Maths homework

How has your Mathematical Knowledge been acquired? Give examples how this has happened in an experiential, practical and propositional method.
How would you account for the following features that seem to belong particularly to mathematics: some people learn it very easily and outperform their peers by years; some people find it almost impossible to learn, however hard they try; most outstanding mathematicians supposedly achieve their best work before they reach the age of 30? Share your personal experience in the subject.
Come to next lesson with a piece of mathematical knowledge that you are sure is true. You may be required to prove your statement.
Also bring a selection of coloured pencils. Very important!
