I am between sixes and sevens these days.
Not sure where that expression came from but it fits the theme of math, and numbers.
I am helping a grade 11 student with pre-calculus math.
I have been sitting at the kitchen table for hours a day doing radical problems.
It helps.
It is soothing.
Because there is, in fact, a right answer even if I don't get it right the first time.
I can figure it out, and get the right answer.
How come life isn't like that?
(This is a rhetorical question, but feel free to answer if you wish).
I actually think I would have more luck figuring out life than maths!
ReplyDeleteso interesting that in the UK it is referred to as maths. I wonder why that is?
Deleteit's the same in french : les maths, plural. I think that's because there are several kind of maths. There's arithmetic and algebra and geometry and trigonometry...I'm bound to forget some.
DeleteI know, I find it odd that others call it 'math'! I want to stick an 's' n the end of it!
