Learning math, for some, is just as hard as learning a foreign language.
If there were no more than two ingredients, such as the words
themselves and the positioning of those words within a sentence, it may not be
too bad, but it is so much more. There
are tenses, and masculine and feminine to consider. There are inflections and dialog and reginal
differences.
Math is no better. Not
only are there whole numbers to deal with but then they break off pieces of
them. Now you’re working with only
fractions of those numbers. The smaller
they get the more you need glasses to see them. Soon you find yourself squinting and turning
the light up a notch. As if that were not bad enough, then they
want you to subtract something from something that is already a fraction of
something else. How crazy is this? And don’t even get me going on decimals. Decimals look exactly like a period, and yet
they can move around. A period can only
go at the end of a sentence but make it into a decimal and magically it can
move. Go figure. Really, stand ten feet away and see if you can
tell me which is the period and which is the decimal
