<p>How well do you focus in school? Can you work quickly and follow a conversation at the same time or do you fall asleep during class? How quickly can you solve math/science problems? Anyone have ADD/ADHD?</p>
<p>I have ADHD, but if willing I can easily finish my math classwork in about 10 minutes and join in a conversation which is either about sports, movies, food, or Harry Potter.</p>
<p>Well enough. Depends on how tired I am. Depends on how prepared I am. No.</p>
<p>I focus better when class discussion or other participation is encouraged. When the teacher just lectures and it’s boring I tend to doze off, though I don’t actually fall asleep.
I can’t do arithmetic in my head, at all. If it’s a problem involving just variables (and not like 65 + 36 because I’ll get it wrong every time) I can solve it in my head if I’ve done it a lot before. If the math involved is new to me it will take a little longer, but I think I generally work at a moderate/average pace.</p>
<p>I focus really well in all of my classes except art. My mind tends to wander and then I end up just staring at my canvas.</p>
<p>Can anyone do a lot of math in his/her head? If so, how much can you do?
For me, I can mostly do algebraic stuff and arithmetic and simplifying. Also the unit circle, but our teacher drilled it into our head.</p>
<p>I kept falling asleep in my math class so this quarter when we had to change seats, my teacher moved me all the way to the front lol</p>
<p>LOL I’m a boss at recalling the Unit Circle.</p>
<p>I sit in the front for almost all my classes. Really hard to stay awake when I’m sleepy. I’m still able to answer the questions the teacher asks and I only have class work for 2 classes. I finish math work at like 1 minute per problem, sometimes I’m the only one able to even solve the problem.</p>
<p>I do finger-addition and subtraction. I cannot do mental math.</p>
<p>I force myself to focus. It’s hard, esp. when you’re in math class… I use BRIGHT colored pens to take notes. Afterschool I usually drink a lot of coffee/Mountain Dew (thing works wonders!!!)</p>
<p>I don’t know how, but I focus well enough to get good grades and all, even though I tend to be in my own bubble for like 50% of the time.
I never pay attention when the teacher is explaining what our homework or in-class exercises consist in though. So I have to ask to anyone around me… haha :)</p>
<p>^That’s exactly what I’m like! Haha my science teachers always have to re-explain labs to me even though they just went through the whole thing in detail 5 seconds before.</p>
<p>I’m too busy distracting the entire class too focus, unless I find the classwork worth my time.</p>
