He likes those similar triangles which I hate the most
and he hates those polynomials which I like the most. Unity in diversity. That
was the only available solution. I taught this boy for 4 weeks the major
operations involved while dealing with this topic. Every time he makes this
mistake of multiplying a number with an unknown 'x' its a x squared.
I repeatedly cleared his doubts (which was the same everytime). On the final
day I put him under test and asked him to solve some questions. Again
when the similar multiplication came he rerere....repeated (thats the word
actually) the very same mistake. Got angry and shouted like how many times
should I tell you this ! Once again rewinded every single phrase that i told
but this time in a different way. I changed my font style by using cursy
writing and to my surprise he started giving answers without any flaws. At the
end I asked him why he was not able to follow this till now and he innocently
replied " your x and x (one of which is the multiplication symbol) looked
alike and every time I saw this made me think that there are two "x".
This follows a long laughter :D
Thumbs up Navneeth.. (my student) !!
