Are You Good at Math?

I am not a Math-person either. I only managed to get good score in primary, but not highschool and college. Just felt the math concepts are getting harder and complicated. Thus not scoring well. Same here, I can only calculate simple stuff on head, beyond that? calculator is a must. Just wonder if my math skill is still at highschool level..haha :) I am definitely picking up my mom's gene as her math is also not very good.

I am not good in Math too, not when I was in elementary grade, not when I was in high school and certainly not during college and my gosh..even now,I have a calculator in the office and It's one of the most important things there sitting on my table. :)

When I went to school, we didn't use calculators during class. I can remember having these timed tests for math facts when I was in the fourth grade. They were die-cut sheets that you placed over your paper and the teacher held a stop watch. On your mark, get set. GO! We had to complete as many addition, subtraction, multiplication or division facts in one minute. My hand would freeze when she said go. Once I got over that, I did really well. I was lucky to have terrific math teachers. That is so important. If you don't have a teacher that really explains the concepts, you can get lost or overwhelmed very easily. Usually the "experts" say that if you like the creative arts, you use one side of your brain and if you like math and science, you use the other.

I'm excellent in math but not performing calculations in my head. However, I knew a woman who could both remember and add up long lists of numbers in her head, while remaining clueless about the theoretical aspects of arithmetic. For instance, she could not wrap her brain around a quadratic equation or a theorem. Go figure.

Hehe, this is really good discussion.You remeber me my school life.I was really bad in math, probably one of the worst in the class.Bt you know what is interresting I can calculate pretty good from my head and fast too.I just guess some stuff in math I cannot understand so fast like other people and I didn't take my time in high school to do it or we just had a bad teacher.

During my school days, I was known to be the best in every area of Mathematics - Algebra, Geometry, Trigonometry, but not so much in Calculus. My favorite is Algebra. In fact, until now I got students whom I tutor Algebra. And I'm very glad I still remember those things, I'm earning money from it now.

No not at all i am just average at maths it was just god's grace that i could get through maths at my school level

Maths come to me easy. Im logically intelligent, and most maths are logical in its content and calculations. But give me something where I need to be creative and I will fail miserably :D Cant draw a stick figure without a diagram ;)

I'm pretty bad at math. I don't know all my times tables as well as I should. I know most of them and then I add up or down from the ones that I do know to get the answer I'm looking for. I'm okay at figuring out word problems. I can help my children figure those out when they have to do it for homework or for myself if I have something to figure out. But, I try to avoid it when I can because I just don't like it. I'm not sure if it is because I don't have that "math gene" or if its just because I'm somewhat lazy and since it didn't come easy I just don't bother with it, unless it is absolutely necessary. I know enough to function in ever day life, but I don't get much further than that.

i am also not good in math my firend and i hate theat subject when i was tilla child. i even fail it many times bak in my elementary uears. now that im a graduate of college i found math very important and i regret i should have loveit before back when i was a child.mathematician are so in demand at work, because math is becming more a basic language in the business, technology and science world.

Hi wondericequeen. I am not scoring too high in math but I do like math a lot, not too good but averagely ok. Well, my dad English is fantastic and yet I wonder why I have a poor English. Haha.

yes,i'm good at math.i will caculate on paper if there more calculation.bcause i don't believe the calculator.

yes,im good in subject math,because when you want better in subject math you must prepare and everyday do the math homework..

You know what, there isnt really a thing such as good in math... Its just when you love something you get to learn it very well. but when you just hate it everytime, nothing comes into your head. well thats the secret why I am an engineer. loving something is hard, but it pays...

yes, i can consider myself good at math even though i am not an expert... but i can perform simple to medium maths calculations in my head quite quickly... thank God for that... i love numbers and maths is one of my strongest subject when i am still in school...

Eversince I am not good in numbers, I hate them and I get totally dumb whenever calculations are the subject. This is the only weakness I see in me, when I was still studying. I can be good on everything but not at subjects that tackles about computations and numbers' solving. The only branch that I can relate on math is trigonometry, and other than that, I am as stupid as a rat!LoL

hello wondericequeen;)I wouldn't say I'm good at Math cos that would be blowing my own horn but I'd say I'm OK at Maths and I can quickly calculate something in my head.I was actually popular for that in school.But I think it's a lil rusty up there since I've left school ages ago.

I don't think the ability of calculate is not the sign about good or bad at math.

Only a bit. i'm also a bit slow in calculating but I'm better than my other classmates. Some of them praise me saying that I'm so good in mtah, but in myself, I'm ot that good.(My parents are not good in math, why am I?)

maths easy for me for some reason. i use to do most things in my head during elementary but when i got to middle school my teacher started suspecting I was cheating and had to right down all the damn work.
