Take the PAIN out of math part 1

Why can’t I do math?

If you’ve struggled with math, you’ve probably been told before that you can do math. You just haven’t had the right teacher! If you’ve been told that, I kind of agree. Of course your learning style, your age, your curiosity are all factors as well.

If you think that you “can’t math”, then we need to settle that question outright! Why should you waste your time on something you can’t do? So let’s settle this.

What number + 5=12? No hurry.

Hint: You got two numbers, they add to give 12. One of them is 5. What’s the other?

END OF TEST!

Sorry I had to do that to you. But if you really, really want to succeed in math, you have to start believing in yourself a little bit.

Did you pass the test? Of course you did! Because if you haven’t figured it out yet, then you’re gonna keep working til you do. Stubbornness is one of the most important tools in math! When you are done, celebrate! Always encourage yourself and your skills will grow faster and faster!
