    My first term in Geometry and it fcking sucks. 9th grades gets 4 quarters of math while 10th grades gets 2 quarters (****ing bastards)

    I never had much trouble with geometry. Although doing proofs got very annoying, very fast. You shouldn't have much trouble with them. I managed to pass with an A while sleeping through most of the class. If you're confused about something, look for it in the book. That's what I always do.

    Dude our entire chapter is proofs.

    Angle theorm crap.

    At least when I get to 10th grade it will be a 2 quarter math since Algebra advance is two quarters right?

    Depends what type of proofs, if you mean proving something, then I suggest something called proof by induction.
    Math is good for you =), trust me if you can take more of it you should. You will need it if you plan on doing anything science related, or business related.

    But I am only a 9th grader!!!!... I seen some 9th graders taking algebra 1 and I was wondering how they got so relaxed...... Damm they got it easy.

    Algebra 1 mess with the mind but proofs are just pure logic.

    The school system here makes us take math since we 1st start school.. I dont see the downside of it
    And proofs isnt exactly hard to understand.. espc geometry...

    Not sure what kind of proof you're talking about.

    But if it's maths, definitely a piece of cake

    So, try posting it here?

    I'm on a commercial college. I don't have any math - at all!!!!!111 *RAAWWR*
    Mwhahaha

    But hey, look for it on the internet. I did that and it helped(even though I really sucked in math). Also, paying attention to the class, helps a lot.

    What makes you think I am not at the 'tough parts' of maths?

    And.. you're reading too much into my post, what makes you think I am taking about the 'tough parts' of maths?

    Grow up? Just because I am confident in myself that I could help him out?

    Oh please, take back your words.

    I found Geometry really easy. As with anything almost, you get the grade you deserve. Just spend some time after school with your teacher getting help. Unless you have just a really lame teacher, one of the ones where you just cannot get an A (and I know it happens all the damn time), just ask for help! While you're after school, do your HW, ask your teacher for the answers and whatnot to confirm you're doing something right. I'm in Calc BC and crying now lol.
