh....

 

addition, subtraction, multiplication, division.

 

like that.

.... you have no idea yet what you'll forget when you get out of school.

 

no spoilers

oh i have some idea, most of this stuff ill lose ill probably lose most of it over the holidays...

very good. i had mastered learning anything for the 40 minutes it took to be tested on it very early on. it's served me well my whole life. few things need to be remembered longer.

if you struggled with adding subtracting multiplying and dividing then you wouldn't really be that good at nearly any kind of maths but I guess you did maths before the advent of pocket calculators, or maybe not

we had calculators but weren't allowed to use them.

 

again, algebra, geometry no problem. anything else with numbers, no way.

I love my calculators

 

*dreads the day when she has to do an exam without them* :panic:

oh yeah calculators are the best I feel for you not being able to use them
