And I said I would never need math when I grew up.......

I'm just glad I understand fractions!
I hated math with a passion. My dad could add up long columns of two and three digit numbers in his head and couldn't understand why I couldn't do math (my mother quietly told me I got my math genes from her LOL!!). If I hadn't had a tutor for math in high school, I'd still be there. I also got through university without doind a math course (2 philosophy courses instead). I still shy away from anything that involves adding and substracting numbers. :oops:

When in high school I never could understand why I had to take geometry and when I would ever use it. Well that's because I didn't know I'd end up a quilter and use it all the time.
Recently, my former geometry teacher came into the office and I was able to thank him--he laughed and appreciated my thanks. Says he's asked that question all the time: why do I need to know geometry?
