Wait a minute…math is great fun! It is like a puzzle you have to put together. I love algebra…fun…fun…fun! All A + in college (don’t hate me) K.D.

I envy you. When I took algebra my freshman year in high school, I expected to ace it just as I had aced math in grades 1 through 8. To my utter humiliation, I did not. It turned out to be my math Waterloo. (But I did just fine in geometry.)
Your comment reminded me of something funny that happened when my youngest child was five years old. My son, who loved math, was very eager for his little sister to love math too, and to that end he talked me into buying a very expensive math program for teaching her at home. Then he gave his little sister a rousing pep talk on the subject, attempting to infect her with his love for math. He concluded by saying, “It’s going to be fun fun fun!” and his little sister replied, “Till her daddy takes the T-bird away.”

Oh my gosh, that is hysterical! His little sister has a great sense of humor!! Awesome. By the way, I did not like geometry, but I managed to do okay. It was a struggle. Karen 🙂

Now that all of that is more than forty years in the past, I can’t help wondering if the teacher is what makes the difference. I had eight years of math in elementary school, two years in high school, and a semester in college, and I never had any problem with any of them, except for algebra. Maybe if I’d had a better teacher for algebra, it would have clicked.

Yes, this is very true, I think, maybe that is why I did not do well in geometry – a different teacher! Karen 🙂
