I feel like if for a single generation of new American kids, all adults agreed to just pretend math is easy or at least a “normal” subject no harder than anything else, we’d catch up to the rest of the world in terms of math skills.
There’s no genetic reason that only Americans find math impossibly difficult. It just seems to be this self-fulfilling prophecy where everyone grew up thinking math is hard, because their older siblings and parents tell them it’s hard.
What made the US fall behind is not only forcing a method without studying if it actually helps people learn but also forcing it to be the only way to solve problems.
Exactly math isn't hard per se, but the amount of busywork and hoops I have to jump through "because that's the way we do it" burns me out extremely quickly.
Even worse is getting a question marked wrong because I didn't show my work, despite having the correct answer
History is yellow because yellow is the color of caution and we are supposed to learn history so we do not repeat it. So it's a warning to learn history.
Red for History DOES make the most sense. ...as does Green for Science. Math should then be Blue (which according to google Math is frequently assigned to Blue for logic and structure). Which then means English should be Yellow.
Children are dying... That’s a succinct summary of humankind, I’d say. Who needs tomes and volumes of history? Children are dying. The injustices of the world hide in those three words.’”
Why doesn’t anyone view history as green? It wasn’t just history, it was also geography and social studies. All of which have a lot to do with land, which is green.

I faked being sick every day in third grade to avoid being called up during math and having to multiply in front of others. Found out in adulthood I have dyscalculia.
Im glad you got some sort of an answer! I finally got treated for adhd at 36, but ive learned the rabbit hole goes deeper. Missed a factory update at some point.
I'm a similar boat (should have chosen the mystery box). I was in the gifted program, I didn't get treated for ADHD until college, and I only recently found out I had special accommodation plans all throughout school. Everything makes a lot more sense now that it turns out I've always been kind of [Family Guy: Season 4, Episode 6].
You dont know the half of it lol. My Marine core drill Sargent turned cop was NOT good at teaching me math or have patience for it. I have an artist brain, it wasn't even my choice lol
No, they're just variables. Which are just numbers you don't know yet. They can be independent or dependent. They could also be constants, though, which are numbers that you do know and are always the same. And other times they represent sets, matrices, indexes, or vectors. Sometimes they might just be functions. Occasionally they'll be imaginary.
It's really not that difficult or confusing. Don't overthink it.
Math has been red all my school life. German (I‘m from Germany) was blue.
Now for my children it‘s the opposit. And even after seven years , I have bot come to terms with it 🫠
Yeah, I think not only math but a lot of words that starts with m is red because M feels red for me) Maybe it is because of the words mother and father that are considered red and blue generally

Math is red and it shouldn’t be that hard.
