I love hanging out with geniuses

Teachers blame failure in mathematics on lack of concentration

A cross-section of teachers noted that until students braced themselves and stopped their lazy attitude, their poor performance in mathematics might persist.
The teachers expressed concern over the yearly poor performance of students in the subject in the Senior Secondary School Certificate Examination (SSSCE), saying that teachers had been doing their best to encourage the students.

An appeal was made to parents to also encourage their children by providing the necessary textbooks needed for the subject and also supervise them to work out the subject after school hours.

@ tawa temi

oh my gosh, i used to have this friend who made sure she only befriended geniuses.

seriously speaking, she only moved with guys who had brains.

if she found out you were brilliant, she would stick to you like white on rice. Study groups, exam preparation, etc.

i would seriously like to know if she had any male friends who were dolts?

i dont think much hate maths. Its the female that mostly hate maths. They dont like to crack their head. As for me,I like maths.

It's all about laying the right foundation. When you understand the basics, the rest will just flow naturally.
More effort must be put in at the early ages.

While growing up I hate Mathematics but definitely not all the topics there. I like simple topics like Chart, Statistics, etc,lol.
How on earth do u expect me to locate or find X and Y when I am not a Police officer or Vigilante? All these find,locate,what is the bearing,etc brings out goose pimples in me during promotional examinations.

When the time came then to write WAEC     , I have to spend extra time/days studying hard with mathematics geniuses in my class, my mathematics teachers (I mean all my mathematics teachers from Junior classes to Senior classes.) I even visited some transfered mathematics teachers in their respective schools.

I have this neighbour that we dont talk much, but for the fact that he was a mathematics guru (Mathematics runs in their blood in that family), I became his friend tipatipa over-night. All because of MATHEMATICS, But thank God it paid off cos I had A1 in it.

But believe me, I dare not study mathematics as a major course in the University. I no wan die!

People hates mathematics because:
1. Some teachers are not qualified to teach mathematics
2. It looks/ is abstract
3. The teaching aid/ method is poor
4. The fear of mathematics has been there from Nursery(Tender age)
5. Some students just dont want to know it at all

Till date, I still dont like it much,
