my maths has actually been improving once i realized that I actually need to understand what is happening and not memories the solutions, i found it easier to solve problems and now I get 80+ for maths

Listening to you say, "It's not your fault" made me almost wanna tear up. Cause I struggle so hard with maths and everyone just makes me feel dumb when I can't do physics problems that actually require problem solving skills and because I was so weak at math back in school, it takes me so long to process things :( Thank you Amy!

To be honest math is way easier than history😁 i used to hate math, like soo much that i had lost hope for my math exams. I used to fail in math, then i started to understand math more, i use some apps like khan academy etc which make me to think what i am trying to solve. Now i get good grades for math 🎉🎉

My math marks have improved a bit. I moved from a D student to a B student. Now I'm aiming for that A+ thanks to you✨️

till 8th grade I was taught to memorise math, but then I started developing an interest in physics and wanted to try and understand math. two years later, I have somehow pulled myself up from that state and into advanced math, but I still do not have a well-equipped math sense. I really look forward to figuring out how to do it. thank you for your work!!!

Im kinda embarrassed to admit that i didnt pass school with math being one of many subjects i was so unmotivated with proceeding But you are starting to help me feel motivated to go back to school soon

I'm an engineer turned teacher. Not to knock teachers, but what I find is that "math teachers" are really good at working problems and seem to lack understanding of the utility of math. Their understanding is academic, where as an engineer or mathematician is a practitioner of math. I believe that is the problem. They don't often explain the why or the math, verses the how.

i love how you actually listen to your subscribers on what they want to learn! thank you sm!!

Hi wAmy! I did start Math studies in the 1980s. I went up to Calc II but I dropped out of college to study aviation instead. So, in 2017 (I am 60 years old) I went back to school, community college in CT, and I finished a degree in Mathematics and Physics. I am planning to continue my education to a bachelor's degree in Math or Physics. Your video is very impressive and true, I am surprised and happy that you have that solid concept at such a young age. Kudos to you! JJ from CT.

Summary: Why Some Struggle with Math - Math is viewed as the hardest subject by some, while being the easiest for others. - Secret to ease in math: developing math sense and problem-solving skills. - It's not about the number of formulas you know, rather, understanding the underlying principles of math. Role of a Good Math Tutor - Focus on problem-solving skills rather than just a bunch of formulas to memorize. Problem- Remembering vs Understanding - Students struggle with remembering formulas instead of comprehending the concept. - Problem-solution skill improves with deeper understanding and reduces the number of memorized formulas. - Math skill improvement is equivalent to enhancing skills as a construction worker rather than simply adding tools to your toolbox. Impact of Inadequate Teachers on Learning - Some teachers do not adequately explain mathematical concepts. - Limited understanding pressure students to focus on memorization of formulas, leading to difficulties when faced with unobserved problems. Suggestion to Improve Math Understanding: Three-Part Solution 1. Break down the mathematical problem into its foundational parts: Understand the underlying parts that make up the problem. 2. Review the tools needed for each part: Think about whether you comprehend each tool or concept, or merely recite it. - If it's the latter, seek further resources to aid understanding (like Khan Academy, YouTube videos, etc.) 3. Try to solve the problem yourself without looking at the answer key: initially resist prompt solutions and investigate connections between the problem's components, leading to powerful problem-solving skills. Outcome of Understanding Math - In-depth understanding over memorizing eases problem-solving. - Understanding prepares you for real-life scenarios better; since solutions are seldom provided. - Initial effort to understand the foundation will be rewarded long term. - Becoming a master in math is achievable by understanding the subject matter. Conclusion - Repeat after me: "Math is not about memorizing." - Understanding math concepts deeply is the 'real' secret to excelling in the subject. - Following these simple steps can transform your math learning experience.

who else failed math and are here to improve themselves ;-;

Thank you so much. I’m only in 8th grade, but already working on algebra and taking condensed geometry over the summer, this is going to be a life saver. Thank you so much 🙏

I did BSc and MSc Psychology. But then I rediscovered the beauty of maths. Now, like you, “I would rather solve one hundred maths problems that write one essay”. Well said.

Thank you so much! My teacher always compares my math-solving skills to others, making me feel the dumbest one that i literally thought memorizing calculus formulae would help but once I tried to do that, I felt overwhelmed and didn't just do it. But I somehow encouraged myself to actually understand calculus and it's helping. I will leave this comment and edit it every time I get a bit better at maths 2 Oct 2023- understood the basics of derivation (20% of derivation concept of my o'level is done) 3 Oct 2023-learned about permutation and combination (concept 60% done) did the homeworks properly but couldn't study for mathematics additionally. 10-oct-2023-learning trigonometry from the start (i know the basics but still wanted to revise)

Thank you for all your wonderful videos. I am sharing your knowledge with my daughter and her cousins so that they can be better students!!!

Amy you wouldn't understand how much this video helped me ! I watched it yesterday and I literally solved a whole chapter which i wasn't able to solve before. I literally LOVE your content, keep going !

All I can say is thankyou , btw im in love with the way you explain and suddenly drop the other clips , watching this till the end was worth it not just for math but the fact that you can you it eveywhere .

i’m so bad at math.

I love your smile you are always happy to share your knowledge with us. God bless you🙏
