Answer 1

As one of the other posters wrote, "First, calm down". It's not the end of the world if you're not good in math. Most people do well in some others and not as well in other areas; it's very rare to find someone who does equally well in all areas of study.



Any subject can be boring when you "keep on getting the wrong answers and failing".



There are learning disabilities associated with all subjects. I had a student once who literally had to count on her fingers to add 2 and 2 and get 4, yet received very good grades in her English classes. Have you ever been evaluated for a learning disability?



You asked what you can do to try to improve your studies. You're on the right track, here's what I suggest:



- don't watch TV while you're doing your homework. You need to be able to concentrate on your homework, so getting rid of distractions is a good idea. After you've finished your homework, though, it's OK to watch TV.

- definitely keep quiet in class. Not only do you need to be quiet to hear what the teacher is saying, but, if you're talking to someone else, you're keeping that person, and others around you, from hearing the teacher.

- use your laptop wisely. You ask how you can "minimise my usage time". Just use your laptop for homework until your homework is complete, then you can surf the web, play games, etc. As far as using your laptop causing backpains, it sounds like your posture is not good. Try putting your laptop on a table or desk, instead of in your lap. Lying down to use my laptop makes my neck hurt, because I have to lift my head to see the screen. If your laptop is on a table or desk, your head can stay in a much more normal position.

- the flashcards suggested by another answerer are a good idea.

- talk to your parents and teacher (or guidance counselor) about being tested for a learning disability. One fairly common learning disability is dyslexia. When one is dyslexic, the brain "sees" thimgs out of order. For instance, "Susan is really smart" might look like "Ssuan is rellay smatr", You can learn to mentally translate this so it's correct. It's harder to "fix" "547 + 19 * 5 - 436" because there are a lot of possibilities: "745 - 5 * 91 + 643" or "574 + 59 * 1 - 364", etc.



My #1 recommendation is to talk to your parents and teacher about being tested for a learning disability.

Answer 2

All i can really say, is that some people are not neccessarily born with the same inherent mathematical abilities present in others. Some people need to work harder and persevere more to come to the same ending as others.



I admire your efforts with your studies, and my only real option is to start with flash cards, and work yourself up. Mention to your parents that you would be interested in a mathematics tutor, or perhaps look up some Mental Math games online so you can "Brain Train" a little bit.



Never give up, and if you care enough it is totally reasonable to assume that you will eventually become very good at math. Just take it slow, and don't let yourself get stressed out. Mention to your teacher that maybe you would like a couple extra work sheets to take home and practice with, im sure they would be more than happy to help you!



The moment you begin stressing yourself out, telling yourself No, and refusing to do all that you can, you lose your foothold. So never give up and push yourself all that you can. Sometimes it gets difficult when you don't fully understand something, but it doesn't mean your doomed. Talk to your teacher one-on-one after class. Or go to your school counselor and explain your situation. Tell them, "I would really like extra help in math, but I do not like my math teacher is the one to do it"



Sometimes older kids in the school will offer to help younger students with their studies as form of community service. I wish you the best of luck. But i know you will come out on top if you are passionate enough to try hard.

Answer 3

Alright well as for the laptop giving you back pains you might want to try using it while lying down



Maths might just not be your strong subject, im a pretty good student and i nail every class exept spanish, i dont know why but i find im working super hard to get grades that are easy for me in other classes



minimizing your laptop time might be tricky because thers alot to do on it, i think you should try distracting yourself from the urge to use the laptop, go to gym, walk a pet, take a jog, just get out and do something



hope this helped

Answer 5

First do me a favor and clam down. Just start with the simple stuff. Get addition and subtraction flash cards. Then move up to multiplication&division flash cards. Then practice the order of operations and go on from there. everything should be easy from there

Answer 6

well my friend maths is subject where you will found a student poor in all subjects will be good at maths and a student good with other subject may not do well in it so no need to very just deal with it and when you get a option get rid of it today many option are available which do not required maths.
