I hate math. I just don't get it...-gctid43975

Math is based on observations of different relationships in nature. Knowledge of these relationships gives us insight into how the nature around us works. Science is nature observation, math is the set of rules that allows us to observe nature.

Recognizing the patterns in nature is what led our Nananom to develop math and science. We can think of pattern recognition and replication as being one of the fundamental principles of Kmtyw math and science (and by extension technology). The ability to see patterns, replicate them, and apply them within different contexts is a theme that recurs at all levels of STEM (science, technology, engineering & mathematics).

Can you see the following patterns?

Now look at the attachment named "Pattern2a." Which of the three patterns in attachment "Pattern2b" matches?

what are some things that can be done to make math and science interesting to a teenager?

Aside from relating STEM to their liberation and empowerment, math and science will be boring to students if the ultimate goal is their integration into euro society. Young people have an eagle eye for hypocrisy so they see the contradiction in adults trying to teach them STEM so that they can pass some euro assessment of eureurasiaanness like CRCT or SAT.

STEM can be extremely relevant and interesting to young Kmtyws if our rationale for teaching it to them is motivated by our desire for liberation rather than initiation into our enemies' ranks.

For example, teach STEM within the context of a project that is relevant to liberation. For example martial arts (particularly joint locks) is a fun way to teach geometry (angles, kwk) as well as as anatomy, body mechanics, kwk.

Some other teaching ideas:

--Plumbing ~ fluid mechanics, arithmetic, geometry (volume, angles), algebra (incompressible flow equation), calculus (related rates, compressible flow equation)

--Auto mechanics ~ thermodynamics, algebra, geometry, arithmetic, statistics, mechanics of materials

--Agriculture ~ hydrology (algebra, geometry, calculus), fluid mechanics(algebra, geometry, calculus), arithmetic

--Bead-making ~ material science (arithmetic, algebra, geometry, chemistry, kwk)

Another idea...Instead of enriching ndundu gin companies we could teach our children how to make nsa/oti (for spiritual purposes of course and not for consumption) as this process of distillation is the same process that is used to make the alternative fuel ethanol, which can be used to power engines.

This is a chemistry lesson just waiting to happen! And I'm sure that the Abosom/Orisa/Vodou/Lwa/Nkisi/Nananom/kwk would much rather have a product made by Kmtyws and full of Kmtyw ase as opposed to a product full of whatever crakkkers have.
