I had to do a bit of actual Leaving Cert Maths years after leaving school because people came to me for grinds, even though I never even advertised. That was years ago, though. First a next-door neighbour, and then her friends.freshpopcorn wrote: »One thing I'm delighted about is I never have to do leaving cert maths again in my life.
I remember teachers saying that algebra/etc was so important and that I'd constantly have to be subbing X and Y into things for various things thankfully I have discovered this is not the case!
One of the lads in work does a few nixers, and often comes in to me to ask "I have to pave a garden using a certain size of paving stone but I want buy the least amount of paving stones. The garden is this shape, with a jutty out bit on the left. How many could I get away with buying?". His measurements are always a mix of metric and imperial (for some strange reason) but I reckon he should have paid a bit more attention in Maths. I know that example is geometry but there has been algebra too.
On the trivially happy matter, I like helping people with that sort of stuff! Today, I also asked one of the IT lads to fix a problem on a shared computer outside my office, and in the end, when he got stuck, I fixed it for him.

If people came to you for for maths grinds they'd have known you were good at them.
You sound like one of my old teachers try to sell the subject but I am so happy all the stuff they've listed out to me haven't happened.0 -

It's not "being messy", it's just that some people's mind maps are in 3D! :cool::pac:0 -
