One of the applications of mathematics is surprisingly technical drawing! We speciallise in teaching it as well!

It's funny 😄 how I would give my little cousin questions to answer, and she would stylishly try to ask for the answer to the one she doesn't know.

For example, I gave her a "fill in the missing letters" question, which she asked for.

So, this is how it goes:

Her: I'm almost at number 12.
Me: Okay.
Her: But I don't know the answer.
Me: Oh, think about it. It's a word you know.
Her: Okay.

After about 2 minutes or so:

Her: I still can't figure it out. Can you please give me a hint?
Me: Okay. It's a color.

(Just so you know, dear reader, the word was "black" with the letters "a" and "k" omitted, as in "b_ac_.")

Then she came back after a few seconds.

Her: There's no color I can think of.
Me: Really?
Her: Yes.

I decided not to say a word. 🤐

Her: Can you give me another hint, please? 🙏

In my head, I'm thinking, "What other hint could I give you that wouldn't be the answer?" 🥲🥲

Me: Have you checked all the colors that start with the letter B? (I knew that I had just told her the answer by saying this.)

And immediately, she shouted, "Black!!"

And that's how she succeeded.

But I guess it's also fair to teach her how to figure out the missing letters so that next time, she'll be able to do it herself.

P.S.: She's very smart though. 👌❤❤❤

Thanks for reading!

There are some kinds of behaviors that some children exhibit 😳, and I feel like I have no choice but to condone them.

And I ask myself, why do I have to be in this helpļess situation? 😕😒

But you know what I do?

Oh, you don’t need to guess; I’ll tell you.

I pray 🙏.

Prayer is the 🔑🗝🔐.

One of the issues 🤔 I encounter as a math tutor is the issue of forgetfulness.

Most (not all) students tend to forget math concepts after they have been taught for a while.

Apart from continuous practice questions, what other ways can this problem be solved?

Let me know in the comments.

It's quite funny 😄 how people unintentionally make mistakes with word pronunciations, and sometimes even the actual words.

And when I say people, I mean adults, not kids.

*Note: I’m one of these people* 🤫🤭.

I mean, kids are believed to be young, so it's quite understandable when they make these mistakes.

For instance, my little cousin 👩 was trying to say the word "PERMANENT," but she'd say "PERMAMENT" 🤣. When I tried teaching her to say it properly, she said "PERMALENT" 🤣. It wasn't easy.
The popular sound "gwo gwo gwo ngwo" (hope I spelled that correctly) is actually "bo bo bo bo" 🤣🤣. I mean, she's a kid, so it's quite understandable.

Now, imagine finding out that I always call a trumpet 🎺 a piano 🎹.

"What!!!" 😳😒 Yep, I’m pretty sure you just thought that in your head right now, but it's true!

Now, I need you to know that I do know it's a piano, but "trumpet" just pops out of my mouth every time, and I don't even realize I said it until I'm corrected.

And oh yeah 😎, I’m not done giving examples.

My mum always calls "lyrics" "rylics," and I’m pretty sure it's the same issue 😑 as mine because she knows the word.

I could go on and on with instances of people close to me, but I won't 🤩🤩🤩. These examples are enough!

The bone of contention is: can anything be done about this?
And let me know about any word mistake you make in the comments. ❤❤❤

My secondary school days were really cool 😎.

Except I don't remember owning a calculator. Or did I? 🤔 Yeah, no! I didn't, not until my university days.

When I speak of a calculator, I mean the black-colored scientific calculator. 🙃

I haven't learned all that it could do yet—yes, the calculator.

Then I came across the Cãsio calculator.😎

I'm pretty sure most of you already know this calculator.

Even as a tutor, I haven't yet discovered all that it can do.

I mean, a calculator that can solve simple equations, calculus, and so much more! 😛😛

Now, don't get me wrong 😐 when I speak so highly of Casío. I am well aware that regular scientific calculators can also perform some of these tasks, but not as much as ćasio.

And yes, there are even more powerful calculators than Caşio, but Casió is more common now.

Yeah, so where was I? Oh! Yep.

So, when I see a secondary school student owning a Casīo calculator, I'm usually worried 😟 because what if he/she finds out all that it could do? 🤷‍♀️

Well, now you know 😏, reader (except you already knew before).

But you know what you don't know? How to go about it! (I mean, unless you already knew 😏🤣)

Tell me what you want to know in the comments.

Enjoy your day, readers 😊😘❤✨!

I was trying 😪 to explain a math concept to an SS1 boy

—modulo arithmetic, to be precise. If you’re not familiar with this (I mean, you wouldn’t be if you didn’t study math or any math-related courses, and of course 😉 if you aren’t in high school, even though some secondary school students might not know it), it deals with residues, meaning remainders. (Let me know in the comment section if you would like me to explain the concept here.)

Anyways, back to my story. While I was teaching him, guess what he asked me? 😏😏😏😏

Ummmmmm… 😏😏😏😒😒😒😒 Nope 🙅🏻, you guessed wrong! He asked, and I quote, "Who invented modulo arithmetic?" 🙄🙄

And in my head 🙄🙄, I’m like, "Um, we are not studying history here."

And guess the answer I gave? Yep, you guessed that right ✅. I said, "Google it."

So, it’s either one of these two things 🤔 that were going on with the boy 👦:

1. He was already tired 😫.
2. He was trying to understand the idea 🤣 behind the concept.

And, of course, the latter is the case 😂😂😂😂.

Note: I love the concept ❤ but not as much as I love you, readers 😘.

Thanks for reading 📚. Don’t forgėt to give me a folłow MIDA CONED online classes and show love by liking and sh@ring.

Two days ago,

A science student asked me a question 🧐 that I had never thought of.

Note: He is just going into senior secondary school.

He said, and I quote, "I was going through my chemistry textbook and found out that atoms take part in chemical reactions. So, does that mean atoms have life in them? Are they living things?"

In my head, I'm like, do I look like your chemistry teacher? 😏😏😏

Well, to answer this question, I would say anything that cannot at least grow or reproduce is not alive. And since an atom cannot do any of these, then it’s non-living.

Let me know what you think in the commĕnts.

Love 💘😻 you, reäders! 👈

I was shocked 😲 when a student told me that it's being debated on the news whether WAEC should be written by children under 18 anymore.

Please let me know how true this is in the còmmént section.

But if you ask me, I definitely won't support the motion, because why not?

Let me know what you think.

Do fôļlow me MIDA CONED online classes 🤪 for more updates.

Don't forget to 👍 and sháre 😉😊

❤ you, readers! 😘

As a student you should know that when you have a particular topic you don't understand you can ask 😉 God (pray) and read your books too
Because faith without works is dead.
