    Anybody fancy doing a puzzle???

    What are the next three numbers in the following sequence:

    8, 11, 5, 4, 9, 1, 7, 6, 10…
    There is a definite relationship between the numbers….but what is it?

    " The people who mean something to your life are not rated "the best" don't have the most money, haven't won the greatest prizes....
    They are the ones who care about you, take care of you, those who, no matter what, stay close by... "

    The answer you are probably after is 3, 12, 2 though it could be 3, 13, 12 instead.

    8 + 11 = 19 + 5 + 4 = Nigels cr*p at maths!

    There are 7 Planes Of Existance:

    3, 12, 2 is the correct answer. For the benefit of those who are still scratching their heads - it is the numbers from one to twelve arranged in alphabetical order.

    Here's another one. What number is missing from the bottom line?

    4/61
    5/52
    6/63
    7/94
    8/46
    9/??

    Thanks to all who replied.That was Mr P&P doing the puzzle tests on you...He got loads of them..Watch for it

    That's good Penny you got a high grade in Math.
    There's a saying in the Phils if English is the major subject then Math is the minor and vice versa. Do you agree on that?
    My mum was very good on both English and Math. I remember she taught us in our Math subjects and Statistics... and perfect grammar as well.. I wish i had followed her footsteps!....

    Cheers!

    Thanks Yeh! I agree with you as I have classmate who is always panic with numbers but she speaks excellent and fluent english so she took medicine and now she's somebody in our town.
    My Mom is good in Math much better than anybody of us because she can count thru mental calculation. She doesn't know how to use calcu. At 81 she can still do mental calculation

    Hey! You can't count letters! You can only count numbers!

    ok then what is U + F - G x R ?

    I am joking!

    There are 7 Planes Of Existance:

    7 — Material Plane: The earth, where you are right now.
    6 — Plane of Forces
    5 — Astral Plane
    4 — Mental Plane

    She was poor in Math but now a Doctor? I just hope she won't get confused with the prescriptions she gives out to her patients. Like the difference of "ml" from "mg".
    ML (milliliters) use to measure liquid volume. e.g. 5ml = 1 tsp.
    MG (milligrams) use to measure weight. (1,000 of a gram)
    Very small amounts of medicine in a mixture.
    e.g. 10 mg of active ingredient in a pill.

    Well done! 18 is the right answer. Obviously I will have to try to think of something a bit more taxing.

    Awwww panicking in Math!... I remember my mum said whenever she was given problems to solve in Math or anything that has to do with numbers she was so excited and so happy to give the answers, she never panics. She said once a person panics or is frightened by those problem solving or whatever abt Math then he/she is not that good in Math bec if he/she is good she will never panic!

    That is the thing you need to explain to your MOM. Tell her being panic is just like a math anxiety and it doesn't mean you are poor in Math. You can share this to your Mom if your Mom is a teacher or she teaches you.

    Math anxiety or fear of math is actually quite common. Math anxiety is quite similar to stagefright. Why does someone suffer stagefright? Fear of something going wrong in front of a crowd? Fear of forgetting the lines? Fear of being judged poorly? Fear of going completely blank? Math anxiety conjures up fear of some type. The fear that one won't be able to do the math or the fear that it's too hard or the fear of failure which often stems from having a lack of confidence. For the most part, math anxiety is the fear about doing the math right, our minds draw a blank and we think we'll fail and of course the more frustrated and anxious our minds become, the greater the chance for drawing blanks. Added pressure of having time limits on math tests and exams also cause the levels of anxiety grow for many students.

    Where Does Math Anxiety Come From?

    Usually math anxiety stems from unpleasant experiences in mathematics. Typically math phobics have had math presented in such a fashion that it led to limited understanding. Unfortunately, math anxiety is often due to poor teaching and poor experiences in math which typically leads to math anxiety. Many of the students I've encountered with math anxiety have demonstrated an over reliance on procedures in math as opposed to actually understanding the math. When one tries to memorize procedures, rules and routines without much understanding, the math is quickly forgotten and panic soons sets in. Think about your experiences with one concept - the division of fractions. You probably learned about reciprocals and inverses. In other words, 'It's not yours to reason why, just invert and multiply'. Well, you memorized the rule and it works. Why does it work? Do you really understand why it works? Did anyone every use pizzas or math manipulatives to show you why it works? If not, you simply memorized the procedure and that was that. Think of math as memorizing all the procedures - what if you forget a few? Therefore, with this type of strategy, a good memory will help, but, what if you dont' have a good memory. Understanding the math is critical. Once students realize they can do the math, the whole notion of math anxiety can be overcome. Teachers and parents have an important role to ensure students understand the math being presented to them.
