Now he writes beautiful answers to math problems (ahhh...)<br /><br />I go back and forth on how useful note-taking is in a math class (as a student I went back and forth--do I learn more if I take (mediocre) notes, or if I give it my full attention at the time, and don't try to take notes. I'm still not sure what works best.LSquared32https://www.blogger.com/profile/00858524638866166691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5964889903484807623.post-55840680309834223542010-04-15T08:10:16.943-07:002010-04-15T08:10:16.943-07:00Some will get it right away while others will hear...Some will get it right away while others will hear it again and again in high school.
