Teaching algebra 1 on the special ed side last year, I had a hard time with graphing quadratics. I found it difficult to help the students because it was something I didn't fully understand myself. I must have just gotten by when I took Algebra 1, because it wasn't even something that came back to me as we were teaching it.

I am the worst when it comes to trig. Every other thing about math comes to me fluently, but trig and I do not mix. 😅

When I was younger I didn’t like fractions but it was because I couldn’t visualize it.

I have the most nightmares about logs (ln) and anything having to do with writing equations based on graphs.

I was never good with geometry. Proofs were always tough.

Order of Operation. Sometimes I feel everyone just overthinks the process.

I think the reason I struggled with percents years ago was because I looked at it as a topic alone and not how it connected to decimals and fractions as well.

I have this awful memory of junior year in high school with Trig. Sines and cosines still give me nightmares to this day. I found Trig so challenging mostly because I struggled with algebra.

The quadratic equation.
I think because it has so many steps. I switch the numbers. I also get confused with all the rules and situations.

1. The definition of an irrational number was one that was always communicated to me in a confusing way at first.
2. I believe this was always confusing because I was often told and read that an irrational number cannot be written as a fraction; however, sqrt(3)/2 can still be a nonterminating nonrepeating number
3. I feel my misunderstanding can be clarified by being exposed to and exploring more examples of irrational numbers.

1.Geometry - I still struggle with it   when I see it .
2. Not sure.
3. Probably not. Math was always my worst subject.

1. I still can't comprehend this...
2. I'm not sure because I'm pretty good with higher level math, like algebra, but I forget the basics all the time.

1. Share mathematical terms, symbols, pictures here.
2. Explain why you believe this misunderstanding might have taken place. ("Not sure" is an acceptable explanation!)
3. Answer: Do you feel this could have been prevented? Why or why not?
