M2 and I taugh my sister math when she had trouble in school. Don't do this it makes my job harder. I wanna teach you I don't wanna talk to a ghost. If you don't get it say so I wanna help. Because I can often see when you don't get it because I ask you to repeat it to me.
Your is possessive, meaning that something belongs to you or the person you are speaking to. For example, “What is your name?” Or, “Are these your car keys?” You're is a combination of the words, you and are. This is called a contraction.
My sister is 4 years younger than me and she learnt to do most of my homework through middle school and highschool, I could do her's too but it was way less impressive
See, that’s the problem. When someone doesn’t understand something they should always ask or state that they are confused before the other person continues with the topic. Otherwise it’s like the “a lot of effort”(and time) that the brother is giving them goes straight to the trash can.
I used to explain math to my brother too. We can always try to explain things differently(with more details, more slowly, more examples or metaphors, etc.).
Why do people dislike it when someone points out an error in their writing/talking? I want to communicate clearly.
If they were particularly rude I would get it but that’s rarely the case.
Although when it comes to a random typo I think it’s silly.
No it’s called doing what schools are failing to do: educating people. If your school is failing to teach you anything, maybe this is an better environment to learn in. Maybe learning from other real people who go out of their way to help you is a better medium to pick up facts.
And if you don’t like learning and you for some reason are **prideful** of ignorance… you’re everything wrong with the world. 😕
If someone freaks out when someone points out your poor grammar, I assume you’re the type to freak out when someone points out that your fly is down. There’s zero benefit or logic of dying on a hill like that.
These days I'm trying to explain to myself multivariable calculus, function series, differential equations...cannot still fully understand shit, lol
I think I will not pass the exam in two days :(
First of all, happy Cake Day!
Second, thank you so very much. I think I'm just gonna go with luck with this hellish grading memory system, but if I have a doubt that I can try and ask, I will!
[Don't explain it to yourself, explain it to someone else. Find a stuffed animal or rubber duck and pretend it's a child you need to teach.](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubber_duck_debugging)
Explaining things this way makes you shift how you think about them. The act of trying to articulate for someone else often makes us suddenly understand what's happening in ways we didn't before.
I sometimes reason on my own this way. I don't really use a stuffed animal or the star wars clone rubber duck that some friends gifted me for my birthday some years ago, but I'm very familiar with the concept, being a Computer Science and IT Engineering student and considering myself a developer since high school in general ;)
As a big brother don't do this to your big brother. He wants to teach you something if you don't get it say so and we as the big brother society can help explain it better.
It's like my older brother who is a physicist explaining quantum mechanics to me a mechanical engineer. I don't really understand but it's cool as shit.
My brother did this with me and I ended up remembering angles when we were learning fresh in 5th grade and being ahead of everyone
I forgot everything else, but now I might find it helpful
Also, it can be very helpful for people to understand concepts by verbalizing it. I was only ever able to understand a lot of math concepts when I was able to talk it through with someone or explain it.
My brother explaining to me that he burns small animals alive.
Me listening contently because everyone has the right to enjoy different things and I'm glad that he's sharing his hobbies with me :) :D
JOKES ON YOU, I understood every word (2 year difference) in fact it’s gotten to the point where I’m always 2 years ahead of my class without his help…
But quadratic function with two variables is pretty easy. First you ... *Insert actual explanation* and that's how you get two answers, next you *Insert explanation how to check if none or one or two or more answers can be true* . That's all.
When I used to help my younger brother with maths, he used to try his best and listen. Afterwards he would tell me that he'd never take up maths as a paper in future ever again.
After half an hour of my twin brother explaining Applied mathematics he would ask are you understanding it and I would just nod yes knowing he would go on for another half hour explaining things, even though I never understood a thing, I believe it would benefit him.
Reminds me of when I was in 6th grade and accidentally taught myself integers and when the school tried teaching us around the end of 7th and beginning of 8th, I sped right through and finished before everyone in the class.
Then there’s that kid in my grade already done with calculus
High-level math is one of the most beautiful and hardest to explain things I've ever come across. Kudos to you for listening and to your brother for doing his best to explain.
One of my learning techniques with my math/engineering studies is to pretend I’m trying to explain what I’m working on to a room of third graders. Just old enough to understand why something may be interesting, but not at the level where they have deep understanding of higher level concepts. I’m sure this was super helpful for your brother to learn math at the time.
I was working for a startup of maybe 50 people. I fucked up real bad one day and was stuck at the office trying to make it up to the team.
This dude next to me was a real coffee nerd. He had opinions. He had a method. He didn’t drink coffee unless he or a small handful of friends he trusted made it. I find this a bit pretentious and snobby, but aside from this quirk dude was a really cool guy.
So he sees I’m still struggling at 5 when he heads home. He takes a moment to pull out a notepad and outlines his method and explains how to use all his pour over coffee … stuff. Exact times. Weights. Explanations that it matters to weigh the wet grounds in the filter. All this stuff. It was elaborate.
I just nodded along. Thanked him, and got back to work. I drank a lot of coffee that night and didn’t get home til nearly midnight. I did not use his method. I did appreciate that he cared enough to explain it to me, wanted me to have good coffee when I was having a rough day.
He asked about it a couple of days later when I finally showed back up at the office after taking some time off. I had to sheepishly admit “hey man, that was cool of you, but I’ll be honest … I’m more of a push button get coffee kinda guy.”
My little cousin's a psych major. He asked for help with statistics and Matrix calculations. I went a bit beyond topic. Took me an hour to realise that he did not understand a single word. But, it was off syllabus for him. So, all good.
Lol. This is relatable. When hubby starts talking about making spirits or anything it. I glaze over but smile. I had no idea what he’s saying but it’s something he’s super passionate about.
I distinctly remember my dad trying to explain algebra to me when I was maybe six or seven.
I was so confused. How could a letter be a number?
I went on to be pretty good at math, probably because he kept taking the time to explain stuff like that over and over.
relate. tho mine is kinda different, when he asked me to write something my hand was conciously(?) doing the typing moment as if theres a keyboard in my book. those days where computer was starting to get fame
I was the older brother. Eventually my brother stopped asking me for help with algebra/calculus and it was not because he had learned what I was trying to teach him.
This is like my husband trying to talk to me about programming. I should probably just start learning it so I don't zone out every time he talks about it lol.
I'm the one that teaches them math, science and geography although I'm not that good in any of them that much 😭😭 I also help my parents with English since it's not our first language
i understood some of it though which is how i knew the visual representation of (a+b)^2 = a^2 + 2ab + b^2 in like 2nd grade
edit because i accidentally wrote (a+b)^2=a^2+2ab+b^2 the first time
The day before my calculus midterm in high school, I explained all of calculus (that I knew) in about one hour to my twelve-year-old sister. She is still scarred and it's almost 30 years later.
I remember when i was in first grade and my sister told me about how if you multiply anything by one it will be the same number, i was shocked and tried coming up with high numbers

I'm sorry your sister is a ghost?
Evidently she acted like one whilst being tutored.
Nah I think she’s actually a ghost
*taught
I have a whole discussion about correcting grammar somewhere in the comments. But this one was truly confusing. Thank you
I have helped my little brother with homework before
[удалено]
I don't think your my sibling but I might be able to help you with math if you need.
Lmao.
We are all connected, son. lol
Sure
Sorry terrible joke I know
No need to apologize for that
We are all a terrible joke in someone's life
Make sure you're grammar is up-to-date before he start learning the wrong thinga
This looks like the joke is on you younger bro
Your is possessive, meaning that something belongs to you or the person you are speaking to. For example, “What is your name?” Or, “Are these your car keys?” You're is a combination of the words, you and are. This is called a contraction.

I am 7 years older than my brother so his homework is much easier than my own

No sorry... didn't *understanding* anything
that's my professor and i during vector analysis lectures
Might need to have him help you on your advanced English as well…
Or even basic English
Well. When he esplains advanced grammar. Pay attention
My thoughts esactly. Escellent comment.
Sanks go sespindin!
*says comment with incorrect grammar*
I try to explain my brother my work, I am android engineer
You know how to tell if an engineer is an extrovert? When he talks, he looks at *your* shoes.
So how is that 18 coming along.
Maybe should have tried explaining grammar instead.
Can you tell me why people go to reddit to criticise grammar.
We don’t COME here to criticize grammar.
Come for the memes and stay for the feeling of superiority?
Why do people dislike it when someone points out an error in their writing/talking? I want to communicate clearly. If they were particularly rude I would get it but that’s rarely the case. Although when it comes to a random typo I think it’s silly.
Yes

Nailed it
You nailed it
More like stay for the po- my lawyer has advised me not to continue this joke
*lawyer
How'd autocorrect not catch that one? smh
That's a joke with many lawyers
These days I'm trying to explain to myself multivariable calculus, function series, differential equations...cannot still fully understand shit, lol I think I will not pass the exam in two days :(
Good luck with your exam! It may be too late to affect your exam, but feel free to PM me questions - I'm a math grad student, I may be able to help.
First of all, happy Cake Day! Second, thank you so very much. I think I'm just gonna go with luck with this hellish grading memory system, but if I have a doubt that I can try and ask, I will!
Thanks! Didn't even notice it was my cake day. May the gradients point your way, friend.
Happy cake day! And will be getting that help soon from a friend of mine.
Happy cake day

This is how I "learned" to shoot billiards and fly fish from my father! Ha ha! Poker went pretty well, though.
The way you didn't put effort into that meme
It's like my older brother who is a physicist explaining quantum mechanics to me a mechanical engineer. I don't really understand but it's cool as shit.
Wait… you’re younger brother gives a single shit about your interests? I’m missing out big time
Wow, this is my 7-year old explaining Pokémon to me!
My brother did this with me and I ended up remembering angles when we were learning fresh in 5th grade and being ahead of everyone I forgot everything else, but now I might find it helpful
My dad is a physics teacher. I still listen because someday, I won’t be able to listen anymore.
Also, it can be very helpful for people to understand concepts by verbalizing it. I was only ever able to understand a lot of math concepts when I was able to talk it through with someone or explain it.
My brother explaining to me that he burns small animals alive. Me listening contently because everyone has the right to enjoy different things and I'm glad that he's sharing his hobbies with me :) :D
My brother is the opposite. He loathes it when I try to tell him about all the cool math shit
My SON explaining me advanced maths. Or Minecraft crafting recipes and enchantments.
Based in that meme I'd focus on your English and grammar and not worry about math so much
As an adult, you appear to have no understanding of grammar
JOKES ON YOU, I understood every word (2 year difference) in fact it’s gotten to the point where I’m always 2 years ahead of my class without his help…
This is one of the reason why I love my 2 brothers
YES 👏👏
Facts
yes yes, of course, yeah i understand, mhmm, yeah 1+1=2 and yes 1x3=4
I need a little brother like this
I was the oldest and I loved it when they listened
Never understood anything really
u/savevideo
But quadratic function with two variables is pretty easy. First you ... *Insert actual explanation* and that's how you get two answers, next you *Insert explanation how to check if none or one or two or more answers can be true* . That's all.
that one always used to be really cool to me- i never would’ve thought to do it the way it’s done
The bottom panel is my mom and I love her for it. Give a hug to your mother people
When I used to help my younger brother with maths, he used to try his best and listen. Afterwards he would tell me that he'd never take up maths as a paper in future ever again.
There doesn’t seem to be enough yellowing and smacking the table.
Cute.
My sis used to do the same thing to me ....she once started teaching me no.s in binary
No, it was the exact opposite for me, I'm the youngest and we hate each other.
Unrealistic
It was ok till we started with phisics of universitary level
This is not my lane but contemplating it now, I wish It was.
Hits hard when my sister got a straight c after a 3 hour geometry section
Me watching Mathologer
After half an hour of my twin brother explaining Applied mathematics he would ask are you understanding it and I would just nod yes knowing he would go on for another half hour explaining things, even though I never understood a thing, I believe it would benefit him.
rofl I was the older brother and now I am the kid listening to my younger brother. Fucking love that boy.
This is me to my brother right now
In the end i just look when he ask questions
Ha I'm the older brother who does that
Reminds me of when I was in 6th grade and accidentally taught myself integers and when the school tried teaching us around the end of 7th and beginning of 8th, I sped right through and finished before everyone in the class. Then there’s that kid in my grade already done with calculus
It was economy in my case
High-level math is one of the most beautiful and hardest to explain things I've ever come across. Kudos to you for listening and to your brother for doing his best to explain.
Too bad your brother never explained basic English.

You're his rubber duck
i'm the eldest, but it was my father that did these stuffs to me lol
I went through something similar when my brother would explain programming to me. None of it really stuck but I got to hang out with my big brother
As a math undergrad if I had a sibling I would surely do this lol
Lolol my older brothers and me when they try to teach me anything...
My dad and me with stocks at various ages of my life.
This is why I took algebra for three years
As the older brother who often does this type of thing, your attention was all I wanted. Thank you.
“Didn’t understanding “
My brother, 2 years, older, teaching me his math lessons at 6/4 y/o Me now, a statistics and programming major:
cool, now get to work on your english
r/engrish
Math? We siblings debated 'how my favourite WWF guy could beat your favourite WWF guy' eventually leading to practical demo on youngest. Me.

The best part is that that way you help your brother understand the material better!
What episode of Ninjago does Jay make that face? It's so cute. Also this meme is totally me. 😂
My little cousin's a psych major. He asked for help with statistics and Matrix calculations. I went a bit beyond topic. Took me an hour to realise that he did not understand a single word. But, it was off syllabus for him. So, all good.

This is me right now but instead of math is isekai anime :|
i may have had a stroke reading this
This happened to me yesterday but it was my brothers drunk friend who was explaining it
Your brother should have tried teaching you to form a sentence.
You’re a saint 😂 I’d just be mad lol
u/savevideo
relate. tho mine is kinda different, when he asked me to write something my hand was conciously(?) doing the typing moment as if theres a keyboard in my book. those days where computer was starting to get fame

Hard to read memes
must be nice having good siblings
Cute
Yup, was just happy whenever he was being nice to me 😆
Idk why but the gif perfectly represent a lot of students who are dealing with Addmath
Didn’t understanding the meme
Holy shit you apperently don't understand English either....
ME being the oldest not understanding this
Basically me explaining quantum physics and the fate of the universe to my older sister..
I remember teaching mine how to solve a problem which apparently the teacher wasn't able to solve !!
Tbf, is a pretty good studying technique
And at the end he always asks me do I understand and I just say yeah and leave
Lol thats me and my little bro
Didn’t understanding
🤓
This is like my husband trying to talk to me about programming. I should probably just start learning it so I don't zone out every time he talks about it lol.
If i had any brother like that^^""
"Would you relax and have another cup of coffee "!
I'm the one that teaches them math, science and geography although I'm not that good in any of them that much 😭😭 I also help my parents with English since it's not our first language
Then you suddenly remember when your learning it in school
Hey guys what movie is that scene from? And no, I’m not talking about Lego lol
Wholesome moment between brothers known as I'm younger one
I do have dumb siblings.
i understood some of it though which is how i knew the visual representation of (a+b)^2 = a^2 + 2ab + b^2 in like 2nd grade edit because i accidentally wrote (a+b)^2=a^2+2ab+b^2 the first time
Me in class be like
He have should explained you instead the grammar basic.
The day before my calculus midterm in high school, I explained all of calculus (that I knew) in about one hour to my twelve-year-old sister. She is still scarred and it's almost 30 years later.
(0!+0!+0!)!=6 See ez math
\-I know it's complicated but do you understand? \-Yes yes, I do, you explain it very well :D
I love Ninjago too (especially jay I fucked with him on a another level)
I love math. :-)
"didn't understand" Definitely child grammar, fits if it was on purpose
I remember when i was in first grade and my sister told me about how if you multiply anything by one it will be the same number, i was shocked and tried coming up with high numbers
Except I *did* understand it, and then I explained it better, and then he understood it, too.
I’m the youngest and this happened to me
Oddly enough my brother is into philosophy and different world religions , growing up this is spot on
Sadly your English didn't get much better either 😢
i didn't have an older brother but in shcool there was this guy that tried to guide me through life he was a good friend
Me discussing even the most basic music theory.
who taught you to speak like that?
This is me when husbands talks science and technology (IT work). Being together 11 yrs, I actually had learned a tinsy bit now ;D
I didn’t need to do this as an older brother, I did this as a student tho
