Math is important

Welcome to free math tutoring,

Similarly, mathematics is, by and large, taught backward. You are
drilled on little skills, which turn out to be important, but without
ever really being shown the bigger picture, which would help you
understand _why_ they are important.

Can you imagine trying to teach
someone to play chess by having them practice moving the individual
pieces, math forum; without ever letting them know that there was such a thing as
a chess 'game', or even letting them see a board with more than one
piece on it? Who would bother to learn it? That's something like the
way we currently go about teaching math. Is it any wonder that so many
students lose interest so early?
