    Well your main issue is that your teacher is sucky. If your teacher was good i reckon you would enjoy it a lot more. I have a great teacher for math who i get along with and is very good at explaining things so i enjoy it despite having around 10 periods of it a week.

    My suggestion is either perhaps try and change teacher or math set if thats possible to a teacher you prefer more? if not then the internet is a great source for everything, there will be tons of videos and blogs on just about every topic, so you're bound to find something that you will like.

    some youtube channels i can suggest are: The Video Math Tutor, Mathademics, Khan Academy, Numberphile etc.

    Hope this helps

    Dakota, your school is perhaps not helping you, but Math is much different than your other subjects. It

    really isn't a matter of getting a grade. You see, you wrote a terrible question, or problem description to us

    in English, and yet you say that you are getting an "A" in English. But you show no evidence of this ability

    when you write. Math has nothing to do with how well you exercise diplomacy with your teacher; you do well

    with your English teacher, and poorly with your Math teacher. Math classes have to do with problem solving,

    and logical thinking. Are you willing to work harder? Your English could do with some improvement, and so

    could your math, but it will take some work, and some thought. Memorization isn't the answer.

    Check out Khan Academy, take a lower-level math course before this one, see your teacher outside of class hours. Practice practice practice until your hand hurts and you run out of lead and paper. It takes work and extra time but the outcome can be very rewarding. No one is bad at math; it just requires a different approach and some of us need more time learning the material than others. Good luck.

    Youtube whatever u wanna learn. Or get a friend who is good at maths to help you.

    Get this yeah. Once you understand maths, the key word is understand not learn you will love it. You don't need a sharp memory or good immagination for maths. Just good guidance and hard work.

    You should totally work ahead in the book - use youtube and solve the problems (all of them) in the text book ahead of the class getting there. You have the book - so it's not like you don't know what the next topics are going to be. The youtube teachers will make is SOOOO easy for you, even if your teacher is off his face.

    Either drop to a lower math class, or get your parents to hire you a private tutor asap.

    Math can be your best friend if you just learn to let it be.

    It's mostly an IQ thing, but you can try to get a tutor.

    Have you tried a study group?

    Flash cards are still good way to memorize.
