Cagey Posted September 26, 2017 Report Share Posted September 26, 2017 Being a southerner I was taught you can use your toes when you run out of fingers. Though it does get hard with number larger than 20, or if you lost a finger or toe like Uncle Mick. Cagey Mary Beth and quilterkp 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary Beth Posted September 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2017 I have actually learned to count forward and backward on my fingers, when I go through that process then I go for the toes. quilterkp 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan Bergling Posted September 26, 2017 Report Share Posted September 26, 2017 All this math talk has made me chuckle. I am horrible at math, always have been. I flunked high school algebra. My sister on the other hand has excelled, she's been a high school math teacher for 35 years. She has never understood my struggle. As an adult I have realized that I am dyslexic...especially with numbers. At first glance, my mind actually sees a series of numbers out of order. I have learned that I ALWAYS have to double & many times triple check my work. Measure twice (or 3-4 times), cut once! The struggle is real. quilterkp 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judyday Posted September 26, 2017 Report Share Posted September 26, 2017 Oh my. I love math. It's the universal language. 2+2=4 whether it's English, Spanish, French or another language. Numbers have made a good living for me for a long time. That's one reason I can spend the day with Georgia In my quilting studio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise, you would never know how much fabric to purchase. ... Cagey You are so funny, how could you not know how much fabric to buy? The answer is always MORE!

loraquilts Posted October 22, 2017 Report Share Posted October 22, 2017 I love math. Give me Calculous, Trig, proofs and theorems, and I'm a happy camper. Algebra, well that's just plain boring.....necessary and the most practical, but still boring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am finished competing if it goes past simple addition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
