Did you hate Geometry in High School? email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 96/100. djoyce71 (1625)   ranked 11 out of 6,542 in student1 year ago

Some students loved it, they even found it enjoyable. But a lot of them hated it. They didn't like familiarizing theorems and postulates, figure analyzing and proving mathematical statements.
Just like one group activity given (shown in the photo). Some groups enjoyed it and answered fast while this group found it really hard to answer. It was nosebleed for them. Can you count how many? lolDid you hate Geometry when you were in high school? lol

Yes. I couldn't make head or tail of it. My fault though. I had no textbook. The school was supposed to supply it, but they ran out. It never occurred to that I could buy or maybe borrow from outside sources. I almost flunked. Thing is, I still have the feeling I could have done better. When college came, towards the end, I got to really enjoy trigonometry and I got to wondering why the heck didn't I enjoy geometry back in high school.

happySo you enjoyed Trigonometry. You must have enjoyed Geometry more, because it's more fun. Well, you stated one of the factors why you didn't enjoy it. You had no textbook and maybe you were not inspired then.

happyGood for you. Congratulations!

Maybe you had good foundation in your elementary years, that's why you did not find it hard to understand Geometry. Good Math foundation is important in studying any Mathematics.

OH YES I did hate it. That's because I am really not good in proving with the use of different theorems and postulates.

I could not memorize all of them.

HAHA.

All I could remember is the Vertical Angle Theorem, Side-Angle-Side, Angle-Side-Angle.=))


myLot reputation of 96/100. djoyce71 (1625)   ranked 11 out of 6,542 in student  1 year ago

happyGreat! You retained three rules in your mind.


myLot reputation of 89/100. tonijane016 (933)   ranked 1,676 out of 6,542 in student  1 year ago

HAHA. Thanks.:) Maybe that time I was a little more attentive than the usual to my teacher.:D

I never liked Geometry because I never understood its formula or concepts or anything related to it. My teacher told me to buy the set of Geometry utensils which all of us can buy from the book store with a cheap price. After buying it, I opened the box but couldn't figure out what was the use of each utensils in it.

Until now I still could not understand how to use a Geometry set. Lol. Sometimes I would draw circles with it during my art class and it helps me to get a good circle shape. Other than that, I had measured something using one of the utensils.


myLot reputation of 96/100. djoyce71 (1625)   ranked 11 out of 6,542 in student  1 year ago

happyYou should have tried discovering how to use those things. And the teacher should have taught you how.

I don't even REMEMBER learning geometry in school let alone know if I liked it or not! I couldn't stand accounting though and I used to get extremely bored sitting in that class several times a week. It was just mind numbingly inane for me and at the end of the year I ended up with a score of 2 and a half out of 65 for my final year accounting exam. The Teacher gave me 2 and a half marks because I at least turned up for the exam and wrote my name on the top of the page. That was all I bothered doing! lol


myLot reputation of 96/100. djoyce71 (1625)   ranked 11 out of 6,542 in student  1 year ago

lollolAt least, you did something James. Well, maybe you really didn't like it.

Yes, actually it's one of the subjects that I hate, not only it's a nosebleed for me but as well as a headache too. lolI really don't like to solve geometry problems and to analyze the various theorems and all. I prefer solving algebra any day than geometry. And really thankful that I'm able to get by and finished it. happy


myLot reputation of 96/100. djoyce71 (1625)   ranked 11 out of 6,542 in student  1 year ago

happyI like Algebra, but I think it's harder than Geometry specially the age and work problems.

I found most math quite easy, so I liked it. Right now I work with a lot of kids, and I find that once they understand the math, they like it a lot more. Or at least they tolerate it better.


myLot reputation of 96/100. djoyce71 (1625)   ranked 11 out of 6,542 in student  1 year ago

happySo, I guess, you're a Math wiz.... Help the kids out with Math. Let them realize that Math is fun. Good luck!
