[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hated Geometry because of the proofs but I am not a math person, it never came easy for me. I managed a B and was proud of that grade but it was hard. I also took geometry in 11th grade. Because of my math issues, I took Algebra in 9th, Algebra II in 10th, and ended with Geometry in 11th. I can easily see where Geometry would trip a kid who has been solid in math up to that point because it is very different.[/quote] That's because they didn't learn anything close to what passes for math. Math is about proofs, logic, and reasoning. It is not about memorizing algorithms and doing endless calculations without understanding. Geometry is the first time (in US schools) where a kid actually gets to try to reason deductively, from A to B to C. Think about that... not being exposed to this until high school![/quote]
