Are you good at math?
I pretty much like doing math, and math is all about practice, so I tend to do good in it.
Did you liked mathematics when you were at school?
I enjoyed math at the beginning doing simple sums but when things got really complex,with coming of geometry, I started avoiding it, but that was only for a small time. I remember, loving it for almost all times.
What was your teacher like?
My math teacher was really good at it. I remember, him making concepts so simpler that almost everyone understands it. For him, doing sums was not important but understanding the basic idea was and he made us focus on them.
What kind of things did you learned in math?
Initially, we were taught, addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. But, in later years, things got complex with algebra, geometry, estimating powers and roots and stuff like that.
Did you used calculator when learning math?
We weren’t allowed calculators until the high school but it was provided once we got into the intermediate. Most probably, because there weren’t any complex calculations earlier.
Did you find it difficult to do the calculation?
No, not really. For me, doing calculations wasn’t that big deal and I got away with most of them.
How do you calculate difficult sums?
It depends. If the calculations requires complex solving, I prefer using calculator but for the simpler one I rely more on my multiplication and addition skills.
Do you think math is an important subject for children to learn?
I think yes. Math teaches people how to solve problems or to interpret and understand data. These are the things one faces in real life and it makes solving them easier. Also, it teaches people to do simple and complex calculations needed for everyday life.
