I like maths and I'm very good at it. As I'd say, I do calculations every day. I also like chemistry, but only inorganic.  I find it very interesting.

I didn't do my own kid's homework.  How else are you going to learn it if you allow others to give you answers.  Yes, you will need excellent math skills as an adult.

Success in math comes from paying attention in class and doing ALL of the assignments.  My daughter took algebra during 8th grade and got an A. She diligently did every assignment and most nights she had an hour's worth of math to do.\n\nAlgebra can be a lot of fun. I remember taking it in middle school and finding it a strange but interesting kind of math. Algebra can also be confusing and difficult, and many kids struggle with it. Do NOT try to understand it, just learn how it works and learn the formulas.  Math builds on itself. You need to do all assignments so you put the knowledge in your brain It's by doing problems over and over and over that you gain understanding. \n\nDo the assignments. Hopefully the text book your class uses will have good directions and example problems in it.  Read and actually write down the example problems too, especially when you encounter difficulties.\n\nAnd never tell yourself that math is stupid. So many kids complain about math, yet I find I use  many algebraic methods in my daily life, it is amazing.  Learning algebra will make solving math word problems much easier. \n\nDo NOT be scared or apprehensive of Algebra. You will take a school year to work your way through the concepts and slowly your brain will learn how to do the math. Your teacher will explain concepts, and often teachers are available after school if you need extra help.\n\nIf you are the kind of kid who is absent from school a lot, be advised that higher math is not something you can miss. You need to be in class every day. Absences can mean you miss crucial lessons and then you will struggle. A few absences during the school year are ok, but very many and you will find yourself having difficulty with the math.  Good luck and enjoy.

Teach High School Math

Algebra is really very easy. Don’t get scared. You can teach yourself algebra\nAnd never tell yourself that you “are bad at math”. This nonsense, so many kids are afraid of math, or hate it, or think it is boring, simply because they never had a good teacher! Otherwise highschool math is really easy, simple! I have tutored a, supposedly ‘mathematically challenged” 7-grader, and after one year, she knew the whole highschool curriculum and passed GED math sample test!

i think it is a right brain left brain thing-at a very early age i could do math that was way beyond my years and to this day i find it faster to do in my head than with calculator-when i was young i couldnt understand way people would have to learn math-i know now that it isnt the norm to do what i do-i dont think you can become a genius but should be able to learn the basics if you work at it-lots of love keep the peace old hippie

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.

At UC Santa Cruz in the early 80's, six other guys and I pulled the ultimate academically-oriented streaking stunt. During finals week, we entered the top of an auditorium-style classroom where a calculus final was taking place--butt-naked--ran down the steps to the front whooping and hollering, and. . . constructed a quadratic equation with our bodies! X + Y = X squared over Y squared or something of that nature. (You can tell I wasn't a math major myself.) Like a cheerleading stunt, but in the buff and pseudo-intellectual at the same time. As the little guy, I was the X-squared over somebody, perched precariously on somebody's back. The look on the professor's face was priceless, by the way. And yes, we did say the equation as we enacted it. Whereupon we exited stage right, into the service yard behind the building where we had stashed our duds.\nOne last note: everyone else in the group decided to wear masks for the event; I alone, being dumb as paint, went with just face paint... and sure enough, a week or two later, someone recognized me on campus. Aaarggh.

Some people are good at math, while others are better at reading. Just depends on yuor strong points. \n\nHowever, that does not mean you can never learn it. It takes practice, like everything. I am not a strong math person either, but I have made it through 3 levels of calculus in one semester. \n\nYou might ask extra help from the teacher or get a tutor. For me, practice and one on one help is what helps me. It is not something that comes natural to everyone, but once you get the hang of it, algebra is not as hard as it may seem right now.

In High School I loved Math, it was my favorite subject right with Biology.\n\nMy b/f is in College and he is taking Statistics and The History of Math and well the Statistics I hate, but The History of Math I think is fun.
