confuse

Though I normally find it easy, my math homework sometimes can confuse or puzzle me, making it hard to figure out. Today I’m confused or finding things unclear because my homework is full of new problems and difficult charts. I find it helpful to take a walk outside when things confuse or trouble me. Problems that confuse or upset me at first often seem easier after I take a short break!
