I am okay doing math now but really have trouble with remembering number sequences like even room numbers at college or an address number or bill amount..<br /><br />In class today there was a fictitious case study where the person had lost number and symbol recognition and therefore we should not plan on them playing cards in the normal way. Such an understatement of the impact!

Frustrating for a former math wiz. Math was my thing. I dread the day my kids need help with homework and they have to see me struggle with elementary work....ugh!!! I am so not the parent I thought I would be.

If I'm tired or under a mountain all progress goes out the window. Addition is great so long as it doesn't go past single digits. What's subtraction, multiplication and division again? This from a former math student who has taken every math and science class under the sun. It's maddening. Still writing a blog takes two days for me. But I can jot comments with little thought so long as my mind is quiet.J.L. Murpheyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11782355786883006411noreply@blogger.com
