Common Misconceptions Misconceptions about Math Class.. The Truth about Math Class… It is a new weird math. There is only one way to get the right answer. It is too confusing. Students can arrive at the answer any way that works mathematically. They just need to be able to show me how. I will show more than one approach to every problem. Even though the book and homework are on the computer, students still show their work through their spiral.
