Peaches and Roses

Wow... I feel that there is a connection from roses and peaches to math. Peaches. One of the tastiest fruits, yet so hard to come up with recipe to use peaches. All you can do with peaches is eat them. Math is the most interesting, yet most difficult of all of the school subjects. There is no way to sugar coat a math lesson. All a teacher can do is teach it and all a student can do is take notes on the material presented for later.
   
This blog is really about math and our approach to learning it. The over load of peaches is how our life will look like if we fall behind and fall behind some more. We end up getting an over load of homework to catch up on and we really aren't internalizing the information at this point. We are just memorizing it for the test/ final. If you made something everyday from those peaches, you would not have such a large amount in the long run. And peaches make great smoothies, to boot. Your friend Barbra is like the teacher. Insisting that you do more than the bare minimum. The best that you can do. That way your grade (the rosebush) doesn't go downhill from there. The thorns on the roses are the problems we have in math. We have to get through those before we get the beautiful rose in our house.

I approach math the cautious way: unsure and pricking myself with every thorn possible. In spite of that I love math more than some other subjects. The rigorous note taking in class and being able to ask questions in class helps me do the best in class.
