Question

What is it with people just wanting answers in the math section? Please try and learn the material everyone! The answer that makes me literally LOL gets my medal

Answer 1

2 many newbs

Answer 2

They have smart scores of like 30 or up lately...

Answer 3

some even in the 60s

Answer 4

But I swear, they make up fake accounts to get answers. Like, you see a noob, and you may give them a few answers because they're new. And if people keep making up accounts, they're just taking all the answers without learning.

Answer 5

may be they are not as smart as you

Answer 6

Maybe, maybe not. But what I'm saying is that some want the answers and not the steps

Answer 7

... driving me crazy. I sit there and attempt to teach then they'll start guessing and I show them how to check the answer but they still just stop once process of elimination occurs

Answer 8

Yeah, that's what I mean. Like, it gets annoying :/

Answer 9

and Math, first, I'm not that smart-if there is one thing college has taught me, it is that. Second, I want someone to try, I will explain material 50 different ways so they understand . You don't have to be smart to try.

Answer 10

@Loser66 what u think

Answer 11

To me, No one forces me to help others. Hence, no complaint if someone doesn't want to study. I am ok with that.

Answer 12

yea no complaints ,no demands

Answer 13

I get that. I guess, if you are asking for help, I expect you to actually want it. Guess it's just the teacher in me :/

Answer 14

One more thing: if I have free time, this site is for fun. It helps me fill up my boring free time. hehehe

Answer 15

lol

Answer 16

I chuckled at that! I guess I have a sad social life. lol

Answer 17

Somehow, it helps us to pass the boring time, right? hahaha.

Answer 18

Right :)

Answer 19

Can someone give me the steps to my question?

Answer 20

LOL>>>>>> LOL

Answer 21

Some people just aren't interested in it, unfortunately, but it's not their fault, it's the way we are taught it.
If you want someone to learn math you make them long for it, it's sort of like this for every subject.

Answer 22

@Knamzy tag @FibonacciChick666 at your post

Answer 23

... I guess. I will do that, but COMMON CORE is the death of math in the US currently

Answer 24

that and under qualified teachers

Answer 25

Common core is evil

Answer 26

It's so ridiculous

Answer 27

Sometimes I'll go out of my way to provide a more specific explanation because even though the asker is not interested, there are still others that view old questions and learn from them :P Plus I love to be critiqued in math (in a non harsh manner) so I learn and find new methods to solve problems by!

Answer 28

... I private tutor an 8th grader who was working at a fourth grade level when we started. Guess what started in 5th grade for her?

Answer 29

I dunno, what?

Answer 30

coomon core....

Answer 31

I've always had common core tho

Answer 32

I have many problems in my courses. I tried but still get a C minus on my tests, hahaha.... but it is ok to me. no pain no gain. That girl may be the same boat with me.

Answer 33

Behind the course is shameful. Keep helping her, please.

Answer 34

well, her mom is a high school Calc teacher, so... she gets taught the traditional way at home, but then is penalized when she uses it. She had a whole homework of correct answers and didn't get a single point because she used the traditional method...

Answer 35

wait!! why?? in maths, no matter what the method is, as long as you get the answer, you are ok, right?

Answer 36

yep! but no credit for the whole assignment

Answer 37

W.T.....???

Answer 38

yea. And now they are so fragmented that I'm not surprised she hasn't retained any information

Answer 39

:O that's a darn shame! My 6th grade teacher was like that, and I hated her so much. If you get the answer right, YOU GET THE ANSWER RIGHT!!! It doesn't matter what method you use, as long as you know what you're doing!

Answer 40

unless it specifically states use this method, I agree

Answer 41

Exactly

Answer 42

If I were her mom, I sue the teacher, hahahaha

Answer 43

`wait!! why?? in maths, no matter what the method is, as long as you get the answer, you are ok, right?`
Not precisely if the question says what's 4*1
You can't write 2*2 = 4 :P

Answer 44

BATMAN, YOU MAKE ME LOL XD

Answer 45

hahaha, there are many way to get the target, for example:
