An episode that thawed my very complicated relationship with math from pure torture and terrible grades to a likeable disposition with good grades.<\/p>\n<p>I had never before attained \u2018Average\u2019 in math.<\/p>\n<p>My high school had a progress evaluation system. Basically, exams and more exams: Opener, Mid and the Final Exams. The Openers\u2019 served the biggest challenge.<\/p>\n<p>A nasty jolt to slap us out of the holiday moods. This episode happened in Form Two, after the Easter holiday.<\/p>\n<p>We started with the dreaded math paper. It&#8217;s a tough fifty-question paper rounding off to a hundred marks. I breeze through it with trepidation, like a pirate condemned to walk off the plank at sea.<\/p>\n<p>I knew I would flunk it, and I did. What with much of the holiday reading novels and watching TV?<\/p>\n<p>The results were out by the evening preps. As was custom with our math teacher, quite empathetic and insanely patient &#8211; he\u2019d read the top and the lowest score, but not mention the names. Morale, I think.<\/p>\n<p>Someone had punched in an incredible 98%, and the lowest came in at a partly 19%.<\/p>\n<p>I didn\u2019t know who led but I knew I the 19% was mine. But, for a minute there, we giggled in the back rows speculating on which idiot had probably scored 19%.<\/p>\n<p>My desk mate had managed a 76%, and said he felt dumb. Really? Dumb with a 76%? What adjective would I use to describe my 19%?<\/p>\n<p>I was pretty miserable.<\/p>\n<p>Did I mention that our math teacher also doubled as our class teacher? He had absolute powers, first among them &#8211; to shuffle us around the class.<\/p>\n<p>Who sat where, and with whom?<\/p>\n<p>He announced that the top would be paired with the lowest scorer. Before I could say Abracadabra, I had moved from the back to the front row. It was the least favorite position. If you dozed off in the back row, most teachers would chuck a piece of chalk at you.<\/p>\n<p>The front row? That\u2019s within slapping distance!<\/p>\n<p>Barely do we settle in, than the teacher unleashes the next shocker.<\/p>\n<p>Henceforth, each pair would tackle math problems on the board. The top grade, would lead the lowest in a step-by-step tackle. What?<\/p>\n<p>In the history of my schooling, I had never volunteered to work out a math problem on the board.<\/p>\n<p>I had a problem, but, hey &#8211; a pirate has to walk the plank, right?<\/p>\n<p>What followed was an agonizing few weeks, each a degree worse than the other.<\/p>\n<p>I realized that I was \u2018dragging\u2019 my partner. She was kind, but I was fast wearing down her patience. Eventually, we worked out a system.<\/p>\n<p>Each night, we\u2019d use half an hour of preps going over the following day\u2019s assigned math problems.<\/p>\n<p>I started getting correct answers on the board. The kids would clap, for everyone &#8211; but the claps were louder for me. I was getting better in math!<\/p>\n<p>Who could have thought it\u2019s possible? My confidence grew, I grew bolder and opened up to math.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m eternally grateful to my math teacher and my tag-team partner. I have no clue where they are, or doing presently but I still feel indebted to them.<\/p>\n<p>Besides math grades, they helped me develop a positive mindset towards tackling obstacles in life.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ghafla.co.ke\/sponsored\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2023\/02\/WhatsApp-Image-2023-02-06-at-4.51.35-PM.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3342 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghafla.co.ke\/sponsored\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2023\/02\/WhatsApp-Image-2023-02-06-at-4.51.35-PM.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"720\" height=\"716\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>As we prepare to get back to class, do your kids struggle with math?
