Contrary to popular belief, math is not a difficult subject. It just requires more mental power than other subjects...unfortunately, something a lot of children do not like to use. Critical thinking skills, attention to detail, speed and accuracy are components which contribute to obtaining the best grades. Here are some tips to becoming a well-rounded math student.
- Underline key words in the directions and problems - this will help you figure out what operation, formula, etc. to use and prevent you from selecting the obvious wrong answer
- Show your work - work the problem out on paper
- Check your work - This means redo the problem, not just look at it
- Re-do all problems missed on homework and find your mistakes - now you will be ready for the test
- Memorize the formulas and during the test write them on your scrap sheet of paper if the teacher permits - you will have to use these formulas to answer the problem, so why not write them down as soon as the test begins.
I hope these tips are helpful. Please feel free to share your thoughts.
