I’m gonna be honest y’all, all throughout my life people have given me so much shit for asking why something happens- repeatedly calling me childlike, telling me that’s just the way it is, it is what it is, etc. Shit sucks
Bringing this back to math though, the best math teachers I’ve ever had didn’t see a problem with providing the “why” and when that was given, I kinda succeeded. Who could’ve guessed, I didn’t hate math and thought there was a chance that I could do it if someone explained it in my language!
Trying to relearn some stuff for my own benefit, thought this new comm might be a good place to start my journey so let me know if you have any suggestions!
I think college algebra is where I kinda ended. Granted, I passed a discrete course, but it was during Covid so that was basically a farce. I’d probably struggle if you asked me anything about it tbh
I’m probably thinking of some kind of proof based literature but at an elementary level?
