Penalised due to maths learning disorder

Recommended Posts

Frankly, I was very poor in Maths also. Always fail until Secondary 4 when I resolved to buck up and managed to pass most class tests in Sec 4 and got a credit in O level E Maths. Managed to go into the most popular Engineering course at that time.

 

If there's a will, there's a way. My regret is, I did not buck up my A Maths. I have few classmates who are in similar boat as me, and they managed to pass both E and A Maths. BTW, to debunk the myth that guys are better in Maths, we are all males who failed most of the time, but managed to salvage it at the last minute during O level.

 

Another regret is to follow the crowd and got into Engineering without strong foundation in A Maths. It was really hell.

 

What this parent need to do is, be realistic about the situation. She has already identified her daughter's strength. So, must well make full use of it, while at the same time try to solve her Maths problem. There's no point in forcing her into most popular disciplines which regretably requires strong Maths foundation.

 

Another thing is, too many parents are too KS. She correctly points out that she sent her daughter at young age to confirm her learning disability in Maths. This further strengthened her daughter's belief that she is poor / has learning difficulty in Maths. With her strength in English, she could present some intesting Maths questions in essay form instead and motivate her.

 

I am an example who do well in statistics, but sucks in Algebra, Differentiation, Integration and ........

I sucked in maths from Pri 1 till Pri 6 mid-term. Always see red on report card. No matter how much one to one tution by my aunties n uncles who were teachers also not helped. Then during mid-term, my Pri 6 form teacher who was also my maths teacher, gave me one to one coaching during the june holidays.

 

Somehow during that intense tution, my brian connected and I understood how maths worked. From then on, maths was my strongest subject. And maths is the only subject u can score 100/100.

 

Even in poly, I never took A maths before and always took E maths till O level. My score in Engineering maths was top of my class. Even I myself was surprised. Every other subjects related to math calculation, its either Dist or A.

 

 

I guess the child in the report is like me. U need something to trigger that part of ur brian. I dont know what that is but it is really a eureka moment.

 

 

I read every single word of you this post, it is inspirational; you are right for some children

Money counting so easy nowadays ..... -_-

 

Last week was at the bank deposit money. Gave one stack of notes in different values. The teller took it and placed on a counting machine at one go. To my surprise, that machine can count the different values.

 

They used to seperate and count accordingly but with the latest tech, all count in one go.... :ph34r:

Little Susie came running into the house after school one day,shouting,

"Daddy! Daddy! I got a 100 in school today!"

"That's great, Sweetheart," said her daddy.

"Come in to the living room and tell me about it."

"Well," began the confession, "I got 50 in spelling, 30 in math's and 20

in science."
