For many, math homework is bland and sloppy. However, if you have a bad math homework record, or think you can't understand math no matter how hard you put in, doing a math homework will be a terrible and boring experience. Either way, math is feasible once you know the basics well.
Steps
Part 1 of 3: Before the Class Assignment
Step 1. Pay attention in class
If you don't listen to the teacher in class, how do you think it is possible to pass the assignment? This is why it is important to listen to the math teacher when she speaks. To pay attention, remove anything from the desk that might distract you, including iPads, laptops, notes passed with a classmate, and anything exciting you were trying to read. Look at the teacher and listen attentively. If you need to look at the board, be sure to do so.
- If you are in a place where you cannot see, hear or concentrate, ask the teacher to move places (or just change places if no permission is required).
- Take notes. Taking notes is very important, as they will serve as a recap of the lesson to help you study for the test. Use a squared notebook and pencil, and write down any key information the teacher says or writes on the board. Remember that you will be studying from your notes, so try to write neatly and neatly. Write each example if you think it will help you.
- Get involved. Don't you hate the fact that when you are questioned you don't know the answer? If you had been paying attention, you would have known, but sometimes you just don't know the answer. Try participating in class. It will help you understand the information and show your teacher that you can understand the problem and get involved.
- Remember that there is nothing wrong with giving the wrong answer, so try to give the answer you think is the most correct. Better to show enthusiasm than to always have the right answer.
Step 2. Ask questions
Everyone, even the smartest, asks questions. And if you feel stupid, remember that Chinese saying "people who ask questions are stupid for five minutes, those who never ask questions are forever". So speak … and fear not.
- The truth is, there are no stupid questions, there are only stupid answers.
-
Ask your teacher during class, or after class if you think it might embarrass you.
If you still can't understand, go to the teacher after class, during recess, or after school to discuss problems. Helping you understand is his job
Step 3. Do your homework
Almost everyone despises homework, but it is actually assigned for a reason, to help you understand the lesson by letting you use the information you have learned on your own. When you have homework to do, write it in your journal to make sure you don't forget it. Remember to take it home, and if you need the math book too, bring that too.
- Ask your teacher if you can find the textbook online so you don't need to take it home. Nowadays it has almost become the norm.
- When doing your homework, make yourself comfortable but not too comfortable, eliminate any distractions such as electronic devices and put yourself in a well-lit room. Try to put yourself in a quiet place where you can be alone. If you need it, put some pop music in the background, some people benefit a lot.
- Always follow the instructions dictated in class and check your homework well. If you get stuck on an issue, come back later or ask siblings / parents / friends / classmates for help. For short answer exercises, write complete sentences and mark them with titles.
Step 4. Study
The study rule applies to homework. Studying requires concentration, so don't think you can study while doing something else. Get all the materials you need to study, such as notes, a math book, a study guide, and / or homework.
-
To learn math-related vocabulary, try using flash cards and looking up word definitions.
Ace a Math Test Step 4Bullet1 - Try solving problems on the internet or in your textbook.
- Focus more on what you don't know if you already know the rest.
- Since repetition is very important in math, make sure you mess up until the lesson gets stuck in your head.
- Try studying with a friend, have them check if the answers you give are correct and ask them about mathematical words. If you can't be physically together, try to have an email exchange to that effect.
- Add a pinch of fun. Pretend that you are a contestant in a rewards program and that you have to answer math questions to win. Have a friend come over to do their homework together. Then flip the flash cards and say the correct answer before another friend.
- Know that there are many study methods, so find yours and go at the pace that works best for you. Remember to study at your level. If you overdo it, you will get tired and just confused. Start with the simplest problems, and then gradually move on to the more difficult ones.
Step 5. Get enough sleep
Although you have to study, you should avoid doing it all night! Sleep matters too, so make sure you sleep for at least eight hours (or sleep as much as you need, 6 to 9 hours anyway).
Sleep is needed to remember long-term information. The material studied must be "fixed" with sleep. If you don't sleep for a period of time, you can't store new information
Step 6. Clear your mind of anything that does not have to do with the math test
It will keep you focused on what you need to do to pass the class test.
Part 2 of 3: Class Assignment Day
Step 1. Have a healthy breakfast
A healthy, balanced breakfast should be eaten every day, but it's especially important to do it on the day of your math test, or any other class assignment, so that your brain gets the energy it needs to think. Eating before the task allows you not to feel hungry and ensures you have good concentration to be able to pass it. Don't overeat or you may feel heavy and sick. A well-balanced and concentration-fueling breakfast contains roughly these elements:
- Protein - Protein is great for the brain. Try to put oatmeal or cheese slices in your breakfast.
- Water - Drink water before and after the test to hydrate yourself.
- Fruit - fruit is one of the best foods for the brain, especially bananas! Nibble on some blueberries, they are great and contain a lot of nutrients.
- Iron and Vitamin B - these vitamins and minerals will keep you physically and mentally strong. Cereals, eggs and wholemeal flour (such as toasts) will be of great help.
Step 2. Relax
Breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth slowly three times.
- Get comfortable in the chair (but not too much), close your eyes and focus on your breathing for a couple of seconds. If you need to, change your position during the task to make yourself more comfortable, find the position where you can give your best and stay focused.
- Remove any possible distractions, such as books or highlighters, from the desk.
- Don't think about fear, keep positivity and calm. Promise yourself to give your best and know that whatever vote you take, you deserve it based on the efforts you have made.
- Avoid thinking about other people's work or where they are on the test. Focus on you. Whatever you do, don't copy, anybody doesn't need that anyway. Tests are a way of judging your abilities and not your ability to copy your neighbor's homework.
- Be sure of yourself. Repeat mantras in your mind such as "I can do it" or "I will do my best in this task". Making these statements can help you relieve stress so you can get off to a great start. Never think or say things like "I won't get over this", it could stress you out even more. Smile to yourself, sit with your back straight and get ready to do the task.
Step 3. Read the delivery
This may seem obvious and trivial, but sometimes those who do a class assignment forget to read the instructions dictated by the teacher and lose points or grades for this reason.
-
The first thing to put on a test is your name. If your name is not on the test, no one will be able to attribute it to you. You also have to put the date, the class, and the teacher's name.
Ace a Math Test Step 9Bullet1 - Then read the assignment carefully, or follow the teacher as he explains it. Make the appropriate adjustments if the teacher tells you to (listen carefully, don't panic), or ask if there might be any mistakes if you find one.
- Always read the instructions before solving problems, and pay attention to words such as minor to major, sum, difference, product, quotient and about.
- As you read the assignment, if you find any of the words listed above, make a note so that you meet the requirements. Underline, circle, highlight, anything that draws your attention to important phrases, words, and instructions.
Step 4. Start the task
When you feel you can, start the task. It can be helpful to keep the order of execution to make sure you don't skip any questions, or to start with the simpler problems and then go back to the more difficult ones, making sure you haven't skipped any of them. It's up to you to decide, follow the order that you think is most effective, as long as you have a method for checking the skipped questions.
-
For multiple choice questions, read the questions, then do the math. After look at the answers given to you. Make sure you read them all before choosing one. If the answers match, select it.
If you find it difficult, remember that there are always two answers that are totally different from the true one, and two that are closer, one of which is And the correct one. Totally different answers are wrong, so you can eliminate them right away and focus on the two closest to the correct one.
- Don't panic about problems. Many hate math problems, you are not alone. Read the problem, highlight / circle the numbers and important information. Think to yourself, "Is there any information I don't need?" and eliminates unnecessary information.
- Try to understand what is being asked (usually the last sentence).
- Avoid silly mistakes, like forgetting to add a "0" or not marking an answer.
- Choose an action to fix the problem. Will you make a sum? A subtraction? A multiplication? A division? Look at keywords, such as "more than", "product" and "division". Then solve the problem.
Step 5. Check the answers
Many think they have answered everything perfectly, and do not bother to correct their answers. This can become a bad habit, as there may actually be something wrong or something missing, so check always the answers, even if you think you've done everything correctly. You can easily have made a mistake.
- A good way to check again is to cover the answer and fix the problem again. Look at the original answer, if the two coincide then you did well.
- Check that you have written the name, and see if you have missed any questions. If you missed something, add it, and check the numbers and titles of the exercises or other mistakes. Then, hand in the assignment.
Part 3 of 3: After the class assignment
Step 1. Pat yourself on the back for a job well done
You should be proud of yourself for completing the task, so sit back, relax and wait for the results. Remember that whatever grade you take, you deserve it, because it is the fruit of your efforts.
Step 2. Avoid confronting others about the task just done
What is done and done and ruminating about how it should or could go only causes unnecessary worry.
Step 3. Once you've taken your grade, avoid bragging or crying about it
If you don't think you've done your best, talk to your teacher to find out if you have a chance to do it again. If you get a good grade, don't go around the class bragging.
Advice
- Do a clean job. Write the words and numbers clearly so they don't get confused with other words or numbers.
- Before submitting the test, check your answers to see if you missed any questions or made any mistakes.
- If you are allowed to use the calculator, take this opportunity. Or use it to check your work. If you are not allowed to use it during the assignment, do not!
- Sometimes studying with a partner can help. But if it distracts you, stop.
- Never read all the questions at once or it might make you nervous.
- Do not use the calculator when studying unless necessary. It might make things too easy for you and you would have trouble if you couldn't use it during the task.
Warnings
- Don't be afraid to ask questions. This is a chance to talk if you need help, so don't be afraid. Everyone has questions!
- Always ask permission before getting up. Otherwise your task may be considered incomplete.
- Don't wait until the night before your homework to study. It is difficult to learn everything in a night of study, you may feel pressured and you may not be able to do it anyway.
- Don't talk to anyone until you've finished the assignment. The teacher may think you are copying, and both of you may be nullified. If someone talks to you, ignore them. To avoid talking, sit next to someone you aren't tempted to talk to.
- Don't stress yourself out about the test. Stress deconcentrates. Take it easy.
- Do not cheat. Otherwise will you come discovered and you it will come assigned zero. It's not worth it. Apart from that, what do you hope to learn by copying? Even if you are not discovered, you will not develop any ability to solve mathematical problems, something that could affect the possibility of being able to delve into your fields of interest further on.
