I was talking to my aunt the other day and she said she felt like calculus came so easily to her in college because she had a solid foundation 📚 I hear this all the time. People attributing being good at mathematics with a solid set of skills they built on, not because they were geniuses or gifted, but because they fully understood the core skills they needed ✍🏼 And I couldn’t agree more. I say it all the time, WE ARE ALL MATH PEOPLE 🙌🏼 we all are capable of learning math, but if you don’t understand the basics you will struggle as you progress. That’s just the truth, but the good news is it’s all fixable 🤓 Today’s episode of Math Hacks covers one of the most essential fundamental concepts of #algebra: Graphing Linear Equations (which is part of my Heart of Mathematics series) ♥️ link in bio https://www.instagram.com/p/Bo7msFBB8VZ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=cpqlm7cqye0v

We have so many pre-conceived ideas and feelings when we look at math 📚 Overwhelmed? Absorbed? Curious? Afraid? Determined? 🤔 As “unemotional” as math is perceived to be, we’re human 🙃 and our feelings influence us into performing better or worse every single time we attempt math. ✍🏼 How do you feel when you see math? Do you think it influences your performance?? | Also, new #tutorial is up on Math Hacks today talking all about the math in the picture: factorials!! ♥️ link in bio https://www.instagram.com/p/Boz_qP3HHyQ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=qaxok6uovclr

Proofs are the bedrock of mathematics. It’s how we know that every rule and theorem we use holds true. 📚 Not all proofs have to be massive and mind-boggling, some are just short and sweet. ♥️ Today on Math Hacks I’m showing you a geometric picture proof demonstrating how we know that the square root of 2 is irrational. So sharpen your logical acuity and tune in 🎥 link in bio https://www.instagram.com/p/BofIZKQHHu3/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1x3mmi69cg8i3

The “ Zero Power Rule” Explained – Math Hacks – Medium

Exponents seem pretty straightforward, right? Raise a number to the power of 1 means you have one of that number, raise to the power of 2…

Question for you 👉🏼 Why is it that if I multiply 2 with itself ZERO times I get 1??!! 🤔 Yet that’s exactly what the Zero Power Rule tells us. Crazy, confusing right? Let me clear up this little mystery for you (with only basic math!) in today’s episode of Math Hacks
