Anybody just struggle with math completely. I can look up countless ways to solve a problem and I still wouldn't understand the formats that are being used. I've generally always struggled with math, it didn't matter what it was, multiplying division reading stupid dialog clocks, etc
however I would still be able to solve the problem it would just take much longer to figure out compared to most people my grade & age BUT when it comes to geometry & algebra that's a whole different type of struggle.
I could be looking at different folumas formats & solution for hours trying my hardest and still not understanding wtf I'm doing, I have cried my eyes out so many times trying to understand problems with algebra or geometry. Like schools literally almost over to me & next semester Ima be in a completely different grade learning some other type of math and I've barely grasped algebra & geometry.
I had a lot of trouble with geometry and algebra too, spent an entire year not understanding it.
I also believe that if you are having a hard time, it could be because your teachers suck.
Math isn't really about formulas, it's about how you get to certain formulas, and if you are just at basic geometry and algebra, then you should be able to der...... 1 reply
