Name something you can’t do that seems to come easier for other people.

I can’t complete division problems. I’ve always struggled severely in math since the beginning. I tutor a 10 year old kid during this pandemic and she had a couple pages of division problems and I literally worked myself into an anxiety headache. Even though there’s a guide on how to do the steps, I feel like I’m a 3 year old being taught trigonometry. I either mix up the steps or multiply/divide the wrong things. Even if another adult is writing out the process on a board in front of me, the knowledge leaves me as soon as they walk out of the room. It’s humiliating for me that a 10 year old can do it, but I can’t.

Take it as you have to divide 1000 by 10 then how many times 10 will be added to make 1000 that's nearly 100 times.

1000 by 5 that's nearly 200 times.

Like divide 5 by 1 means how many times 1 is added to get 5. Answer would be 1+1+1+1+1 = 5 times

Take one day out and give yourself alot of numbers divided by alot of numbers.

Exercise one day, two day and the third day you will start being confident and then after 5 or 6 days, you would be perfect. Trust me. Try to even Divide them in your mind like how many of this will be added to get this.

@TheOrionbeltseeker Yeah, multiplication and division, is just the grouping of equal amounted sets. Like boxes of ten pencils in each box. Once you think of it like that, it becomes much easier to work with.
