Good day…

⬆️from a few days ago, can you tell I’ve been putting off posting? :P

Hello my lovely Jublies, here’s what I’ve been up to:

Finished all types of study planning and have been following it for 3 days now

Feel a little more hopefully gcse wise

Feel ready to start posting again (god knows nobody’s gonna see this as engagement has been so low, my fault lol)

Finishing any notes/flash cards so I can actually study with them

Today I have done:

3h 49 min in total (using study bunny to track)

Corbett 5 a day

Some maths (algebra)

Chemistry on cognito and past paper questions on bonding

English language paper 1, questions 2 and 3

Geography rivers, just some reading

What I’m hoping to do:

Some flash cards (both making and revising)

Some reading of geography and history

Anyways if you have made it to here I would like to thank you for reading, and have a lovely rest of your day, it’s sunny ☀️!!

Signing off~

Maths is gonna be the death of me.

[cyberr-v0id]

Some people are so insufferable about maths.

I don’t mean like, treating it like it’s amazing and can do wonderful stuff, because you know what? It can do wonderful things when used properly!

I mean how I’ll be talking about how I can’t do maths, and someone who is way better than me and can do maths will be like ‘noooo!!!!! Don’t say thatttt! You’re great at maths!’

Or I’ll mention something like ‘I literally cannot do maths, I just wrote the decision symbol instead of the equals sign, and I’m not even doing a maths problem 😭’

And someone will say ‘uh, you do know that actually has nothing to do with your ability to do maths, right?’

WRONG AGAIN MATEY. If I am unable to distinguish between mathematical symbols when even writing them out for shorthand in a sentence, how, pray tell, am I supposed to be able to use them properly in an equation? How am I supposed to read when the question wants me to do and to properly do that?

Another thing I’ve had people say to me is along the lines of ‘I don’t think that anyone’s actually bad at maths, just that some people aren’t good at teaching it’

Hmm, yes, ok, see I’ve had- and forgive me if this is wrong, I’m not the best at counting- over eight teachers since being at this school, and I still can’t do maths. I had to teach myself ratio over the holidays.

The other day I had a maths exam. Real important one, fate of my future depends on it etc. I can’t get a proper good grade on it anyways because of how the system works, I can only get up to a five, so that’s two pass grades possible four fail grades. During the exam I had to keep restarting my questions because I had read the numbers in the wrong order (eg 16937 would become 19673) or written my numbers the wrong way around (eg 4 facing the wrong way)

I told my mother about it and how this has always happened and she, a psychotherapist who’s job entails recognising neurodivergencies in children, got upset that I hadn’t said anything to her before, because I could have dyscalculia and if she had known then she could have applied for support. But see, I had spoken to someone about it before- my maths teacher! Who should have been the perfect person to deal with this, if she hadn’t brushed it over like almost everyone else

You know what is also a symptom of dyscalculia? Not being able to distinguish between mathematical symbols!

So, to conclude:

Yes maths is great and can be really useful

Not being able to distinguish maths signs (➕➖➗✖️🟰 etc) actually has a big effect on one’s ability to do maths

Some people actually are just bad at maths, and your attempts at trying to convince them that they actually are good helps no one and just makes you seem like a privileged son of a salt biscuit

Not being able to read numbers in the correct order or right them the correct way round is also an issue with doing maths

Mathematical dyslexia aka dyscalculia effects a persons ability to: do maths, identify maths symbols, and read numbers in the correct order, as well as struggling to count

[lilacthebooklover]

"why has my maths teacher written 'cum freak' on the list of revision topics??"

"I'M SORRY??"

"C-u-m, f-r-e-q... oHhhh, it's cumulative frequency!"

[studying-space-of-annie]

Also so! Homework to do list:

- Reread the script of DNA (deadline: tomorrow)

- English creative writing- describing a picture (deadline: in 2 days)

- Chemistry- fractional distillation worksheet (deadline: in 2 days)

- Business online worksheet (deadline: no idea but like I've done it on paper I just need to submit it online)

- Maths worksheet (deadline: tomorrow)

There's actually not much homework, and the ones I do have can be done quickly n easily! :3

Maths paper 2

Gcse rambles

Looks like we're back at it again, starting off strong with my least favorite subject =_=

I had overslept cuz i had such a busy half term with no time to rest so i had 30mins to get ready and leave the house and i was so tired.

Anyways the exam:

I do edexel higher and i have no idea how to feel about that paper. It wasnt bad, it wasnt good but it wasnt neutral.

Anyway i had no idea how to prove the trapezium, how on earth are you meant to do that?!? I just stopped at X=25 lol

And that last question, how the heck are we meant to prove circle theorems. We learned the theorems, never how to prove it which was basically what the question wanted D:

Q14's graph at the end was all over the place (it was the velocity and time question) i had lines all over that bad boy and i hope the examiners will be able to read it :(

Also Q18 was just mean (the red,yellow,green counters) how the heck are we gonna have time to draw out all those probability trees, let alone calcuulate it all? Not to mention that green is completely irrelivant so they might as well have not had it. My page looked like a monstrosity and i have no idea if i got the correct answer

Anyway does anyone else do a pat down of their pockets while in the exam hall? I always feel so terrified i accidently brought my phhone in and could be disqualified if it rings

Also the examiners forgot to tell us to write our details at the front so they reminded us at the end and i realised i hadnt written my name and details and i was horrified D:

Man i despise maths lol

[kaliga-magna]

Trigonometry is dropping me to my knees, gripping me by my greasy hair, and, while it looks me dead in my helpless eyes, it slits my throat and tells me to find the angle of the blade. I am a weary butchered beast. I’m getting a 4 on my next test. The Fates have caught up to me and they cackle.

[kitkatclubcopia]

Dawg I am failing my resit

[origami-butterfly]

Kinda looking forward to maths paper 1, in a weird masochistic way. I love maths. I want to be able to do the back-of-the-paper questions for once, and that might happen tomorrow.
