Why am I so crap at Maths?
920625
I'm crap at maths because I'm numerically dyslexic (I think it's called dyscalcula), so i see numbers jumbled up and have no concept of mental arithmetics. It's not for want of trying! I tried 3 times to get my CSE (it was a long time ago) and got a grade 2 each time. One of the hardest days of my life was when I had to do a numeracy test in order to do teacher training - I just scraped through - after weeks of revision and testing myself. If I can do it, so can you!

first make sure you have the basic math skills down, then do problems...do problems and then do more problems...lots of practice can make anything easier...unfortunately there is no way to get around this...

Sounds to me like your new trig teacher is stupid and doesn't see your potential and she might be afraid that you might actually be smarter than her.  As for algebra alot of the teachers do require showing your work on test is shows that you understand the problem and are able to preform all steps to get it.  I know in your case you can do them in your head but the work always needs to be shown.  Keep at it and try going to a tutor or when you turn old enough take a higher math course at a community college and get your extra homework from them.  Good Luck and i hope all goes well.

Why doesn't your mother already know that you are not very good at mathematics.\nMerely turning up for the lessons does not automatically mean you will pass. It is time for you to make an effort to understand and learn the work. You may need help with this.

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.

Your local library. If you have already taken it, try one of the 'Made Simple' type books and do the problems before you check the answers. You will be surprised at the dumb mistakes you make at first, but delighted with how quickly you get it all back.

Stop your reading and start PRACTICE! PRACTICE! PRACTICE!\n\nTo Ace in Maths - You have to practice till you feel your blood boil.. The more you practice - The less time you will take to attempt a question, this will save your time in the exam which allows you to revise.. \n\nFor Radicals and quadratics - First browse through all possible question "TYPES" and then start attempting them.. \n\nAlways remember: The key to score in Maths is Practice!

I can sympathize with you because I am terrible at math.  But, of they gave it to anyone who is "just not a math person" the whole testing system would be skewed and GEDs would become useless.  You did great passing all those other parts.  Your anxiety is probably inhibiting you.  Learn some relaxation breathing exercises and review a little math every evening.  You can also sign up for Adult Basic Education math classes at your local school board (or nearest big city).  You can do it...I do really bad when I get worked up, and that might be your problem.  Also, slow down and take your time.

Consider which subjects are your strongest and which subjects are your weakest. Then, study more for your weakest, and some for your strongest subjects. I have more trouble in Math, than in History, so I always study for my Math tests more than for my History tests.

PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE. I am a math expert and that is the way i developed a very quick mental math capability.

You need to do some serious studying, concentrate on concepts. They won't pose you with lengthy calculations hopefully.

Study, Study, Study. if your doing well in all your other classes, just ut your mind into your math class. Maybe take time before or after school with your teacher. Or maybe get a tutor?

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.

I failed college algebra, finite math and economics.  I managed to barely pass the second time around.  I'm terrible at math, I just don't get it.  I made straight A's in English and History type classes though.  They say people are "wired" certain ways.  Don't feel bad if you fail a class or two.  Just try harder the second time, learn from your mistakes, and maybe get a tutor!
