Is there anyway to get good at math? or am I doomed? I have trouble with basic multiplication most of time.
Pic is me attempting to do some basic problems and failing

Change the way you think of numbers. When I do multiplication I break it down in my head. I don't think 8x7=56 I break it down into 7x2x2x2 so I just double it each time. 7,14,28,56.
If I am multiplying by an odd number then I double and add one of the original. 7x5 is 7x2x2+7. or 7,14,28,35.
Lastly when I look at addition I think of how much they are under base 10 and subtract. For instance 8 is 2 less than 10 so I would add 10 and minus 2.
37+8
47-2
45
This is my particular brand of math retardation and I have no idea if it will help you but try looking at numbers differently and it might help.

I think your problem is that you're not neat enough.

Focus on the task, weeb. Also, learn your stroke orders. That chicken scratch is disgraceful.
Jacob Kelly
Practice practice practice. You'll get better at learning it if you put the effort in. I used to hate math, especially when my parents would try and teach me it because I suck at learning things verbally and get demotivated easily.
For college I've been printing up instructions on how to solve things, work through it myself, and then have my roommate who is much better at math check me. Think of it as a skill or a hobby you want to improve as opposed to work.

I only really messed up on my ス

It all looks like shit. It's obvious you have no idea what you're doing.
Carter Cox
What the fuck are you looking at?
It looks fine compared to the actual thing, I really don’t see what is wrong with it

Maybe you should stop being ignorant and learn your strokes instead of defending your amateurish attempt at written Japanese. Your lack of ability to objectively take criticism and your delusional evaluation of your abilities is probably a huge roadblock in your mathematical ability.
Jaxson Stewart
Fine, all it really comes down to is that my handwriting is shit regardless of the language, but yeah I’ll try to practice writing in the kanas for often
Henry Flores
>all it really comes down to is that my handwriting is shit regardless of the language
Not only that, but you don't know the strokes. There are specific types of lines used. You're just trying to excuse it by saying it's just your handwriting, but you literally do not know how to write Japanese characters regardless of your handwriting.

I said I’ll practice more, isn’t that enough for you? You can’t expect me to be perfect at just yet

I bet you are popular and happy with life.

Practice, write things out (legibly) instead of trying to do them in your head, and look things up if you don't know how to do them.
You're only "doomed" if you decide to be lazy.
You clearly don't remember how to do division, let alone being capable of doing it in your head. You also need to review your multiplication tables and probably basic arithmetic with fractions.
If you review the idea of "common factors" in a fraction, your problem would be much easier, as would considering the commutative property of multiplication.
Your problem, it's easy to split (48*3+6)/8 into two parts: (48*3)/8 and (6/8) which you will add together.
You can also write (48*3)/8 as (48/8)*3
If your numerator (top) and denominator (bottom) have obvious factors in common (and "even numbers" are obvious, as are powers of ten), make your life simpler by dividing out the common factor from both. (If you don't know the term "factor" means, look it up.)
For even numbers, you can just divide by 2 until you stop having even numbers.
(24/4)*3 and 3/4 (If you are familiar with handling US currency, you should know that 3/4 is .75)
(24/4)*3 = (12/2)*3 = 6*3 = 18
18+.75 = 18.75
If you decide to do what you did and go with 150/8, you can make your division easier by simplifying to 75/4 first.

That sounds like a typical Jow Forums argument

I bet you're accomplished and well liked.
Carson Garcia
Btw here is a bunch of attempts with the proper stroke order
Luis Edwards
>with the proper stroke order
no
Jaxon Stewart
I’m 100% sure now that I used the proper stroke order this time

Thanks, I’ll get better at this hopefully
Sebastian Butler
Why are you so mad about some weeb's writing skills?
Joshua Smith
I’m OP and I for one appreciate learning the correct way, even if he was a dick about it
