I'm an adult who can't do basic math. Am I retarded?

Depends.
Can't you do it because you are actually retarded or can't you do it because you haven't learned the concepts?

>> No.10965063

>>10965057

You almost certainly would have to have some kind of learning disability to not be able to do that.

Or he didn't learn how to do it. You need to learn the concept for long division before you can do it.

this guy gets it

You don't need to know how to perforn long division in order to understand the concept of division.

just stop your'e embarrassing yourself

That's true, but long division is pretty weird.

I'm not saying he's retarded, I'm saying he might have some level of dyscalculia or similar, and thus require adapted teaching.

Define, basic.

I'm actually the same
>Addition, subtraction, division, and multiplication.
I'm just too lazy to be bothered and when I'm actually forced to I seize up and don't trust my conclusion. I've become dependent on calculators

do you mean like multivariable calculus?... or just calculus 1?
