least favorite math concept

What is your least favorite math concept? Why do you dislike it? What can you do to improve it? Find a link that will help you with the concept. Find two games that will help you with the concept. After playing the games, are you more comfortable with your skills? What else can you do to improve your skills with this concept? Make sure you link the research pages and game links.

My least favorite concept in math is graphing. I dislike it because it doesn't seem really important because it is so simole that you have learned enough by now to not learn it anymore. To improve this I think you would only need about 1-2 weeks on the subject. Here is alink about my theory. http://www.groupthink.com.au/2009/12/03/does-you-like-pointless-graphs-to-illustrate-your-point/ There are graphs that are helpful but learning at a certain excent is pointless unless youa re planning to use in your future.

  1. Kadin, usually realizing what is your least favorite concept makes you put forth extra effort and look for ways to learn the concept. I know that trying to teach others about the concept you are having trouble with is very helpful as it gets you to understand the mathematical concept better.
