How did the visual thinkers learn math?

Post Reply New Topic

I have been known to use a calculator, and STILL get it wrong. I have NO idea how that happened. In my last semester of H.S., I took trigonometry. There was one instance in which the teacher told me I got a problem right, then realized I was looking at it upside down. How I got it right that way, I don't know.

I have mixed math skills. Advanced algebra is tough for me, but things like trigonometry/geometry/physics are easy. I read on here somewhere on here once that this is not an uncommon problem since algebra can be considered more conceptual but with the others you have 'visual aids', ie - shapes.
