Weapons of Math Persuasion

The tools you need to get the most mathophobic student or adult not to give up on the most disliked school subject even if it appears that they were not born with the “mathematical gene.”

Pep talks, study tips, showers of praise, and no condemnation for failures are some common weapons of math persuasion successful teachers use to help students achieve a decent level of mathematical proficiency.

I Really Don’t Care About Math. Do U?

A slogan you wear on a jacket or T-shirt to tell the world how you feel about school math: it is as boring as dull wood, or as useless as stale food.

Prof. Smith likes to get attention from passers-by, so he carries a tote bag with the words “With Math You Can Do Everything!” stamped on it, while wearing a T-shirt with the message “I Really Don’t Care About Math. Do U?”

Singapore Math, So Cheem

When someone describes the math taught in Singapore schools as being too difficult to understand, or complains that young students are unhealthily exposed to an obscene number of brain-unfriendly math questions—“cheem” means “deep” in the Chinese dialect Hokkien.

Ahmad who could hardly understand Mr. Goon’s lessons told his parents: “Singapore math, so cheem. I gave up!”

math pro bono

A public service (that usually lasts all year) in which you voluntarily take time out of your day to help your buddy pass math class. Most common math pro bono's involve one American student and the foreign kid he's grown fond of and befriended.

Foreign Kid: "Yo dude I don't get this shit! What the fuck is teach talking about when he says cosine of 30 degrees?"

American Kid: "Get your calculator. All you gotta do is put in 'cos(30degrees)' and you'll get '0.866025404'. Simple dude. Are you going to be my math pro bono all damn year?"

Foreign Kid: "Yeah dude, we don't do math in my country."

Math

Math is a subject you learn starting from kindergarten relating to addition, subtraction etc. It gets harder and harder as you grow from kindergarten to high school. It relates to your daily life a lot and also helps you a lot in your future career. A lot of people don’t like math because they are not good at it. But, for most of the time, it is just only because they don’t listen in class, don’t try learning math, and don’t have confidence in themselves. Math is a really good subject, and algebra is certainly the best.

There’s going to be math class today, hooray!
We all love math class!
