About this ebook
When my daughter Milla got down from her school bus she
just laid down on the sidewalk beside Sam, the neighbour kid.
I had to convince her that you learn by doing and also that
she was not not learning by letting someone else do her
homework. Later I was informed she that the reason for her
not to do her homework was simply a mental block that she
developed with Math.
I told her math was a small step by step process and that
taking each small step would lead to success, but that getting
behind would result in a mental block. She said she had no
idea how to subtract 60 from 80, but could easily subtract 6
from 8.I had to inform her that all she need to do was to do
the operations with only 10 numbers that she needs to
memorize instead of each and every single problems that she
come across.
For an example, I emphasized her the simple process of
subtracting 60 from 80 is actually 6 from 8, 0 from 0 and
then getting 20 as two tens. The mental block was already in
action, as was evident when I offered her a small calculator to
help her learn math, it became apparent that she was confused
as to which way to read numbers. For instance, she would
read 56 as 65.
It was certainly not dyslexia for sure at this stage but an
inferiority complex which compelled her to believe that she
should know everything grownups does. I told her it is difficult
to learn anything if you already know everything, as life is a
learning process even for us grownups. I also pointed out to
her that she did learn, as when she correctly answered 11 plus
4 as 15.
The praise was to encourage her not to give up in the face of
defeat; it was to provide her with the confidence she can find
the necessary steps to learn. Although some mistakes can
unfortunately be fatal, I ensured her that those of us who
learn from them expected to taste success. Life is also a
learning process, as evident with a historical evolution of
knowledge whereby we are either inclined to accept or deny
the established theory according to faith or necessity. Some of
us are more accepting; some of us insist on pursuing a
rationally full understanding of the world in which we live.
Some of us know only what we have been told, while others
of us challenge what we have been told for more
understanding of it. The history of physics is a means of
understanding its development as a step by step process.
However, the history generally contains the language similar to
that of spoken by mathematics and that is too foreign for
some of us to understand.
