Mathematics is a skill that can be improved with practice and determination. If you are fed up with not getting good grades in this subject, change your approach and apply the advice from this article. You will see results after a few weeks or months of commitment.
Steps
Method 1 of 3: Get Help
Step 1. Ask your teacher or parents to help you
Asking for help is fine - no one will help you if you don't ask. Your parents might be happy to get you tutored; individual lessons can be very useful when you have the will to improve.
Step 2. Ask for help from the best students
Ask them what methods they use to study math. You might even make some new friends.
Method 2 of 3: Studying with Greater Concentration
Step 1. Don't be intimidated by math
If Ramanujan has been able to learn math for himself and get to prove Euler's theorem on his own, you can easily get better grades and broaden your math knowledge. Read the story of the mathematicians who made contributions to the topics you are studying. This can help you be more interested in the topics you study, giving you the inspiration to look like these people and come to understand their way of thinking.
Broaden your mind. If you close your mind and throw in the towel, you are unlikely to be able to learn math. Try to appreciate it
Step 2. Turn off and eliminate all distractions
Put away your cell phone, turn off the TV and radio, leave the music alone. Aim to really focus on studying in the time you have decided to dedicate to it. There will be plenty of time for the rest afterwards.
Step 3. Review your lecture notes
Also read the topics on the textbook. This way you will better understand the topics covered.
- Listen carefully. What the teacher says is important and they are things you will need to remember.
- Take lots of notes. If you take notes, you have some material to study and you will be able to remember math concepts much easier.
Step 4. Be persistent
Practice makes perfect, so get back on your horse every time you fall. If you practice as hard as you can, you will get results.
Take on each task and go further. Go beyond classroom assignments: find extra exercises to assess and improve your understanding
Method 3 of 3: Classroom Assignments and Queries
Step 1. Study thoroughly for classwork and questioning
When there is a check coming up, study in regular and early sessions instead of slaving away the night before. If you study hard and in advance, you will be better off than if you leave everything to do at the last moment.
Step 2. Don't get stressed out about a class test or question
If you get too excited, you won't understand anything. This can happen for obvious things like… not having reviewed. You know you can do it again: use this awareness to eliminate anxiety.
Step 3. Do your best
This way you will get the best results.
Step 4. Your grades should improve at this point
If you really do your best and follow all these steps, you can start getting good grades. Power!!
