Everyone Can Be Good In Math

  • The misconception that the Sciences, Math
    particularly, is a subject to be feared has to be
    radically changed. The world has benefited from a
    lot of discoveries, inventions, and innovations
    by people who have the skill to solve the most
    complex and complicated Math problems in the
    world and thereby allowing mankind to enjoy the
    most advanced technologies and industries of
    today.

  • The world is interconnected. Everyday Math shows
    these connections and possibilities. The earlier
    young learners can put these skills to practice,
    the more likely we will remain an innovation
    society and economy. Algebra can explain how
    quickly water becomes contaminated and how many
    people in a third-world country drinking that
    water might become sickened on a yearly basis. A
    study of geometry can explain the science behind
    architecture throughout the world.

  • Statistics and probability can estimate death
    tolls from earthquakes, conflicts and other
    calamities around the world. It can also predict
    profits, how ideas spread, and how previously
    endangered animals might repopulate. Math is a
    powerful tool for global understanding and
    communication. Using it, students can make sense
    of the world and solve complex and real problems.
    Rethinking math in a global context offers
    students a twist on the typical content that
    makes the math itself more applicable and
    meaningful for students, as written in the
    article Understanding the World through Math for
    asiasociety.org.

  • Ron, who works as one of the long-time
    instructors in a maths tuition centre in
    Singapore, shared how their students in the
    tutorial centre developed genuine fondness and
    dedication to the subject, We start every
    student orientation with the benefits of being
    good with Mathematicshow great Mathematicians
    and scientists made a big mark in their fields.
    We also have good and comprehensive modules for
    the studentsand we are very generous in showing
    techniques in solving every problem.

  • We also practice transformative learningwhere
    students do not only listen to lectures but also
    get to apply what they are learning in the
    tutorials. They also have the option to be on a
    one-on-one tutorial class especially for those
    who need to focus in the subject. The teachings
    of Math is both practical and symbolic. There are
    a lot of pragmatic things that Math teaches us,
    at the same time, it has its own poetry thats
    why the most intelligent of people are lured to
    be good in this discipline.

  • Andrea, who just finished her month-long class in
    a Math tuition centre in Singapore, shared how
    her grades improved after that fruitful month in
    the centre, I think my anxiety toward the
    subject grew when older students would say how
    difficult it is to pass even Algebra,
    Trigonometry, and even more, Calculus in my
    school. It didnt help that our teachers in Math
    are intimidating. I cant even ask questions
    without feeling a bit embarrassed for being too
    slow. I tried to work on the book exercises, but
    I still find it difficult to solve situational
    problems.

  • When my parents saw how my grades have been
    suffering, they gave me the option to take
    tutorial classes. And true enough, those classes
    enabled me to be better and have confidence in
    myself. I thought it was impossible, but really,
    Math is about objectivity and dedication. I may
    not be a Math whiz, but now, I will never look at
    an unsolved problem without giving my all to it.
    I stopped being grade conscious and I focused on
    what I learn more than what numbers will suggest
    about my own intelligence. In a matter of a
    month, I saw how most of my quizzes and
    periodical exams have been getting higher and
    higher.

  • These Maths tuition centre have been around for
    years now and they have a great contribution to a
    lot of learners improvement in the subject, We
    should never say Math is impossible to master. If
    we have more people who are good in Math, there
    may be more discoveries in the future that will
    benefit the human race.

10
  • In fact, a lot of countries give scholarships up
    to the PhD level to people who can potentially be
    the new scientists and mathematicians of our
    time, shared Professor Melvin, from a
    technological university in Singapore. The
    Professor added, Anyone can be good in Math,
    unfortunately, only a few believe that they can.
