Maths and English are very important in daily life but many people prefer an individual subject. In a survey of 35 people students and teachers , Most people, it seems, are better at either Maths or English. It is very rare to be talented at both, or to find oneself adept at developing in both areas.
It can seem almost predetermined which subject we find easiest. Both maths and English are essential in the workplace because of the following:. English and maths skills will help access higher education at prestigious universities, better and rewarding international employment opportunities, earn more money, and potentially live longer and happier lives.
It is never too late to improve your English and maths skills. You can still take online classes or if you are still at school stay focused during these classes to reap the rewards in the future.

Continue Reading. A line that continually approaches a given curve, however, does not meet it at any finite distance. On the other hand math is full of rules. In exams if we can't understand the rules of maths, we will get 0. But if we understand the simple tense and words we will write a paragraph with our creativity.
The most important thing that English is our international language. I have to say that English is much better than maths. If you cant do English then you cant do math word problems. Children at my school say they love English then maths because its fun and interesting unlike maths which is just numbers. English covers more of our learning than maths. In English you get to write a story, poem, letter, newspaper and much more. You get innovate stories and invent them.
In maths you add subtract divide multiple and order. Its very straightforward and there's only one right answer, This is why English is much more better than maths. Understand that both are creative, but in a much different sense. I find that English, the language and the subject, are both profoundly more creative and intuitive, and is an open window into the soul of the individual. It is a power that math hopes to rival, but can never.
Writers are the philosophers of the world, who envision characters that show the strife in an era, the pain, or the good that we have come to be. It is art, and art is the representation of an era through profound work. As such, English triumphs. We get to read and write where in math you have to do hard math problems and don't get to read, write, do word work or do activites.
Math sucks and english is awesome because i love reading and writing, word work and doing activites. Thats my report on English. English scores better over maths because it spirals out of the rigid rules except in grammer , needs creative pursuit to express and write words in sound vocabulary and is like a vast expanse of occean which needs continues grilling and reading.
Creativity needs terrific brain teasing and timely co-relation of learnt vocabulary in sentence framation. This language needs to be constantly bolstered through thorough reading of novels, magazines and newspapers and whatver books one comes across. It is like aquiring an inimitable skill which hardly anyone cares today. One can cram and plagiarize any subject but not this language based subject which will stir your mind in adding right vocabulary in sentence framing. Hence I would like to give my aegis to this subject than maths.
You need to know how to write more than math because you are often dealing with letters mail and other La activities than mathematical problems and solutions. You also need La more than math because you often have to write emails, letters, etc than having to count up numbers and other daily math routines.
Although English is not used in every country, it is one of the most widespread and most spoken languages in the world, along with Spanish and Mandarin. A majority of people are aware of the English language, and most people have at least a basic understanding of the language and can speak a few words in it. Although many occupations have to do with math, you also need to be able to speak in order to perform well at your job.
For instance, if there was an engineer in a primarily English speaking country and he was brilliant at math, but he couldn't speak a lick of English, no one in their right mind would hire him because he couldn't communicate with anyone. Additionally, in a country familiar with English, every occupation has something to do with English.
There are English teachers, authors, and many more. Also, even if the occupation is not centered around English, you still have to talk to co-workers and employees. But also there are careers which rely on maths which may not be so obvious — sportsmen and women who calculate distance and speed, as well as angles and trajectory; and carpenters and builders for whom a miscalculation could cost them a job or their business. The OECD the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development has found a direct relationship between wage distribution and numeracy skills, which is a good motive for making maths a part of everyday life from a young age!
Although good mathematical skills and understanding are important to embed at a young age, it is also important to keep up the study and practice of maths even if just in short ten minute bursts each day. A great example of a quick maths activity you can do with your child is the Number Facts Paper Flip which takes just 10 minutes!
We start, as children, to use mathematical concepts as part of speech very early on, but without an awareness of the mathematics behind them. Children learn the difference between things we are close to or far away from, it is only through studying maths that they can start to apply this to working out exactly how far away something is, or the impact on the scale and size of the object. When studying maths regularly they start to apply more in-depth knowledge and skills to their early understanding.
It is also important in the study of maths to remove any possible misconceptions which children can have when they learn maths on their own as a natural part of growing up. This can help them to understand why maths is so important. It is vital that throughout their schooling they have opportunities to explore misconceptions and work through their understanding of these, finding new methods to work out what they thought they knew. A very common example of this is when multiplying a number by ten.
This is an understandable misconception as we, by our nature, look for patterns in things around us. However, when the child is then given the calculation 5. Not only can this make it difficult for the child to move forward into more complex calculations, it can also massively knock their confidence and take a while for them to find their feet again with their understanding of number.
We must ensure, through the study of maths, that we take no shortcuts at any age, as each step in numeracy builds on the last. Studying maths also allows us to find more efficient methods which save us time, and to work out maths much quicker mentally than we would be able to relying on paper and pencil, or a calculator.
You have heard, in the 21st Century, the argument that we no longer need to know a load of mental maths as we all have calculators smartphones on our pockets. However, it is not always obvious, even, using a calculator, what we need to work out and which steps to go through, so knowing basic number skills by heart, such as times tables, is a key component.
An extreme example of when mental maths would come to the fore would be in the operating theatre. Nobody wants their surgeon to stop to use their smartphone to decide how much blood we can afford to lose before they intervene! This might be an unlikely example, but we definitely want to have as many numeracy skills in our mental maths toolkit as possible. This reduces cognitive load, which put simply has an impact on how much brain power we need to complete simple calculations, how flustered we become and therefore how likely we are to make mistakes in our calculations.
Even in the most everyday of examples, most of us do not take out our smartphones to work out every offer in the supermarket to decide which one is best. Even when we do use our smartphones or satnav to work out journey times and distances for us, we make then add our own decisions on whether to take route A or route B, and our reasons for that choice.
We are all still humans and our own knowledge added to the maths is what helps us to make good decisions for ourselves. Regular studying — whether of new concepts or simply revising and revisiting things we have learnt before — helps our grey matter and has been shown to improve IQ over time.
