All of us tried the basic math. All of us had been taught on how to solve simple math problems when we were young. But then, as we grew up, math problems got complicated and so hard to solve. Some may actually make us forget the basic math we have learned when we were young.
Like how this adults reacted when they were given the fifth grade math problems. They were then assigned to solve it. It really seemed that simple math problems already becomes hard when adults were told to solve it. Actually, I can say that this one is true.
I guess, this one is all because of the fact that they already know a lot of thing making it hard for them to determine which is which. Some had said that they don’t have ideas on how to solve it. Some gave wrong answers. Some really took a hard time for it.
But then, there are still some who got the right answer after solving it. On the next problem, one of the adult just accepted that one of the grade 5 student is really smarter than she do.
After it, you can say and you can realize that certain things did not really stay in our minds. That on how we easily solved math problems when we were young will be just the same on how hard we solve it when we grew up. This is life, indeed.
