Being Good With Numbers...

My son is currently sitting practice exams at school, ready for the real thing next year, and he printed a sample Maths paper for me to take a look at because, as I like to tell him often, I was REALLY good at Maths at school.

I could barely understand the questions, let alone start working through the answers, but then I did a quick Google, and downloaded a sample Maths exam paper from *coughs* 1984 which I actually passed pretty easily back then, and I couldn’t understand those questions either.

Being good with numbers and knowing how to answer Maths exam questions are two very different things, just like meeting someone else’s unrealistic expectations is quite different from being really great at what you do…
