Practice. Always do your homework. And learn why something is done, not just how.

Is the derivative of your social life positive? If so, something needs to change.

dont hold in your questions just because youre shy or scared. if you are too scared, then ask the teacher after class, before class, after school, or before school. if nothing works, get a tutor.

practice and ask your teacher questions if you don't understand something.

Math is mostly hands-on experience. Most of the time you're not going to be able to learn everything from the book. Assuming your teacher gives lectures on chapters of the book, just pay attention to how he/she explains it and you'll do fine.

I agree with everyone else... repitition, always listen to lectures, don't be afraid to ask questions and understand what is happening and why is it happening
oh and... don't always rely on calculators. Where I'm from, you're not allowed to use calculators in exams... especially college entrance exams. I don't know about others, though... might be the same. |

Always pay attention in class while the teacher's writing something on the board, watch him do it THEN copy it down, don't copy it while he's explaining or you will miss the explanation, which is what you need to understand the problem.
I don't know about your book, but our book has the answers to the odd problems in the back of the book, so if yours has that, you can always try a couple odd ones then check the back of your book to see if you got it right. Ask questions in class if you don't understand, because it will just get worse if you go on not understanding it. Do NOT skip homework assignments. |

 I'm happy, are you? Group: Member Posts: 291 Joined: Jan 2006 Member No: 345,268 |
The most important advice in my opinion is to ASK QUESTIONS! Always do this whenever you are unsure. Don't ask your friends either. Unless they're in the same class as you. I've always found asking friends who don't really know how your teacher is teaching things can often confuse you more than help you. So ask your own teacher. So many times I didn't do this and I regreted it. The times I did I was so glad. I was able to learn so easily and keep up with the class. If you are really afraid to ask in class ask after class.
If you never ask you'll start getting more and more behind till you either need to spend a couple lunch/after school sessions with your teacher just to get it all sorted out. So a quick question after/during class is much better. It'll save you a lot of worrying and stress in the future. |
