I did fine at it, and actualy found the patterns thrilling due to some really off the wall, creative and fun teachers . . . until 10th grade when I got a dry, boring, teacher that was just biding his time till retirement, and I began to dislike it. I took the minimum math required at BYU, then swore off the stuff. Fast forward 15 years, and I found myself immersed in the mathamatics of musical theory as I began to write harp music. Math and its patterns became fascitinatig again. Music is all mathamatical, and it is quite amazing. Thanks for a thought provoking blog.Cindy R.

I think I'll wait until one of my teenagers has to take it and we'll do it together.Stacyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10907940147526374990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3723124266752750306.post-33961942013495850702009-03-06T07:03:00.000-07:002009-03-06T07:03:00.000-07:00Sarah I had very much the same experience.

And why it's important even if you don't get it. It's about learning how to solve problems. And yes I saw immediately how it related to writing.
