Studying Mathematics has always been fascinating for me. However, I wish I could look at Math during my Elementary and Secondary school years the way I look at it now. Furthermore, thinking of test/exam during my high school years, it is still fresh in memory that my friends would lose marks on content-based mistakes that require explanation, but I would lose marks on silly mistakes out of text/exam anxiety and nervousness. This, as a result, affected my confidence in learning Mathematics. However, it is interesting to note that I would enjoy challenging myself with difficult Math problems and loved solving them outside of exam settings. My confidence was renewed during my undergrad when I finally decided to specialize in Mathematics.
As of my best Math teacher, I had him in grade 10 and grade 12/AP Calculus. One of the reasons I liked his class was the way he communicated information/content. He was clear and inspiring. I also wanted to be in his class for Math 11, but had a jolly teacher. It was fun to be in his class, but didn’t learn much. He also had strong bonding with the class in general, but I had trouble understanding him. I would count this as my not-so-good learning experience.
