@nellie_m Same! I'm poor with mental calculation, but I love the logic behind mathematics.
LOL. I remembered (Grade 9 and 10) some of my exams wherein I failed because my solutions were weird. I did arrive at the correct answers, but getting there was what's graded more. (And my teacher then understood the way I think, so she showed me why I was wrong by testing my way against other rules. I really appreciated she explained it.)
I don't like maths, but ended up being chosen as class maths teacher substitute in Grade 6. Our maths teacher saw something, I guess how I understand the logic behind it, even though I can't do mental calculations. (Don't even ask me about my multiplication table for 6, 7, 8, and 9. Hahahah.)
