Many kids have trouble with maths, but some students find it more difficult than others. These may be otherwise bright children who have a keen sense of logic and reasoning but still perform poorly on homework, tests, and quizzes.
Over time, repeated under performance in maths can cause a student to become demotivated and believe he or she is “stupid” or not good at the subject
Practice and more practice is the key
Study in the distraction-free environment
Review the problems and errors
Create a Mathematical Dictionary
Get to the core of the subject
Connect maths with real world problems
Understand the problem and try to solve it instead of leaving it
Learning maths at school elevates the student to a high level of knowledge. Whether you are a good student or a bad one, you are sure to have gone through the study of mental arithmetic, solving maths problems and perhaps even division word problems.
But among all that is taught, certain mathematical concepts and equations have gained a place in maths history as indispensable.
This is particularly the case for the following ten, which you may have heard about from your physics or maths tutor:
Logarithms
The law of gravity
The theory of relativity
The Fourier transform
Maxwell's equations
The 2nd law of thermodynamics
The Schrödinger equation
In following the school curriculum, maths classes lead us through learning trigonometry, algebra questions, arithmetic, Thales' theorem, calculus, linear equations, multiplication and division, decimals, integers, quadratic equations and more.
But in what practical situations, apart from maths lessons, quizzes and exams can we apply all this knowledge?
Here are some examples:
Doing the shopping and calculating a budget for groceries,
Buying a house or apartment: Calculating the rates at which money is borrowed, and repayments.
Cooking: Measuring weights, temperatures and mixtures.
DIY: Measuring distances, angles (sine, cosine, right angles), weights and volumes,
Getting around: Calculating distances, fuel consumption
Gambling: Poker, blackjack, bridge.
Before attempting such advanced applications of maths, we need to first learn to love the topic. This can sometimes be achieved through a maths teacher who happens to be particularly talented, or to lessons that are especially entertaining.
As far as maths resources are concerned, there are some that particularly pique the curiosity of a maths student, whether at university, high school, college or during private maths tuition: Mysteries!
Some of the great mysteries of maths have already been solved by great minds. Others still remain to be decoded, including:
The Pyramids of Egypt
The Sphinx
The Iron Pillar of Delhi
The mathematical genius of some of the greats: Einstein, Newton, Poincaré, De Vinci, Archimedes, Hawking
