"Maths"

I got one of my GCSE maths results back today, twas not too good as i am in the lowest set, well set 4 out of 5.
the highest we could get was a D, and the lowest we could get was a G, and a G was a pass (odd i know)...
Any way i got an F, yes an F for failure, i feel i could of done better if i didnt forget my calculater...
I am not dumb, dont get me wrong, i am good at every other lesson, just no good at maths...
oh well, spent the whole week worrying about what my dad is going to say, he just said, meh, its your grades, up to you if you dont want a good job...
So, i think that it all turned out ok...

Is it a right angled triangle?

Meh, some people are good at certain stuff. Though I was rubbish at Maths and Science, I was excellent at Drama and English and History. Basically all the "arty" type subjects. Anything scientific and I was lost.

My future career doesn't require Maths or Science... or DT (for which I wasn't even entered into the exam)

Just to rub it in i got an A and i am doing it as a level

I got an E at Maths. Got two Es for Science too. Yeah, knocking off lessons and failing exams is cool!*

I ditched Additional Maths and now do the next lowest thing. (im taking GCSE's next year). It's the worst thing I ever did. The class I'm in has had two different sub teachers since I came and at the start it was fun cus we do 'tihs' all and just mess around but I know I am gonna fail in the end. Tomorrow I'm asking to be moved to a different class, or back up.

Bah humbug. Who cares?

The tangent of a triangle with the hypotenuse of 12 cm and adjacent of 7.

Now you need to use a real calculater, fool.

64, fool.

Maths ain't difficult.

Oh, and even if I was stupid, there's a flippin calculator on the PC, so I could easily work it out. YOu'll need to throw some more complicated stuff at me.

Ok, what is eight squared then?

I am good at mavs. 2 + 2 = 4.32129e(YES, as in *10 to the power of)47365241343

I have myself 3 Gold UK Maths Challenge awards, a best in school award and a silver award. I rule. ANd I am humble aussi.
