Hi again @mathworksheets...remember me?
As to this post and my difficulty with math (basic math I'm fine with) it's the more complex formulas that were my block. I could say it was because I didn't get the answers to my questions as my brain required them and blame it on the teacher. But I did ask and wanted the answer but sometimes the teacher isn't as engaged as the pupil's mind...and as you already stated...each individual is different in how they learn. So poor input = poor output.
Secondly, and this came to me around the same time I was having these learning difficulties is I learn more by osmosis.
Always have been more of a concept thinker. I see the forest more than the trees. It had always worked for me and still does...to a degree. The brain get's conditioned over the years.
Math is the trees that make up the forests. The ground, the undergrowth, all the branches and leaves.
Now my good friend as to this challenge. I just want to drop a link here I think you should take the time to look at. I'm further from the finish line than you are...and this is not our disgrace...not at all...just a fact. A fact that we both can, in fact, change.
There is plenty of time to engage ourselves with others, at this link and I believe another but I just need to confirm with merej99 first. I believe I stumbled upon it last night. She calls them "fun posts" to help get others to comment 500.
So...do you want to complete the challenge? Do you want to have some fun my new/old friend. We can discuss many things there if you wish...or you can just comment to your heart's content with comments that are already there...it's all set up and still growing. Easier than picking slugs out of your garden.
You can do it if I can! Even if I can't I'm still going to try. Here is the link.

Remember you? I was waiting for you my friend!! Thanks for taking the time to read my post and leaving your excellent feedback. As for the contest I am doing my best (though I got some challenges at my work meanwhile) and learned a lot so far. I have 6 accounts belonging to my friends and family members but I never asked them to comment just for this competition and leave it up to them if they want to comment or not. My wife, son and dughter and two friends didn't do a single comment on these posts and they seldom did before. So I want it natural way to get comments and also doing an experiment.
I just did a post for the help on comments and it did give some boost but also boost to my confidence to ask for the help from community if I need it.
Getting help from the anchor thrown by @merej99 is great idea but it is not part of my experiment so I didn't go for it. My plan was to enter the competition and write my sincere posts and leave the commenting part on the community and I am sticking to that.
