wat level are you at

[waxen thorn]

ohh very low, i cant even tell you, i even have problems with fractions and now Im even lost in the multiplication table xD, yeah is rly bad

[north plaza]

it really depends on what age ur at im not gonna ask but in general the way to become more fluid with maths is just immerse yourself with the questions that ur facing tbh

ask like a mentor or a teacher to try to help u find out what u dont know and what ur missing

[waxen thorn]

the problem is that today teacher showed me, well in a bad way because he embarrassed me in front of the whole class, but he showed me that I really cant do even the easiest tasks and thats why im asking for help

[north plaza]

any teacher that embarasses you is a bad teacher 😭

did you do something to your teacher

[gleaming pagoda]

Do u wanna learn maths out of interest or just to show your teacher that you r not dumb

Because having a clear intention is necessary to accomplish any task

[waxen thorn]

I know, I know, but I understand him because if I were in his place and saw the final exam result of a student he has been teaching for 4 years and who was very weak, he would also act in every possible way.

[waxen thorn]

these two things, I don't want to pretend to be an idiot and I also want to learn mathematics

[north plaza]

one thing a mentor said to me is to realize that teachers are actually humans as well

like i feel like i used to view teachers like almighty creatures that are scary but they just want you to do well

so if you genuinely go up to ur teacher and say you want to improve and learn like honestly then they would be obliged to help no?

[waxen thorn]

lack of knowledge, because showing respect to him is your knowledge, he is not a bad teacher, he explains well and if no one did anything (like me) I am not surprised that he did it

[waxen thorn]

if he doesn't do it, because he is taught on the old system, in short you have to work on your own first so that he wants to help you

but it doesn't matter how I should shorten it all, he just wants to show that his students got good results in the final exams, that's all

[waxen thorn]

where can I start because I'm already lost

What grade are you in?

what is your background in maths

Start learning concepts, not mathematical expressions.

A fraction is the division of a whole number by another whole number, it can be the expression of a decimal number, 1/2 = 0.5.

If a fraction does not have remainder, that means that there is not a decimal part in the computation of the fraction.

Division is not commutative, this means you cannot always change the order of the numbers and have the same result, 1/2 does not equal 2/1.

But, multiplication is commutative, example: 2 * 3 = 3 * 2.

Multiplication and division are opposite operations, (are they also strictly inverse?)

(1/2) * (2/1) = 1.

Everything that I said here is not strictly true in other math fields, but it's a start.

i’d probably recommend learning the multiplication table by heart (until 10*10), and then you can start doing long multiplication and long division

idk if this helps but multiplication is basically the same as addition but repeated. If 7 is multiplied by 8 then think of adding 7 together 8 times.

The opposite applies for division: if you're dividing 49 by 7, think how many times you can fit 7 in 49, or how many times you can substract 7 from 49 until you get 0? 7 times.

These are kind of basics but just do a looot of practice questions until you feel comfortable with division, multiplication. once you get bored of those start with negative numbers, exponents, graphing, roots (basically exponents)
