EducationRe: How Did You Learn Mathematics When You Knew Literally Nothing by The5DME(m): 3:50pm On Mar 12, 2021
Baal18:
Pls am always having troubles with mathematics and I don't know if it the textbook am using.....




When I try I get some topics right and when I enter the next am always stuck.....and I will continue to stay on that topic for more than 2 days and still not get anything



I use integrated mathematics and I don't know whether it for beginners and I am literally not good in math but I have made the resolve to change....


pls how do you get along with mathematics. And what scope or textbook did you use to learn when you knew nothing......(I don't have a tutor and am ready to give my all if I know the strategies and textbook to use)
I have already decided I want to learn math, all I need is just a little bit of motivation from experienced folks to push harder from my current state to a better one.





ur advice is appreciated.......thank you.
Listen to me bro. No one who commented on thread knows how to solve the issue you're facing. Buying textbooks upon textbooks doesn't solve your problem.
Lemme tell you my story so you'll get what I'm trying to say.
Jss 1: I was a rather, dull kind academically. I wasn really interested in reading as I detested doing it and I was very bad at maths. I mean; very bad. So bad that I got like 30 something for the as my aggregate in 3rd term or so but was promoted because during my time, approximately 2010, Lagos state hasn't implemented the rule of 50 percent in maths and English for promotion. So I sacked through to Jss2.
Jss2: This was when I ran out of luck as Governor Fashola said if you don't have 50 percent in your Maths, you're not going to be promoted. I was still unserious and hanging out with bad friends, skipping school. But we ran out of luck as I and my friends all failed maths with me scoring the lowest. Imagine getting 33 as your overall score in third termin maths. So, we were to repeat. The day I went to collect my result and saw that I was to repeat the class, I felt my heart make a thud kind of sound.

My failure got to my bone marrow. I wasn't flogged at home though, but the shame of my failure was enough to punish me. I started going to school late to avoid seeing my former classmates in jss3. I hated goin outside of my class during break, infact; I hated myself for failing. I made a promise to myself: that I was never ever going to fail Mathematics again in my life. My journey to understanding mathematics began.

I was enrolled in a private lesson to be taught Mathematics only by a family friend. I was improving a little in school. For the first time in my life, I got a maths question in class right without assistance and that day marked the turning point in my life. I was like ' if I can do it, I can do it again'. I practiced a lot and I passed to jss3. I didn't go straight to getting A in maths though. I was still on 50-60 sha. I was not that good though, but sometimes; I still copied from those who knew more during exams sha. Jss3 came and we wrote waec and passed. Most of my friends failed maths and had to resit.
The major turning point began
Ss1: I entered ss1 and joined the science department. I remembered the first day I entered my science class, a guy told me point blank: "you don't belong in science class". Everything was going smoothly, I was still improving sha. But I never knew what happened during the 1st term exam, but I failed maths again since Jss2(the first one). I got a 49 and the way the score was announced ehn, they announced it openly in the classroom: ' if you hear your name, you passed maths'. I never heard my name so I failed maths. I nearly went crazy. I failed myself. I failed the promise I kept to myself that I must never fail maths again. I didn't want to repeat ss1 again.

So I absolutely made up my mind this time I WILL NEVER EVER AGAIN FAIL MATHS. This time, I had no private lesson. I was all alone in my journey. I set out to master mathematics but I didn't even know where to start. I wanted to start from jss Mathematics and work my way up until an elder advised me not to do that. Instead, I should never ever let any topic I'm taught in class pass by without me understanding it. An advice I seriously adhered to like a madman. I took it up as a challenge to learn Mathematics and further Mathematics all on my own as we had no further Mathematics teacher in my school. I practiced like hell. With candles, nescafe. I read and practiced till I started seeing results. I went from 49 to 60 and then to 66 in 3rd term.

By ss2 first term, I went from 49 in ss2 first term to 81 grin by that time, I had become a guru. I had defeated my fear of mathematics and sometimes I sat down in awe like" so na this thing na I'm dey fear me since?".I literally became a mathematics guru even to the point that I was noticed by my maths teacher. In my WAEC, I got A1 in maths and further maths without stress sef. I never for one day even opened any maths past question to practice anything while I was preparing for my senior waec.

I'll be writing jamb this year and I've covers everything in the maths syllabus since I was in ss2 sef. So, I'm not even practicing maths again. I've even learnt maths topic I'll be taught in my 100lvl in uni. Topic like : differential equations, complex numbers, hyperbolic function, integration (advanced one), etc.

The crux of my story is just to let you know that a lot of people ' fear' Mathematics. I don't know where this fear originated from but a lot of people don't even know how to overcome that fear. They buy books, go to tutorials trying to solve the problem and still fail at it. To overcome your fear and become good at Mathematics, you have to first change the ' beliefs' you have about the subject. That is what works. Buying textbooks and watching YouTube will not defeat your fear of mathematics. I sincerely hope you read the story I wrote, but if you didn't; then you're on your own.
Bye.
Maths is very easy and sweet.
I used: integrated maths by afolabi j. R, comprehensive maths, new general maths 1-3, new school Maths, hidden facts in maths and some others I can't remember. I solved every question in each topic in all the books I used.

RomanceRe: My Girlfriend Is Hiding Her Finance From Me by The5DME(m): 10:03am On Mar 12, 2021
pansophist:
The issue with most men is that they really have not experienced "true love" from a woman, hence, they don't know how it feels like, and will just accept any subpar treatments from a woman just because she accepted to date him. For privacy reasons, I won't be attaching snapshots here, but if a woman loves you, you won't even complain about this at all. She will not bother you with bills and help you save money.

Which begs the question, "why are you with a woman that doesn't love you"? Accepting any woman just to not feel lonely and/or having an unrestricted access to sex is like selling your birthright, it doesnt go well. You'll feel pitied, inferior, and powerless. The fact that you're asking online is a proof to that. You should be discussing it with her not us. And the cure is still and will always be the same, which is, develop yourself and get quality, better woman.

A woman that loves you won't stress you. You'll be elevated through her, women are supporters, and you'll feel that pristine supports that only a woman can give, if she desires you. Next time, never assume financial responsibilities to a woman you're not married to, it doesn't ends well. Let her go, and fix yourself first, then you'll command better women that will make your life richer. Be wise
you just got a new folower.

FamilyRe: How Is Your Relationship With Your Father? by The5DME(m): 8:36am On Mar 12, 2021
The last time I slept in the same room with my father was when I was I was 5. Now I'm 19, so we've not been together for almost 14 years. I don't care about my father. Whether he's dying or not, sick, in pains or anything; I don't give a damn. He was a weak man that let people manipulate his family, that's why I swore never to be weak in this life. I could've enjoyed my childhood more had it been he was around.
I don't even know the birth date of my father and he doesn't even know mine. He has never wished me a happy birthday for he past 14 years and I haven't also. The only reason I ever call my father is to ask of money, nothing else. I don't care about anything going on in his other family. So, my relationship with my father is not a good one.

Thanks for exposing that toddler. For someone to be quoting people's comments only to strike them out means he is both immature and stupid. Like someone said if you know the person you are exchanging insults with at the other end of the line, you will be disappointed in yourself.[/quote][/s]

[[s]quote author=Ugandatales post=99787727]For the next 14 days, starting today, don't fap/self service, don't try to get any girl's attention on and offline...don't look at seductively dressed girls/women on the street. In fact, don't look at any girl/woman at all. I can't stress this enough... DON'T LOOK AT ANY GIRL/WOMAN.

Don't watch porn too. I'm not a moralist, or even religious. A great untapped power lies within you as a man that you might not be aware of.

What would be the benefits of doing this experiment? You will get most of the things you want so easily.

*Girls will throw themselves at you in ways you would never imagine.


*You brain will be sharper for daily activities.

*Most of the things you've always wanted and worked towards but haven't been able to get will come to you easily.

*Things will just work out for you generally in ways they have never worked out before.

I know a lot of people will laugh at this, but to those that will try out the experiment, you are about to witness some magic in your life. Trust me.[/quote][/s] Una go just go dey copy and paste things from reddit or quora, come here dey form wetin I no know.
