'm in 10th grade and currently taking Algebra 2.
Basically.. I can divide a two digit number by a one digit number completely, reciting all the decimals very quickly.
If you pick a number and square it, I could give you the square root instantly. If you pick a number and multiply it by itself 3 times, I could give you that number instantly as well. I can do percentages in my head. (like what's 28 percent of 48) I can also race against the calculator by adding a 2 digit number on itself over and over again. A lot more too...
People are gonna think I think I'm some **** bragging on the internet but I'm really not. I'm as honest as possible. I've always hidden my talent from everyone because I fear people will call me a FREAK and view me differently if they find out.
Also, what if my math teacher gets mad that I'm trying to show off and impressing people instead of him when that's his job?
What do you think I should do?
Should I show my classmates and teacher my human calculator math skills?
I would do it... Of course ppl will think you are bragging, but you have to show them that you are better then them.
Reply:I'd approach your teacher in private. Don't broach the subject like you're trying to show off, but ask if it's a common skill, or if you can, say, enter math competitions? Use it to your advantage, don't be ashamed.
Reply:People aren't going to make fun of you for being smart. Your peers and teachers are going to admire you for it and you should be proud of your skills. Show your teacher what you can do.
