Maths derp moments (2 Viewers)

[Web Addict]

Hopefully, these derp moments don't happen in our upcoming HSC exams.

2 x 3 = 5... LOL

Do this all the time!


Also sometimes I completely forget how to factorise, like I never even learnt it, and I can't remember until my teacher explains it again...

 

[Carrotsticks]

Extension half yearlies: 2-1=1

Yeah.

what

Worst derp moments of HSC.
1. 3u inequalities question. I draw the graph, and write down my final answer as the exact opposite of what i had on the graph.
2. (pi/4)^2=pi/4 (dont even ask)
3. Polynomials question, i do 2 pages of working and get to the final line, multiply everything by 2 to get a monic equation and f*ck it up.
4. Didnt read the Q properly for an integration Q, ended up doing heaps of painfully long working.
5. Polynomials, working got too messy and i didnt see the negative seen so 3(-1) became 3 on the next line... Cost me 2 marks

Yeah.

Yeah. Do that all the time.

5x = 3
5x/3 = 0
:/

 

[Menomaths]

Sometimes I do maths. Biggest derp moments

 

[RealiseNothing]

Oh you mean like this individual?

Any chance you get carrot, any chance you get.

 

[RealiseNothing]

Yep kinda, though I don't top the state in maths competitions

Don't expect too much from the BOS trials lol.

Lol haha after looking at that 2u marathon thread I'm thinking this too.

 

[AsianFrustratio]

shit I derped. That was supposed to be 1-1=1 -.-

 

[HeroicPandas]

Many times in year 8 and 9, I've always got the very first question wrong (like a simple factorisation or expanding question)

 

[ForOneEon]

The curse of forgetting the | in +. I've lost so many marks for leaving it as -.

 

[Amundies]

11^2 = 144 in my MX2 trial. Would have got 90 without that mistake which rubs salt into the wound
I know a friend who wrote 8^2 = 16, and he also drew a horizontal asymptote as a vertical asymptote, true genius style

 

[enoilgam]

2 x 3 = 5... LOL

That's my mistake (which I made on two occasions in year 11). There are literally so many I cant think of them beyond that one.

You can remove sillies from ur exams guise, its just a matter of practice!

Unfortunately there have been multiple occasions where I'd do the exam twice since I'd finish early

And I'd make the same silly mistake twice =)

yeh and also concentration and focus play a huge role

Biggest derp moment. Sy and other people who did CSSA trial.

You know the circle geometry. They were 2 circles overlapping each other with cylic quads within them. one of the questions were to prove another set of points were cyclic. so I got lazy and didn't draw the diagram, so I worked off the booklet. so I drew a circle around the points to help me visualise, coz there were lines everywhere. I drew it the first time, but I had one of the wrong points, tried a second time and not using a rule, u can now imagine the shit on the diagram. and at that point I couldn't even do the question cause I didn't know what the original diagram was.

I always do circle geo diagrams with a compass, but i know that crowded feel... One time i had like every possible line construction with like 10 points (you can do the maths on how many lines)

Better said than done... I've done every question in my textbook TWICE back to front, front to back and I still make silly mistakes :S
