How to survive in ‘maths’ world
I like maths from childhood also I like to help others
to solve their maths problems. Also, my favourate teacher who teaches
mathematics subject. While studying from UKG to post graduation I notice that
many students, my friends said, “I am not very good in maths”, “I don’t like
maths class”, “I am bored in maths class”, I need help in maths homework.
Although it is true that everyone is born with different skills and abilities,
characteristics, it is also true that most people have ability to learn new
things and acquire new skills that they never had before.
No one
is born knowing how to play cricket, hoe to make tea. Many of us never acquire
these skills. But after practicing these things we acquire these skills not
perfect but atleast little. Most of us realize that we could acquire these
skills if we were willing to do this work. Not everyone can be cricketer but
everyone could learn how to play cricket with practice. It also happens with
mathematics. At starting not everyone solve the quadratic equation, not
everyone can discover a new mathematical theory but nearly everyone has
potential to learn maths by doing practice of solving problems everyday atleast
one hour in a day.
When
someone tries to learn dancing for first time, they often confused or nervous.
There is too much going on at head. What steps do first, song lyrics and many
more things. Similarly, it happens in maths first class, too much is going on
at once in maths class, different - different formulae, numbers, equations and
so on. Mathematics is not about numbers, equations, geometry or algorithms; it
is about understanding. Make numbers interesting not boring. If our basics of
maths (i.e. addition, subtraction, division, multiplication) are clear we build
our maths building successfully. So, in next blog we start with pillars of
mathematics that is basic concepts of mathematics.
