shut up with the lies ....if your background in mathematics is poor , you can never excel in physics. Mathematics is the language of the universe while physics is the study of the universe.


you cannot understand the universe except you've mastered the language of the universe.

ABSOLUTELY CORRECT.....MATHEMATICS IS THE KEY IN PHYSICS.....YOU MUST BUILD AND UNDERSTAND MATHEMATICS AND FURTHER MATHS TO KNOW PHYSICS..

.SOME OF US DON'T KNOW THAT ADVANCE MATHS IS JUST PHYSICS...LISTEN "NEWTON'S LAW, FORCES. PROJECTILES, WORK POWER ENERGY, "MECHANICS IS BEST UNDERSTAND IN FURTHER MATHS.....DEY PLAY....

Jss1 English bawo

If you go grade A primary sch, you will seems good in jss1 and primary school English

reach senior secondary class first, that's when you will know if she's too good



Then you decide

Abujaexpress:
What career path do I advise for my daughter? Currently in J.S.S 1, she's so good at English language which has earned her several awards and commendations right from her primary school.

Although, this is her first examination at Faith Academy Secondary School, but she has started to draw the usual accolades and commendations both from her class teacher, particularly her English teacher who walked up to her in class to single her for praise as she scored 100% percent in English Language which the subject teacher acknowledged that the feat was unprecedented from her students.

In contrast, she is not as good in mathematics as she does in English language, which can be traced to the poor mathematics background from her previous schools, but I have made several arrangements to encourage her so that she can improve and get better in mathematics.

My career advice and counsel for her from the outset is for her to study Nursing or any discipline in the medical profession, but with this development, I am thinking otherwise, of she has to shift focus and major in Arts & humanities or to put extra more effort to proceed into the medical profession, particularly to become a Nurse or Doctor as we have envisaged and for which she has a strong passion.

Career advisor and Counsellors, come in and drop your expertise.

Do parents still choose career paths for their children? Have you asked her what course she would like to read? Does she have passion for nursing or any medical course as you are planning?

CaveAdullam:
Please, encourage her to study mathematics.

Mathematics is key. Mathematics is important.

Being good in mathematics opens a good path to success in the future. Either in STEM or finance.

Never encourage her to do arts and humanities. Except as 2nd or 3rd degree.

Personally, aside Mathematics, English, and Computer studies, students should not be forced to study other (irrelevant) subjects in high school.

Those 3 subjects are enough. Bulky subjects makes learning difficult. That's why many students finds it hard to do well in school.

Mathematics is a sweet difficult subject. It requires patience, determination, and time.

To help your daughter, find a good mathematics home teacher for her.

Break the mathematics curriculum into weeks. Use her JSS1 textbook to do so. Follow her home tutor to do this. From there you can track her progress.

Expose her to mathematics videos - quizzes, movies, competition, etc.

Reward her for every topic she learned and understand. Test her with the textbook questions. This will encourage her to learn faster and find the subject enjoyable.

Everything good takes time. Including mathematics.

Thanks.

Nicely put!

Whatever action you wish to take concerning guiding her down a career path, please remember that the decision should be entirely hers when the time comes. You can guide her, sure. But the choice should reflect her own interests, skills, and aspirations.

.. what about chemistry..does it have any connection with mathematics

Ibehchizzy:
how are you good in physics but not good in maths
Dey play

Omor nor be whinining o, I nor know how, but I'm actually good in physics but terrible in maths right from my secondary school days

Sonnobax15:

Most of us were good at a Particular subject back then.......But that didn't make us look as if we were dullards.....I was so good in physics back in secondary school that when I got into polytechnic,my first semester physics courses,I didn't even study hard but got A's in all of them.......But when it comes to mathematics,if I pass self,I dey imagine how come about . ,cuz I wasn't good at it all...

Op,you should sit your daughter down and reason with her.....At least she's still very young and very much likely to catch up......But in case she isn't interested in maths, don't force her...... Just let her choose what's on her mind and go after it ..

very good in physics but not good at all in maths? Wonderment

Ask her what she wants to study first

She has already told me she wants to become a Nurse or Doctor

I will closely monitor her progress. Thanks

Justiceleague1:
Jss1 it's still early. Just monitor her maths works and also get a private maths tutor to teach her basics.

Also more importantly,do not ignore her basic integrated science o....don't joke with her science.

Noted, thanks

Emeskhalifa:
Let her study linguistic, literature or any other English related course.

Who knows, maybe one day, she'd become our Ambassador to UK or US

Noway, these courses are out of consideration. Thanks

SAMBARRY:
She will make a good journalist,lawyer,lecturer or blogger

Noted, thanks

Hassanmaye:
She should study law

Noted, thanks

There are a ton of YouTube channels & textbooks that can make her like maths
Nothing good in life comes easy
If she’s so into languages she can learn Chinese, because they’re conquering the world
An African who can speak Chinese in Nigeria will never lack jobs thanks to networking
The Chinese have companies all over Africa
At that age, you can still mold her into becoming a T-shaped learner. It’s still too early
She probably has bad or wicked maths teachers
Maybe not student friendly textbooks too

Onegai:
Oga, she is in JSS 1

There is PLENTY of time for her to explore her career choices and make a decision for what path to take in university.

And bear in mind that even what you study at uni may have no future bearing on your career path, as I've seen Doctors become successful financiers and Engineers become great bakers.

So please free her. Let her push her Math skills some more and polish up the English skills as far as she can.

Noted, thanks

Merchandiservic:
Buy her rig light , open a YouTube channel for her to start teaching Chinese English lessons.

OK, thanks

ETHIX:
Please kindly get her a personal maths Teacher, At this level she can still be taught Maths from the scratch and don’t conclude that she is not good at it when you have not done your part.

Noted, thanks

uncleck:
Allow her to finish SS1 and see her performance in English language, mathematics, Biology, physics and Chemistry. Introduce her to one other language too. Her results after SS1 will determine...

In the meantime, encourage her to take on public speaking and open SM accounts for her...

Noted, thanks again

That's what she sings about

A career at Arise Tv is in her future...for people who like to speak English but have nothing in their heads.

I lie?

Jeezuzpick:
I was exactly like your daughter back when I was in Secondary School. Poor in Maths, or so I thought. Excellent in English.

I had A1 in English.
P7 in Maths.

I left school, read on my own, wrote GCE and had an A3 in Maths. It was before the current grading system.

I cracked the code of Maths, which is simple: Constant Practice, and understanding of basic principles.

I went on to University and am now an Engineer.

My advice?
JS 1 is too early to form an opinion about your daughter. Try to encourage her to practice math, and find ways to pique her interest in it, because, whatever her career choices are, math will be compulsory for her throughout secondary school. The worst thing you can do s let her believe she cannot be good in math from this early.

Thanks

Effect of nursery school Education.
Op, how good are you in mathematics so that you can assist her develop interest first. Once she has interest in the subject, her performance will improve

I am poor at Mathematics, but sound in English

teepain:
Well done @op. The problem is half-solved because you have identified the root cause which is the fact that your daughter's previous mathematics teachers did a poor job.

How I will go about it with the steps are enumerated below:

1. I will sit with her and praise her intelligence (citing the accolades from her English teacher as prove) and emphasize that she has the ability to gain mastery of any subject with her gift.

2. I will challenge her to use her intelligence to work harder at her maths and tell her that we are in it together as a team. And that I will provide all the assistance in terms of resources required for the task.

3. I will engage a maths teacher that has proven record of imparting skills to students at my daughter's level for extra coaching

4. I will get her a good maths textbook that has a workbook and make practice all the exercises.

Note:
Mathematics is one of the easiest subjects to learn because it is more of routine. Once you understand the procedure for solving a problem, you would be able to solve similar problems any other time.

A wonderful advice, thanks

You should get her materials that will make her like mathematics cus English and mathematics is prerequisite for most career endeavors. The more her choice the merrier

Abujaexpress:
Thanks

For senior secondary school students
I think comprehensive maths is the best for basic maths
Can’t remember a good one for further maths

I didn’t see any part where you asked this kid her dream career. I only saw your “career counsel for her”. You chose something you believe befitting of a female child and something you believe would bring you prestige. The intention might be good, but it’s all from a father/man’s perspective. Let’s start by asking what she’d enjoy doing as an adult so we don’t end up pushing her where she’d be struggling to stay afloat.
