Benjamin banneker grew up in his fathers farm. After he started to learn how to read from his mother and grandmother. He read the bible to his family in the evening. He later started to teach himself to do history, mathematics and he enjoyed reading.
Benjamin Banneker did most of his work in a small cabin on his family's farm in Maryland. It was in this cabin that he conducted his astronomical observations, constructed his clocks, and wrote his almanacs.
The obstacles that Benjamin Banneker faced are not that he went to a Quaker school, but that he had to live deal with a farm without help because his grandparents and parents died, his three sisters were married, living away from the farm, and wouldn't go back to the farm because they had their own family and worries to take care of.
yes
Benjamin lived on his father's farm and attended a nearby Quaker country school for several seasons. He received no further formal education but enjoyed reading and taught himself literature, history, and mathematics
Oh, dude, Benjamin Banneker was homeschooled! Yeah, he didn't need no fancy school to become a self-taught mathematician and astronomer. Like, who needs a school when you can just teach yourself, right?
Benjamin Banneker was born on November 9, 1731, in Baltimore County, Maryland. His father, Robert, was a freed slave who purchased a farm, and his mother, Mary, was the daughter of an Englishwoman and an enslaved African. Banneker was largely self-educated, learning mathematics and astronomy through self-study and practical application on his family's farm. His upbringing in a mixed-race family and his early exposure to science and mathematics laid the foundation for his later achievements as a mathematician, astronomer, and surveyor.
