I couldn't do proofs to save my life. It's kind of ironic bc it's the wordiest unit in math and I was a future English major. Go figure. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-math-classes-did-you-do-best-in-and-which-ones-did-you-struggle-in#post-773982 Fri, 10 May 2013 15:52:16 +0000 mrs. tictactoe 773982@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Same!! I always did really well in math and went into honors Geometry and got my first ever C. I was so sad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-math-classes-did-you-do-best-in-and-which-ones-did-you-struggle-in#post-773974 Fri, 10 May 2013 15:50:10 +0000 spaniellove 773974@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Geometry and Trig were easy for me because they represented things I can see or visualize. Precalc and AP Calc kicked my butt so hard (as in B+) because all those equations...sorry but they all looked the same to me and represented nothing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-math-classes-did-you-do-best-in-and-which-ones-did-you-struggle-in#post-773925 Fri, 10 May 2013 15:24:56 +0000 Maysprout 773925@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Trig and stats I had trouble focusing in because they bored me to tears but I did fine in them. I really like math so the all the other subjects I was very interested in and did well. I was glad when I learned about geometric proofs. I never had been great at showing my work because math seemed very intuitive, and learning how to do proofs really made light bulbs go off in my brain of the step by step processes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-math-classes-did-you-do-best-in-and-which-ones-did-you-struggle-in#post-773915 Fri, 10 May 2013 15:18:04 +0000 yin 773915@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm Asian and horrible in math. DH got a 5 on both calculus AP exams. He will be the one helping the kids with math in school. I found that I did best in math when I had a great teacher. Most of the time I ended up with teachers that were not so great, and I would do poorly in the class. Once I even failed and had to retake it with a different professor during winter session in college. I got a B+. He taught the course in a way I could actually understand the concepts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-math-classes-did-you-do-best-in-and-which-ones-did-you-struggle-in#post-773886 Fri, 10 May 2013 15:06:16 +0000 KT326 773886@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Algebra was difficult but I excelled in geometry and trig. I also did really well in statistics. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-math-classes-did-you-do-best-in-and-which-ones-did-you-struggle-in#post-773873 Fri, 10 May 2013 15:01:42 +0000 petunia354 773873@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All, I struggled with all types of math! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-math-classes-did-you-do-best-in-and-which-ones-did-you-struggle-in#post-773870 Fri, 10 May 2013 15:00:18 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 773870@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I flourished in geometry and in linear algebra. I remember being amazed by how cool trig was, but it didn't come easy. Calculus was tough, but once we got to series and linear algebra, suddenly it ALL made sense!</p> <p>I just realized that Mr. Bee and Mrs. SKC are like my math opposites :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-math-classes-did-you-do-best-in-and-which-ones-did-you-struggle-in#post-773848 Fri, 10 May 2013 14:54:30 +0000 littlek 773848@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Math is my strong suit. But Geometry did not come as naturally to me as algebra or calculus. I always got A's in Math, but I got like 100% in all my math classes besides Geomtry. I was the person that killed the curve. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-math-classes-did-you-do-best-in-and-which-ones-did-you-struggle-in#post-773838 Fri, 10 May 2013 14:53:04 +0000 nana87 773838@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really hit a wall with Algebra and thought I was terrible at math. I think it was just needing a good teacher though--junior and senior years of high school I took trig and calculous with an amazing teacher and felt like I was finally getting it! </p> <p>for the GREs though, I had to relearn basic math without using a calculator, and relearning how to do fractions just about KILLED me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-math-classes-did-you-do-best-in-and-which-ones-did-you-struggle-in#post-773833 Fri, 10 May 2013 14:50:36 +0000 loveisstrange 773833@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Algebra is extremely difficult for me.

Algebra, I did OK in, not great, but not poorly. Pre-Calculus and Calculus I passed by the skin of my teeth. I did. not. understand. it. I still don't. Ugh. I haaaaated Calculus.</p> <p>ETA: In college I managed to get a C in a class called "The History of Mathematics." Hahahaha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-math-classes-did-you-do-best-in-and-which-ones-did-you-struggle-in#post-773823 Fri, 10 May 2013 14:47:01 +0000 runsyellowlites 773823@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: Same here! I didn't go nearly as high up but the same semester I was drowning in trig I was doing great in physics! Totally bizarre to me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-math-classes-did-you-do-best-in-and-which-ones-did-you-struggle-in#post-773784 Fri, 10 May 2013 14:39:25 +0000 Alivoo01 773784@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I struggled with Calculus. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-math-classes-did-you-do-best-in-and-which-ones-did-you-struggle-in#post-773783 Fri, 10 May 2013 14:39:20 +0000 blackbird 773783@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's not my strongest subject. I got C's in Calc 1 and Calc 2, but a B in Calc 3. I struggled in Thermodynamics real bad because of the math, too. Grumble. Thank goodness I NEVER use math at work! I don't mind it in a problem...physics, for example. But i hate 'just' math problems. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-math-classes-did-you-do-best-in-and-which-ones-did-you-struggle-in#post-773782 Fri, 10 May 2013 14:38:57 +0000 runsyellowlites 773782@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was horrible in Geometry in high school &amp; Trig in college just about ate me alive.. I managed to get through it but without conceptual understanding! I seriously couldn't tell you HOW I managed to pass! lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-math-classes-did-you-do-best-in-and-which-ones-did-you-struggle-in#post-773773 Fri, 10 May 2013 14:37:08 +0000 mrskc 773773@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: LOL! Nope. I don't even think I can remember how to do an integral on the top of my head. But I'm sure just a refresher and it will all come back. I'm civil engineering which I draw up plans in AutoCAD sometimes, so that's where my lack of geometry skills doesn't help me. I can do it, I think it just takes me longer than normal to think it through. I will probably need to relearn it for my professional engineering exam. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-math-classes-did-you-do-best-in-and-which-ones-did-you-struggle-in#post-773769 Fri, 10 May 2013 14:36:08 +0000 skibobrown 773769@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Math was always one of my strongest areas, but geometric proofs were my weakest subject area. Calculus came really easily to me, which is good b/c I'm a physicist and I use it all the time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-math-classes-did-you-do-best-in-and-which-ones-did-you-struggle-in#post-773766 Fri, 10 May 2013 14:35:26 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 773766@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was never as good at math as other subjects. I'd always miss little details even when I knew the "concept" behind it. But when I took Calculus, I hit a brick wall. I felt completely lost. I'd never experienced that before. I'm an English teacher, so I joke about my slow math skills all the time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-math-classes-did-you-do-best-in-and-which-ones-did-you-struggle-in#post-773759 Fri, 10 May 2013 14:33:09 +0000 LindsayInNY 773759@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think any - Math has always been my strong area! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-math-classes-did-you-do-best-in-and-which-ones-did-you-struggle-in#post-773754 Fri, 10 May 2013 14:32:11 +0000 mrbee 773754@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrskc: I didn't like LA either.

I always struggled more with geometry and graphs. I was good at algebra and calculus and I had to take all the calc classes in college. Linear Algebra sucked and was hard for me. I became an engineer go figure. Me who sucks at geometry.</p> <p>ETA: Oh and I was good at Stats too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-math-classes-did-you-do-best-in-and-which-ones-did-you-struggle-in#post-773748 Fri, 10 May 2013 14:30:56 +0000 lovehoneybee 773748@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I struggled a lot with math, and I didn't have a good math teacher until I was a senior in high school. I did okay with Geometry and Trig, and then Pre-Calc senior year (my school called it "Advanced Mathematics". I almost failed Algebra/2. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-math-classes-did-you-do-best-in-and-which-ones-did-you-struggle-in#post-773719 Fri, 10 May 2013 14:24:26 +0000 mrbee 773719@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I grew up thinking I was "good" at math... and then I hit geometry. Man, I had very little natural aptitude for geometry! Made me realize that math isn't just a single skill...</p> <p>I loved algebra and calculus... anything with equations and problem solving. Trig was tricky kinda like geometry was... basically anything with graphs and shapes doesn't quite fit into my brain naturally.</p> <p>Which math classes did you do best in, and which ones did you struggle in? </p>
