I think monsters method sounded the simplest. I could actually understand it. I think you'd be a good teacher monster.
The problem is I think the formulas need to be like UT's? They way the schools want or wanted you to do them was in that strict formation?
Not that it matters. Jinx got her answer. I am just curious..always.

all three of us (me dar and toadie) did the same thing, I just explained it at 6th grade level. actually, I do teach math, I just don't get paid for it
. I'd be a crap real teacher -I'd kill the little shits if I had them for an extended period of time.
And as for what the schools want -Jinx is the school
It really is a good idea to get a tutor, though Jinx -and get one who really loves math. Half the battle with the kids I work with is that all their life they've heard that math is boring and hard so it's an uphill battle before they've even found out what it's really all about ....plus by the time they reached this point, if they've been in a standard school system, even the ones who did enjoy math have been bored to tears by having "math facts" drummed into them and doing gazillions of basic problems so everybody knows math r srs subject.
Yes, I'm a little passionate about this, how did you guess?
Sorry about your cat, Juni.
