<p>It’s obvious you like politics and history, so you understand why the question “Why?” is important. In math, the thing that will grab my attention is “why something works” & “why we need to learn this” & “why it functions a specific way”. Personally, I think it’s just my math teachers don’t know how to teach. They have been nice, but they only teach the problems on the board. That’s it. They don’t teach a lesson and the concepts. I’m all about understanding concepts, you know? </p>
