Describe your relationship to mathematics.

Mathematics and I are cool peoples. I don't like it much, but it likes me. No matter how much older I get or what school I end up in, it just seems to follow me around >:( I appreciate it though.. I guess. Math and I have become deeper throughout the last few years especially now that I am taking AP Calculus. I guess I like it more but I am still frustrated at times.

Mathematics and I have always had a great relationship. As a child I used to do math problems for fun, yes I've always been a nerd. I enjoy talking about mathematics with others, I don't like doing math by myself. I struggled with math in college but with the help of a study group I was more successful. I love teaching math because mathematics is often a gatekeeper to higher education. I love helping my students be proud of themselves and gain confidence in their ability as mathematicians. I look forward to reading student comments and input about mathematics teaching and learning.

math is very interesting. As a child in Ghana I was intimatiated by math. I struggled with math especially in first grade so each time i got home form school my mom would teach me the times table or make me solve problems. My biggest challenge was division. We did not like each other. I always questioned why was math so important. when I moved to New York at the age of ten I started seeing the siginfience and that math is some how our unviresal language.

Math and myself have also been an amazing match. I am not sure if it is actually the challenge it provides or the fun it gives but i just love math. I always talked about math to my family, friends, peers at school, etc. I just love math.

To be honest math and I never connected. Although I understood concepts and the basis of math through my years in school, it was never my strongest subject. At times I do enjoy the challenges I face with math problems as I am a person that takes challenges head on. ..BUT after highschool i dont want to know anything else about math

I have struggled mightily with mathematics my whole academic carer and I cannot wait to graduate high school and not have to deal with it anymore in college. I am just not very good with numbers and the whole subject matter is very confusing for me. I have developed a strong distaste as well as a deep misunderstanding on arithmetic. Math has plagued my grades and ruined my average since I can remember.

Since the first day I ever stepped foot in a math class, I've always disliked math a lot. Every time I went to summer school in elementary/middle school, it was for math. But I guess I've been kind of forced to deal with it. Hopefully it'll get better...blah.

Mathematics and I are cool peoples. I don't like it much, but it likes me. No matter how much older I get or what school I end up in, it just seems to follow me around >:( I appreciate it though.. I guess. Math and I have become deeper throughout the last few years especially now that I am taking AP Calculus. I guess I like it more but I am still frustrated at times.

Math and I arent the best of friends...it is very difficult but at times when you get the hang of it it can be a great challenge. Math takes a lot of patience and it is all about the mind. You need to be focused on just doing the math because if other things are more important at that moment it just makes it very difficult. It is always a great challenge though and it will be around for the rest of my life whether i like it or not.

Okay to be honesty...we hated each other for quite sometime...when i was a kid, i would do it but with a face that looked like i was eating the ultimate sour candy...but as i grew up i realized the benefactors of math, soon after that we became buddies!...
