Hi Guys & Gals,
I recently went for a job interview passed the technical test, the compentace test, the role play but failed the maths test :sad:
I am really rubbish at this sort of thing and was wondering if anyone could help me get me head around things. The sort of questions were things like 9 x ?=4-5x7 ect ... and then things like 2/3+? -(4x5)= and things like =10divided by ? (4+5) - 3 sort of thing not quiet like this but along these lines i have no idea what these are called let alone how to do them :sad:
I would like some one to explain things to me either through here or if not to far away i can come around to yours and you can show me how to do them.
Any sort of help would be greatfully received as i have to re sit it on tuesday i have been given the job on the understanding i can pass this maths test so i am really desperate to sort this out. If anyone knows of any good straight forward sites i can look at please send me the address.
Many thanks people xxxx

You have my sympathy I've always been a little number blind myself.....by way of reassurance however...I am a general machinist (engineer) and use maths everyday...all those sine and cosines that we were told we'd use at school but most people never do...and have no trouble.
Don't worry too much and good luck....I wish I could be of more help, but I'd be no use at all to you

I'm struggling with that too fumblingfingers. I failed O Level maths quite spectacularly, but once worked as a saw operator, and had to work out what angle and what length to cut a piece of aluminium so that a welder on piece work could make a thingie of a certain length with the right angle. These days I use really quite complicated formulae ((( for me? ))) to calculate compressional and tensional loads on individual components in a cantilever system. Can't link you to an easy explanation, but practice makes perfect.

For general maths help some people may find school books helpful. I don't mean those scary old-fashioned ones that look like a maths-monster sicked up all over them, covering the pages with an eye-twisting mess of numbers and symbols.
There are some fantastic practice books available in places like Asda or WH Smiths. They cover from early Key-stages (juniors and early secondary) through to GCSE and even A level. They have full, sensib;e explanations and pictorial guides to understand how the various maths things might be applied in the real world. OK, they are aimed at 7 to 16 year-olds, but I'm not sure that would be a real problem.
For instance

) with maths plus, minus, multiply and subtract have an order of priority
so for 9-5x2 there could be two possible answers: 8 or -1
found from (9-5)x2 or 9-(5x2)
so you need to follow the priority to find the correct answer. this also involes rewriting the equation with brackets to make it clear. ( i have forgotten which is which at the moment)

B Brackets ()
O Of
D Division /
M Multiplication x
A Addition +
S Subtraction -
If you have to solve equations its usually a case of isolating x by performing identical actions on both sides until you end up with a value for x
There's some good examples here with solutions;

That's right well done that fellow! BODMAS
That seems to be the main purpose of the kind of questions the op is going to be asked to solve.
'BODMAS' is the acronym for the rules for the order of mathematical priority when doing calculations.

I have the same problem. Failed O'grade maths pretty spectacularly too.
I bought a book for parents to help their kids by Carol Vorderman.
I've not quite got round to sitting down and reading it yet.
My mental block isn't ready.

It's scary... I flicked it open last night after I posted that and then put it back out of sight.

You just need to take it slow.One step at a time. Maths is not a big thing. Open the book. If you like PM me. I will not give you any answers, but will help you along.
My big problem is smelling. Sorry spelling. Since I started to spend to much time on a keyboard it has started to improve. All you need is to make a start and keep at it. I hated the writen word, but don't think about it much here. I'm having fun.
Don’t give up, and I mean it, PM me if you like.
