Yet despite how basic this kind of math may seem, the mechanics of mathematics remains a mystery to many of us because we've been taught to focus solely on our answers. But in the opinion of award-winning Professor James A. Sellers of The Pennsylvania State University, a true understanding of basic math involves more than just arriving at the right solution. It involvesproperly understanding the nature of numbers and mathematical concepts,paying close attention to the step-by-step processes behind different calculations, andthinking about what you're solving for—and why you're solving for it in a specific way.
This more well-rounded approach to the basics of mathematics is a surefire way to strengthen your current knowledge or to gain new skills for more deftly and confidently approaching and dealing with math.
