That was me. Algebra, Geometry, and Trig were required in NYS for the College Entrance program. I did it (Algebra twice), but barely. The three years each of Science, Latin, and English were a breeze.
In earlier grades, I remember the day when my understanding of “word problems” kicked in. That was pretty cool.
Math, for me doesn’t compute (no pun intended). Hubby has a PhD in Physics. He does math FOR FUN, and buys problem books 4” thick. 😱
Yes. I can do science, English & comprehension, history; no problem. I can understand physics and why things do what they do but don’t ask me to compute it!
