Math Is a Monster
Math is a monster! Mathematics is the subject which is commonly hated by almost all students. (mostly high school and college dudes). Nowadays, mathematics is almost always taken for granted. Most students hate mathematics because math twist brains; it needs great thinking or most specially logic; it is a though and confusing subject! ; and most of all Mathematics will surely drop the grades of students who hate it.!

But for me, I’m gonna turn things upside down.! I mean , I Love Math- though I’m not really that good at it. I love math because I am very interested in this subject. For me, math is a weapon, it is an instrument of the every days of our everyday.

Here is for the students who hate math most. :
We cannot escape math because simply counting your friends is math; or even telling what time it is is already math. We need math.

I say this because we use math in our everyday, and we are gonna use it whether we like it or not. :)

I admire the subject mathematics for one BIG reason, and here is how my math story goes:

Almost all my relatives especially my parents told me that I am gifted-I am simply wise. My parents told me that I used to sing at an early age, namely-1 year old. At the age of 1 year old , they told me that I can already count 1 – 100. They told me that I could easily name my aunts and uncles and never failed calling their names clearly. I inherited these traits or should I say gifts from my father. I used to be my father! ; I was mostly like his carbon copy on his high school days.

My father is a math maniac! He’s like a living calculator, he computes so fast but still accurate. I admire him as how I admired mathematics.

Early first grade; we used to tackle multiplication here at BSU, and often times my father gets angry teaching me. I always failed in memorizing the multiplication table from nos. 1 – 12. But can you blame a 6 year old boy.?

One morning – it was a Friday. My service is waiting outside and I

    Ever since I can remember, I loved mathematics. The exactness of it marveled me, while its complexity intrigued me. While others regarded math as straight forward, I believed that it required an ingenuity even higher than that of the arts. To me, a math problem was a chaotic sort of Lego pieces and the answer to the problem was the finished Lego set. The real fun was in devising the instructions on how to get from the original jumbled mess to the final pristine solution. However, the other kids around me scorned math and relished in what they considered to be more imaginative pursuits, such as reading a book or drawing pictures. If I could show my peers math from the way I see it, I was sure its beauty would astound them, and they would appreciate it as much as I do.…

    Mathematics has always been a subject that I enjoy. For me, it is simple. Numbers just seem to make sense to me. Even upon entering high school where math changed drastically- new terms, new formulas, and even new numbers that I wasn’t familiar with- I have managed to gracefully continue to excel in the subject. I can’t honestly say that I have grasped every Mathematic concept with finesse, sometimes I have even become overwhelmed by that coursework, but I have been fortunate enough to have phenomenal math teachers to guide me. Two teachers that I recall very well are Mrs. O’Neal and Ms. Peyton. Mrs. O’Neal was my tenth grade Algebra II teacher and I remember her class being my absolute favorite that year. She had an engaging personality and her teaching style was great. She was very persistent in the way that she explained things because she wanted to be sure that we all understood. Ms. Peyton was very similar to her, except that she possessed a more relaxed, wittier kind of personality. She usually had clever shortcuts and strategies that assisted us in grasping concepts in my eleventh grade Pre-Calculus class. Between the flair with which these teachers taught their classes and the encouragement and motivation that they provided after school, I have still managed to excel in math.…

    Originally, I did not enjoy math when I was in Vietnam because the teachers focused too much on strict memorization, while giving little attention to applications. However, when I started school in America in my sixth grade year, my passion for math developed. Initially, it was the only subject in which I excelled, due to my disadvantage of not speaking English, but eventually finding an answer to a math problem would become an adventure for me. I never gave up on finding an answer even if it meant working from sun to sun. Throughout my high school years, I have always maintained an A plus in all of my math, science, and Latin courses. Also, I was the student who scored highest in my school, a 98, on the Algebra II End of Course exam. I presently taking College Algebra and…

    In the aftermath of the previous year’s I realized that if I put my mind and effort in something I can do it. Math was a subject that I thought was going to always bring me down. But since my love for sports is greater I knew I had work I had to do, and now I actually love math. When given the chance I watch math video on YouTube. I have a favorite YouTuber names Vsause. His videos contain a mixture of science, math, and physiology. One particular video that is my favorite is when he is describing how humans have sent out many messages out in space that gives out a descriptions of who and what we are and things that are popular in our society at the time; as well as the coordinates to our location. It’s so interesting how math has a major part in life and in everything we do. When in geometry class I thought to myself “How is this going to help me in the future?” But later on, when reading the history of math, geometry is actually useful. We use if for many things like architectural designing, and in computer…

    Every parent with two or more children can confirm this statement to be truthful in every manner. This prevails that every student has a different way of thinking and learning, which should commonly lead to the fact that teachers should take this into consideration and teach math and how to solve math problems in more ways than one. Unfortunately, not all teachers do this, but in order for this generation to become successful, that needs to be altered. In order for a student to have the desire and eagerness to learn, they need to understand what they are doing. Students commonly get frustrated when they do not understand how to complete a math problem, therefore leaving themselves with the lack of want to learn more about the math topic. To fix this, I believe teachers should go out of their way to teach the student how to go about efficiently completing the problem in a way their brain understands based on their understood style of learning. This way, it will now make sense, and the student will now have several ways to solve the math…

    The teens of 2012 thought that the world might end was their biggest issue. As a teen of the twenty second century, I know how ridiculous their thoughts were. Of course, the world would not end., and it didn’t. However, the people of 1818 had a better reason to panic. You see, ever since that fateful year, the people of planet earth have lived without a subject known as math. Although there are several theories explaining the loss of math, I have been taught by my parents that the loss of math was because of a miscalculation.…
