Why Do People Hate
Math?
The way math was taught to them.
They do not understand the concepts of math.
Math is boring and too hard to learn.
Too much homework and studying.
Too many formulas and equations to remember.
Confusing.
Math is not needed beyond schooling.
I will never need to know this Math when I am older.
Different Types Of Math
Algebra
Calculus Geometry
Trigonometry
ALGEBRA : THE BRANCH OF MATHEMATICS CONCERNING THE
STUDY OF THE RULES OF OPERATIONS AND RELATIONS, AND THE
CONSTRUCTIONS AND CONCEPTS ARISING FROM THEM, INCLUDING
TERMS, POLYNOMIALS EQUATIONS AND ALGEBRAIC STRUCTURES.
TOGETHER WITH GEOMETRY, ANALYSIS, TOPOLOGY,
COMBINATORICS, AND NUMBER THEORY, ALGEBRA IS ONE OF THE
MAIN BRANCHES OF PURE MATHEMATICS.
Example: 3x+24=8+5x
(3x+24)-3x=8+5x-3
24=8+2x
24=(8+2x)-8
24-8=2x
16=2x
16/2=2x/2
8=x
x=8
GEOMETRY: A BRANCH OF MATHEMATICS CONCERNED WITH
QUESTIONS OF SHAPE, SIZE, RELATIVE POSITION OF FIGURES, AND
THE PROPERTIES OF SPACE. GEOMETRY IS ONE OF THE OLDEST
MATHEMATICAL SCIENCES.
Measurement
Angles in Degrees
Example
Acute Between
0 and 90 degrees
Between
Obtuse
90 and 180 degrees
(This math is a little harder to explain and just show some examples. This math is
starting to get harder and harder. With some extra studying, practice and help you will
survive.)
WHY DO WE NEED TO LEARN
MATH?
Learning mathematics forces one to learn how
to think very logically and to solve problems
using that skill.
Math really is important for your daily
life, no matter what you want to do. It's true
that not everything you learn will be needed
later, but you never know what you'll want to
do, and the more you know and have to build
on, the better off you'll be.
In reality math is the basic language of the
world, for everyone uses math in most
everything they do (often without realizing it).
“If you look at it the right way, math is not a chore of memorization,
it's a game where you start with a few simple rules and see what
more complicated rules you can come up with using those simple
tools.”
