Bad Math Teacher help?

Well, before i went to middle school, i had A's and B+'s in math and i understood the material pretty well. But now i have this math teacher that really sucks. She just gives lessons as powerpoints and now i have a C. Most people have C in her class and maybe 5 people have a B but no A's. My parents think i'm just not trying hard enough and don't believe almost everyone has a C, D, or F. any tips?








The teacher also takes points off for things like, "I don't like how you showed your work", "you didn't check your work." I get the answer right but she still takes like half off.

Bad Math Teacher help?
So do you want one of us to come to your school and teach your class?
Reply:i used to have a really bad math teacher


but then i started sitting near the front


and taking notes and asking questions and stuff and my grades went up








i think ur best bet is to maybe take notes (if you don't know)


if you get homeworktime in class just ask her to come over and help u on some of the questions (even if u do get it it helps because then she'll see the 'problems in how u do ur work' and help u fix 'em








oh and if those don't work talk to her


if you don't get the material sometimes they have tudor sessions before or after school


so u can ask her for one of those
Reply:Bad math teacher ? Picky more like it. But you know what she expects, show your work and check your work. So if you do what she wants then she won't take off. It is so much easier to do well in a class with a teacher that spells out what she expects you to do.


She is actually trying to help you out. If you check your work you will be able to catch and correct the mistake . Showing your work will make it easier for you to check your work. It also will make it easier for anyone that is trying to help you, see where you made your error if you made one.
Reply:I have had the same problem before...beside your questions, put a small explaination of how you got that answer, or diagrams to show it. This might help you, because if you can prove that your answer is correct, there's no reason for the teacher to take a 1/2 mark off.





Also, if your parents don't believe you, ask them to have an interview with your teacher so they can discuss with her their concerns about your grades, and maybe she cna explain to them what's going on.





Good luck!
