These Stupid Estimates

By antonella_miller_ October 22, 2020 17 answers Last updated October 22, 2020

Hello, I am 12 (5th grade) years old, I recently got 3 in math (the only difficult subject for me), and now again, I study a lot but there is no one to explain to me mom and dad are at work all day and my sister is smaller, the gentleman is terrible and has classmates to whom he gives to make new controls. The problem is not in the threesome itself, but in my mother, who is so strict that I can study all day and she won't stop me, and she still doesn't know that I even have 3. Should I tell her

   Well, look, I don't think your mother will kill you for 3. Don't hide it, my mother always tells me to share her grades, because sooner or later it is revealed / by teachers, by the notebook /. Or there is another option - get 1 or 2 sixes and only then share the three. Next time, study more and try not to fall into such situations (I know it's hard, and math is a problem for me: D) I'm glad I'm still reading about such problems for children your age :) Good luck.

   You better tell her, because then you can argue. And when one of your parents is free, tell him that you have math problems, and if he can help you. ~ ImmortalSilence ~

   "I can study all day and she doesn't stop me" What do you mean? Should she stop you? You have no idea what it's like for a parent to watch his child learn :)

   If you are in 5th grade, you should study fractions now. They don't need a lot of learning, you just have to understand them and remember some simple rules. It's nice to tell your mother to sit down and explain them to you. As a last resort, sit alone and read the whole part of the textbook, there are some sentences on a colored background where the rules are written.

   Look now, I also had 3 in 5th grade and now I have it again but I understand the tasks, don't worry, you will fix it at 6, don't pay attention to this gentleman, it's good for me that she is a lady, so that she can explain them to me and it's easier for me I wish you to fix the 3rd and to have only good grades I don't know which subject you are good at but math is important

   Don't you have counseling at school? Go and ask the gentleman what you did not understand (nothing that makes you sick .. it is important to understand the lessons, what about the fact that there are favorites? ..)

   If you have acquaintances from the upper classes, ask them if they can help you.

   You better tell your mother. She will understand anyway, but the better option is for her to be with you :) Otherwise, since she is so strict, she should always pay you some attention to the lessons, homework, etc. Since you can't ask the terrible you are a gentleman to explain the tasks to you, it is completely normal to ask for help from your parents. No matter when. When I had similar problems, I solved up to 1-2 hours at night tasks with my mother (after returning from work, to rest, to prepare, to watch the news, etc., but in the end it is always there is time to help me) so you better tell me about the 3rd, ask them to explain your things to you, because if you keep quiet now and miss things, it will become even more complicated in the future.

   Better share with your mother and really get someone to help you with them .. because in 5th grade I was having fun and I was not interested in these fractions at all .. and now that I am in 9th grade I want to go back in time and to learn them, because except for 3s with 300 zor .. I have no other grades in MATHEMATICS!

   Dear Author, First - for the evaluation - hide it! It is very likely that they will scold you and rub salt on your head for this threesome, but later it will only get worse. Second - if you do not understand something, why not ask here? Maybe some of the writers here can explain it to you. :) Greetings!

   Hi, I'm in 5th grade like you. I admit, the material is not easy, but it is not who knows how difficult. And my teacher is a gentleman. And he has favorites (I'm one of them) and you shouldn't hate your master for being there, because the teachers are here to teach us and they won't waste their time with drummers who are too lazy to think and read. They will deal with students who have potential. My master teaches very well, but there are still students who do not understand and this is their problem. I recommend that you read 6 from the textbook and review your notebook for class work, decide if you have the opportunity for additional tasks and take part, because time is running out and you have to correct the grade. Good luck!!!

   I had the same problem when I was little and I know it's not easy to tell your parents about poor grades. I advise you to tell them, because that way they will have the opportunity to help you and "get on the rails". The things that are taught in 5th, 6th and 7th grade are the basis of Algebra and Geometry, and if they are not understood, it is unlikely that you will understand the following things. Sooner or later, they will understand, even if you decide not to tell them right now. Then, however, it will be too late to solve the problem and you may not understand some of the things you have been taught.

   And I'm 12! Moreover, mathematics is my easiest subject (and the most interesting and enjoyable) I can help you! Write here what is unclear to you - I will explain! When asked if you tell your mother - believe me, my mother always understands when I have a problem, so even if you don't tell her, she will understand!
