bounded!!!!


i have started teaching mathematics to a girl of class 9. the first hurdle is the language problem. she is a bengali medium student so it is very difficult for me to explain things and for her to understand. but she is a sincere student and a complete nerd...and a bit too good. i m very impatient hence this is a good opportunity to learn to be more patient. yesterday i was having difficulty in teaching her about factors and polynomials and the zeros. i tried my best, dont knowhow much she understood but she managed to do the sums on them mechanically and i remembered thats how we used to do sums too. in additional maths we had to compute standard deviations and we mugged up formulae and applied them without actually understanding what sd is. in class 11 things were clarified and i felt that we were not at all doing maths in classes 9-10, we were just imitating our teachers! but thats how one learns so nothing bad in that. yesterday i had a misconception about functions cleared. before that i was making such idiotic comments that my teacher said i was talking nonsense. hehe!
teaching is the most challenging job to me. it tests ur patience.
