I don't know if that is the kind of math you mean, but that's what we did at high school.

Pie charts are great for fractions. <br /><br />ROG, ABC Wednesday teamRoger Owen Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05298172138307632062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1535525493775623042.post-35357537568110454582013-04-09T15:34:59.867-07:002013-04-09T15:34:59.867-07:00I love math - my anxiety isn't just around mat...I love math - my anxiety isn't just around math, though, it's all tests of all subjects. Princess Nagger tends to have the same brain-freeze anxiety when it comes to taking a test - but more so with math, so maybe it's a math anxiety (even though she's good at math when she's not anxious!) :) Awesome informative (and fun) post, Meryl! :)<br /><br /><a href="http://stacysrandomthoughts.com/2013/04/monday-madness-saved-by-twitter-honor-menopausal-mother-nature-and-doppelganger-fun-random-tuesday-thoughts-rebel/" rel="nofollow">Monday Madness saved by Twitter Honor, Menopausal Mother Nature and Doppelgänger Fun: Random Tuesday Thoughts Rebel</a>Stacy Uncorkedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10084619026794128825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1535525493775623042.post-25994765327166337742013-04-09T15:25:57.080-07:002013-04-09T15:25:57.080-07:00As someone who has never had math anxiety - I love...As someone who has never had math anxiety - I love math, it makes me feel comfortable and happy - this was really eye-opening. The idea that for some students math is actually painful is a bit of a revelation!<br /><br />When I was very little I played "school" with an older cousin. She pretended to teach me math (although it was just nonsense.) No matter what I said she'd say "NO! You're wrong!" and pretend to hit me with a ruler. Maybe that's how she felt.New York Erratichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12910004748099284750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1535525493775623042.post-39048848027811661552013-04-09T15:02:11.198-07:002013-04-09T15:02:11.198-07:00I was pretty worried with my oldest and math.

He's just slow with it because he wants to make sure all the problems are right. He's only in 1st grade. I worried too much it seems.An Apel a Dayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05409392467947270395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1535525493775623042.post-5134096505109830972013-04-09T14:28:48.475-07:002013-04-09T14:28:48.475-07:00Oh GAWD!
