Defeated by Maths Homework

Holy crap!!

Oh how I hate trigonometry.

My eldest is in S4 and asked for some help - after an hour...Google...and some swearing....

I wrote him a note to say I haven't got a clue and can someone at school help explain it to him again.

I have NEVER used it since I did it at school. Very very few professions do....so we do we still bother with it at basic level??

wholeheartedly agree.....homework of any kind sucks.....its bad enough we have done it once already but to then have to do it again with the kids is a flipping nightmare.

I'm always happy to help....I'm not daft and have quite a logical mind.

But this stuff - it's just.....NO

I was a weirdo maths geek at school

Trig was easy... for me anyway.

Still proud of my A at higher

Hope he gets it sorted!!

I am allergic to Maths in French and in English.

The National 5 books are useful. You can buy them, some teachers have some or the library. Also gives you the head up on what the curriculum is like for the year. Good luck xx

There is an app you can get and you basically take a photo of the problem and it solves it and breaks it down to show how to do it X my kids just think I'm a genius

I have a degree in Maths but have never used trig in my professional life, probably because my job involves very little maths.

Have used Algorithms and tangents but the sins, cosines etc lose me.

I did maths, and went on to study calculus, statistics etc Trig always tripped me up

When my kids did their exams I hid

I have a maths degree but never used it after graduation until I had to do some calculations using high school trig.

I had to google it. Sooooo embarrassed.

Always loved maths at school...had to do some revising when my daughter was studying, then when I was later.

Loved maths at school too....except trigonometry.

Sin cos and tan....could never work out which to use so i would work out the answer using all three then put down the one that "looked right".

My sympathy is with you x

In a previous life I worked in construction, required me to use trigonometry to work out angles /measurements, Dr Google helped direct me towards youtube tutorials, takes a bit of digging but different people explain the problem and methods to solve in simple English really helped me out, good luck with the homework

It's still useful for saying things like...

"I wish I was your derivative so I could lie tangent to your curves."

Most stuff I can remember, but couldn't remember Stats.

Nat5 books from Amazon, and You Tube.

It helped it click with my son.

What you use really depends on what you end up doing - I use trig quite a lot for work as it is needed for certain types of programming. I've not yet found a use for simultaneous eqns though!

Still remember a fair bit of maths

Got both kids through their highers and even some of their uni stuff

Problem is like everything else if you don't use it you lose it
