The universe and all it entails is all brought about by mathematical principles. You can integrate math with virtually any subject. Examples? Here are a few.\nHome economics- Doubling fractions in recipes.\nPhysics- Loaded with math. Use mathematics to prove the laws.\nLanguage and/or Reading- To stimulate comprehension, have students figure out how many of a list of required books they enjoyed by percentage, write a paper on books they have read and maybe even figure out the probabability of the next book to be added to the list using laws of probability. You need, of course to have the difficulty in reading and math to match the other and also the age and ability of the students.\nSocial Studies- Have students figure out percentages of cultures using the english language, per capita population statistics, and probability to estimate growth, or how many different types of money is used in the world, etc.\nWriting- Have students write an essay using words instead of numbers to figure out a determinant (presuming they understand the concept, of course) or stating how to determine percentages or to write out certain laws of mathematics in paragraph form. Written proofs can also be used to demonstrate inductive or deductive reasoning.\nHope the examples help.

Maths. I never understood it. Probably i nver had any good teacher who explained it in a way i understood. u will like a subject only if u have understood it properly

since you got access to internet, thats already a good thing. you can surf the net for math tutorials or lessons. use yahoo search and type math tutorials. there you can have your lessons. the best way to study and learn math is to solve and solve problems... in this kind of subject, practice really makes perfect. no memorisation needed...\ngoodluck.\n\nps. i dont think any education is idiot. maybe there is just something wrong with the system. why would it be called education if its not educating. \n\ngoodluck

I think it depends how old you are. If you're in primary school, then you should RARELY have homework - if not at all.\n\nI think it's different when you go to middle school. I mean, someone said that teachers are paid to teach. Well, pupils are there to learn! I agree that they shouldn't give too much homework (and meet with other teachers to see what the others are giving), but you still need to check if they understood! Also, if you need to learn history facts by heart, you're not going to do that in class, are you? As for math, it would take too long to do exercises in class.\n\nPupils tend to have too much homework because they often wait until the last minute (that's what I used to do!).

the trick is i think to really comunicate with all your students.\nyou have the odds in your favour, as teenagers love competition and they will do anything to stay on top of the things they find "cool". So, all you have to do is to make math a "cool" thing in the school you are teaching.\nthis can be accomplished either by getting a already popular student to be good at math, or by making several "middle" accepted students love math and brag about this all the time. Teenagers only care abuot popularity, and methods like making the lessons more nice and teaching measures that are good moves with younger children will not work.\nOr, you could catch a popular "football star" student that needs a good grade in math to keep playing on the school team or something like that... Now all yo uhave to do is to make that person like math. Give him free private sessions yourself or asign a student that you consider he might like.  If you get him not only to pass math but to have a real interest in math from then on you have accomplished your purpose. All others will follow the popular guy, so everyone will try and learn more and more math.\ni realize this is a little out there, and that it can not be considered a real teaching strategy, but belive me it works, it really does. Look at it this way: you are not playing with their minds as it seems, you are just doing what you can to give them a better chance in life...

talk to your math teachers, ask them what you don't understand so you can understand everything. so when they introduce a new concept, you can figure it out from prior knowledge.

What I would suggest is resitting a couple of your GCSES - maths being the key one. If you go to your local FE college they should be able to advise you on how to go about that and if you have a career idea they can probably advise you on what qualifications you need. \n\nHope that answers your question - I know its not exactly an organisation but they normally have careers services within the college.

well definitely u should practice for it cuz practice makes a man perfect. Try to remeber all the important formulas and definitely try to understand the question and dont forget be calm when u r doing ur maths paper cuz if u r going to be tension u r definitely going to do some mistakes and try to concentrate on the questions and try to answer them. if u need extra help for maths u should talk to ur parents and teachers about it.

- Follow your teacher(s) in the school.\n- Do your homework.\n- Try hard to solve the problems yourself before you ask anybody.\n- If someone helps you solve a problem -- take time to go over the steps.\n- Finally, practice, practice, practice.\n\nYour emphasis shouldn't be on memorizing. Math is not about momorizing, it is about concept.

Trust me I used to find math very hard work but if you keep trying you'll train your brain to think differently. It's like training your body. It takes time but in the end you'll find the work much easier.\nMy advice is choose a topic like fractions and nail it by doing plenty of questions. Then choose another topic like algebra and nail that too with plenty of questions etc etc etc. Do it in your own time at home because school isn't for learning, it's for preventing naughty children from vandalising things during the day.

Nope.  I hated math too.  But, you need it throughout life.  From simple things like calculating the tip for a restaurant bill to understanding how interest works when you are applying for a mortgage.\nIf you are having trouble with it, see if you can get a tutor.  Sometimes, teachers aren't very good at explaining the concepts and then you feel like you get left behind.  A tutor may be able to take time to help you learn at your own pace and show you different tricks for learning math and arriving at the right answer.

What kind of teacher were you?\nThere is a big difference between what a math teacher and a history teacher are qualified to do.\n\nYou could:\n-Become a writer\n-Work for an educational board (such as Collegeboard)\n-Work for the government's department of education\n-Sell items on eBay
