This is the official discussion on anything about Mathematics
I know there is already discussion that already “official” but I just really like math and language arts so I thought I’d make a new thread about math THAT IS NOT CLOSED (I put it in bold letters so others may know I am emphasizing it to make a big deal of it) unlike many other threads.
You are welcome to talk about anything related to Mathematics.
P.S. I am only a kid.

I had a math competition today. I think I got a 100 on the test like I did on my first competition.

I have a friend who loves math
She loves how it's so defined and set in stone, which is exactly why I don't like it
But it's understandable
Have a nice day

cool!
In my school we are seeing who will get to go to the Math Masters of Minnesota tournament. You see math masters are for grades 5-6 and last year when i was in 5th grade i didn't go to the tournament since i did HORRIBLE on the test to see who gets to go the tournament. This year on the practice problems we do now i think the questions are getting easier now 'cause back then the wording of the questions were hard to understand. Now i can easily understand them. I really hope i can get into the tournament this year so i can be on my friends team. If i don't get in it this year, I will be a disgrace to all indians (i guess not that much...).

I relearned about areas of special quadrilaterals like parallelograms, rhombi, kites, and trapezoids.

Lol that is EXACTLY why I love math! There is nothing to interpret, it is either right or wrong. That brings me to why I love computers, it is even more concrete, everything is LITTERALLY one or zero. Two options, choose one.

unlike writing, you cant just follow a formula and get it right, you have to be creative(unlike me) instead of just plugging it in

To me, math is boring
I'm good at it, I just find nothing interesting about it. It's just a bunch of numbers to me. No colorful concepts or discussion.
I'm currently learning parallel and perpendicular line equations.
A line with an equation of y= 7x + 19, and a parallel point of (5,7)
Find the Slope
7
Turn into point slope form.
y-y(coord)=m(x-x(coord))
y - 7 = 7 ( x - 5 )
Turn into slope intercept form
Distribute the slope into the x in order to isolate y.
y - 7 = 7(x) - 7(5)
Multiply
y - 7 = 7x - 35
Add seven to each side, like terms with like terms
y - 7 + 7 = 7x - 35 + 7
Add
-7 + 7 = 0
-35 + 7 = -28
y = 7x - 28

Sorry for the exclamation spam, but it was needed. i quoted it to save space. (press quote on my post to seem my actual number of marks.)
Math is fun, and easy, and fun.
I took this contest for math once. I got a 96%... I was sad.
But it was like... 2 PM... so I was getting ready to go to sleep and my mind was half asleep...
Wait, it was not 2PM, that was my local time. it was 11 PM in Paris.
Today I was trying to teach my friend geometry. He didn't appreciate it

I love doing math...I'm pretty bored in my math classes though...I'm in a class that's supposed to do half a year of pre-calc and then half a year of AP Statistics so it's supposed to be a pretty fast class but it feels so slow...

Everything before calculus is like that...unless you look a bit deeper.

Ahh slope. I remember learning that

I love maths
If you add up all my test scores from this year, I have 120 out of 120

I made a program with 20+ Algebra/Geometry/Trig formulas into my Ti-84+ Silver Edition for the ACT.
And I hate math.

I like maths.
My maths class is just right - not too hard, but not too easy either.
(This is probably because we're in ability sets.)

Its not just slope
I learned slope a while ago. This is with parallel lines. Still pretty easy though.

I love math because of that too! It's funny how people can love and hate something for the same reason. o__O

I find maths easy, so it's a bit boring. I love English, Science and Geography :3

The problem with all my math classes since 7th grade is that they do nothing but try to reteach you what you learned last year...
Picture a tenth grade math teacher explaining to students that infinity is, and I quote, "like, really big, man."

I have only gotten a 100% on a math homework a few times. I usually get around 2-4 wrong. Also, I'm really mad we're learning from a math book about 3 years more intense from last year.
I heard that the 6th graders in my old school are learning from an 8th grader's book. .3.
Allinol, I prefer writing, art, and gaming.

The forumula for the area of a trapezoid:
A=(a+b)*h/2
am I right
that's just what I remember
I'm learning about area of a circle and stuff
A=Pi*r^2

I am good at math
skipped 2 years of the most advanced thing
regular: 3rd grade math -> 4th grade math -> 5th grade math -> Transition Math -> Algebra -> Geometry -> Advanced Algebra -> FS&T -> Pre-Calculus -> A.P. Calculus (Finished Senior year)
me: 3rd grade math -> 5th grade math -> Transition Math -> Algebra -> Geometry -> Advanced Algebra -> FS&T -> A.P. Calc (Finished Sophomore year)

In everything else, there's loads of right answers, but in maths there's only one; all other answers are wrong. For some reason, it really annoys me when there's different correct ways of doing stuff, so maths is perfect for me
