Hello Universe,
Here I’m sitting in front of my laptop, typing my entry of the day. There’s always this question that bugs me, who is exactly reading my entries on my site. It seems like readers on my site are the “quiet” kind? Well, make some noise!!! Afterall, Santa is coming to town!
I was surfing google on “How to get more comments on blog?” and I saw something written by the author “Only 1 out of 100 readers leave comments!” It seems to be accurate as I sent out an email recently to hundreds of my subscribers for their thoughts and comments after they have received the “Be a Squaring Expert within 30 seconds” strategy. Get yours here if you don’t know what I’m talking about
Yes, it’s the truth!
You can’t memorize Maths! Rote learning has been deemed as “study dead books” in chinese : du si shu. Yes you can have really good memory but knowledge learnt by pure memorization doesn’t get retain long enough and most importantly, it is simply a waste of time and resources since you can’t really apply what you have memorized to questions unless you have completely understand the fundamentals and the linkage.
The reason for me posting this up is that I was shocked to find one math tutor with this approach
I was rather unwilling to talk about this topic previously as I remembered I didn’t quite like triangles LOL ( Lame excuse!). Well, things usually turned out the more challenging something is, the more when one avoids, the worse thing get. In Singlish, we called it “Jia Lat” aka 1 Difficult, troublesome. 2 Severe, to a great extent; transf. very bad, terrible.” Adopted from singlishdictionary.com
I finally took the “courage” to face this demon & guessed what! I conquered it within 30 minutes using sheer eye power! Read on for a 3 minutes summary on this topic (more…)
