Re: I have 2 problems

Hi mandy;

I understand what you are saying and I am a poor substitute for your teachers and parents in this matter.

The MathsisFun pages are quite good because he does a lot of teaching using pictures and concepts. Sadly, I know of no speaking math program except for one and it is too expensive and clumsy to help you. There are free readers to read text like I am writing to you.

What I can do is work any problem that you can post here. I will use words as much as I can rather than symbols. You can speak the words to yourself softly as a help to understanding the math. I know you feel that it is just you but math is hard for everyone me too.

Re: I have 2 problems

Hi Mandy;

That is a very hard problem in general. We can only know a prime by trying to factor it. There are other ways but they need a computer to do.

For the times table, does this help?
