For some people the most difficult subject to learn is mathematics, because it involves the knowledge of so many formulas, equations and notions that can sometimes overwhelm us! Studying this subject can be a heavy burden on your shoulders if you are a student and need a good grade in math. Read this article to find out how to be a genius in math and get good grades.
Steps
Step 1. Establish a lineup
Don't try to learn everything about math in one day. Pick a topic you want to tackle and become an expert on, such as units of measure or math graphs.
Step 2. Study the math suitable for your learning level, and do so using reliable sources
Searching for the term 'average, median, and mode' on Google is not a good idea. Find a good math book or website that is appropriate for your age.
Step 3. Read the lessons
Take notes on the most important notions and solve some examples of the problems.
Step 4. Practice solving some exercises
When you think you have mastered the lesson, look for some problems with the answers. Solve them and check that the answer is correct. Do not use a calculator unless asked to do so.
Step 5. Check your answers
If you answered exactly, proceed; if you are wrong, identify the error.
Step 6. Get help
After reading the lesson, solving the test exercises and checking your answers, consult someone who has a good knowledge of the subject (for example, a math teacher). Make sure your notes are correct, and check for any notions to study and know.
Step 7. Ask someone to write some practice exercises for you
Solve them and get the correct answer.
Step 8. You should always remember that practice makes perfect, and that no one solves everything correctly every time
If you're wrong, keep correcting yourself.
Step 9. Don't forget the lessons you have learned over time
Keep reviewing what you have learned.
Step 10. When a math test or exam comes up, study a couple of days in advance and consult with your teacher about any lessons you have missed or have not yet understood
Step 11. Before embarking on an advanced math class, try talking to someone who has already taken the course, and ask for problems to check if you are prepared
Also consult your teachers.
Step 12. Memorize the basic concepts of mathematics, it will help you at any time
Remember the rules of addition, subtraction, division, multiplication and any formulas. Even working with simple fractions involves the basic concepts of mathematics.
Step 13. If you fall behind with the theory, try hiring a tutor or taking an after-school math class
Advice
- Spend some time each day practicing math. Whether it's an hour or fifteen minutes, don't forget to practice!
- Don't wait until the last minute if you have a test or exam.
- A very important thing to keep in mind is not to try to solve the exercise in a hurry. You should initially get used to being very cautious and careful, so as to find a good solution to deal with the problem, or you may not be able to solve it. Most people are in too much of a hurry to start solving the problem without having a good strategy. Work with patience and method.
- Don't feel embarrassed if you have questions to ask when confused. Everyone asks questions.
- If you already know which topic will be covered in the next lesson, study it in advance so that you find yourself at an advantage.
- Don't take it for a bad grade. Instead, learn from your mistakes and correct them on a separate sheet of paper. This way you will be sure not to repeat them again. There is always a next time to improve.
- Reward yourself for achieving a good score in math, and set goals when a poor grade or an area of the subject comes up that you need to improve.
- Hang some math posters on the walls of your room. If you haven't memorized the multiplication tables, hang a poster with the multiplication table next to your bed. This way you can spend some free time memorizing it, you can also do it every time you can't sleep.
- Don't just use your math textbook! Buy more books to learn how to achieve ever more perfect results.
- When you are bored or have nothing to do, practice your math! Practice everything you can!
- Do not give up! Sometimes you may not understand concepts, just start with the basics.
- Mathematics is the only language known and used by everyone every day.
- As you practice improving math, ask parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles, friends and older siblings to help you.
- Learning math doesn't have to be a boring job. Look for some math games that can help you practice.
Warnings
- Try to get a good night's sleep the night before your math homework or exam. It is best not to stay up at night to review what you have studied.
- Never be anxious about tests or exams. Anxiety can lead you to make mistakes.
