math Problems

Chofu, a new type of poetry created by Steven Silvey.

A terrifying
subject
for most of the class, for they
study all night for
the test,
but when test time comes, they fail.

In contrary, math is the subject of logic, and the mathematical logic is : if you study you succeed, if you dont, you fail .
Thats my view :)

Wow this is just like my experience with math. Only I never studied but acted like I did. And I made Cs but felt like I failed. It's tough being a six A one C student.

I like these newfangled "chofus". Bravo Will and bravo Steven.
Nice job.

I know about this too well! I failed algebra all the way through my freshman year of high school. And then partly through my sophomore year too! I wonder why people fail it? there are so many ways to use math in our lives but yet we fail..something ain't right. thankx for the fun read. btw, what's chofu?

I think that this go beyond math....
Im still laughing, cause it's the truth. I failed algebra three times, yet aced geometry. Go figure.

I never studied.
I don't understand how to study math. I always thought of it as a "You know it or you don't"
Towards the beginning of last year, Ashley Willis failed her math test. She cried, saying, "I studied all night, and I still failed. I'm telling Mr. Burger." I never thought I'd quit laughing. Now you've got me started again, and I don't know if I'll stop.
Great Chofu. Well written. Make sure to put it in the contest.
