What should I do to get more good at math?

Question

Give me some advice. Best Answer.Best 10 points.

Answer 1

E,M,H
Pay attention more in class at school and take notes on formulas and basic facts. Underline every word your teacher said because that means that's important. That word could be on a test. Remember what your teacher said.
Library
Go to the library in your school or in a public library and take a math book and read it. Borrow the book if you'd like to. Take notes on formulas or basic facts.
Home
Use a calculator and study and take notes on formulas and basic facts. Solve algebraic equations to study more so you can remember them if you have any tests.
Want to solve algebraic equations? Answer them below.
Supplies
Go to a store and buy some of this stuff listen below
Supplies:
Journal (80pgs.)
Calculator
Pencil (5)
Highlighter (any color)
Pen (any color)
Math Woorkbook (based on your grade level or higher grades)
Paper (1000pgs.)
Formulas:
A=LW
Area=LengthxWidth
C=APR
Circumference=AreaxPixRadius
E=MC2
Energy=MassxSL(Speed of Light)squared(multiplied by itself).
S=AA
Sum=Addend+Addend(depends on unit).
Algebraic Equations:
3a + 2a=__ (depends on formula, A+B=X).
TT2=___(2=squared,multiplied by itself).
3+-2=__(one - =one-on sum, two-=none-on sum).
Hope this help, Vaugh P.

Well...okay. First to start, you need to have a base, strong, foundation. Like a house. A house needs a foundation to be strong and sturdy. Same thing with math.
Just doing math problems all the time would not make a true, sturdy foundation, instead, it'll be a fake foundation almost--->made out of wood.
Instead, you need to really remember the basic concepts and reinforce them whenever you learn something. And don't just memorize formulas...formulas, formulas, formulas...yeah! you memorized them, great, but if your really want to be an expert, ask yourself, "Why?"
Ex:
A = lw.......but WHY is the formula like that? What's the significance....etc etc
It's best to use your best learning method. Some are visual, kinetic, music, logic....etc etc. So if you're visual, draw the problem out! List out all the steps, reason, understand, so you'll get a solid understanding. First time could be tricky, but keep asking yourself questions, "Why is this answer wrong?" "Have I used the order of operations correctly?"
If you just keep doing the problems without understanding, chances are, later on (well maybe), you're going to have a hard time! You'll forget all the stuff, you could forget the simplest things from even Pre-Algebra! You MUST have a strong foundation to start from the very beginning...then racing to the top!
Now, basically, just keep doing what you're supposed to be doing. Yeah, once you have a strong foundation, continue doing more problems and practice! But always always remember to ask those questions and use visual diagrams...and etc etc to understand. Once you keep doing those problems, you'd get it in a snap. And remember, keep at your pace, don't try rushing unless you can look at a problem and figure it out quickly. Even in school, they may hurry you, but just try your best doing some extra at home to get better.
Oh yeah, and keep in mind of all the math rules. Make sure you memorize them, and once again...WHY! And even figuring out the reason...,no matter how long it takes, all by yourself...can definitely make your ability in math better and you even remember it more. hooray!
And if you make mistakes or get things wrong in tests. Do not worry! Just go home and fix all the mistakes, and always always ask questions. Do whatever you can to understand why you got it wrong!
P.S: One other tip. I know shortcuts...they're handy dandy...
BUT, first, try NOT using shortcuts, use the hard way. You struggle, but through that you get only better! Calculators...etc try not using them at first until you are a master in that particular area...

Answer 3

Your age level and current experience will change what you need to do. The best thing I can recommend is to make sure you know all your basic facts inside and out. (Adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing numbers from 0 to 10 or 11) Once you have those down really well, all the other math should be easier, or at least simpler to do. If you are much more advanced than this already, I mean no insult. It was just hard to answer without knowing where you stand. If you add more details, I'll update my answer to be more specific.

Answer 4

Just keep doing math problems. Wherever your weak point is, do at least 20 problems of that type every day. You'll get better and faster. Try timing yourself and keep track of the times. Brain Age, for the Nintendo DS will time you for simple math problems, though I don't think you want to pay for a video game just for that. The entire game does help speed up many mental processes if you play it every day. Sometimes your times will go down, especially if you're tired, but in the long run I've gotten a lot better. Of course, if you don't have a DS to begin with pencil and paper does just fine.

Answer 5

Math was not one of my strong points. As a result, I would look in the preface of allthe mathbooks and see if they had workbooks to go with the math book. I would then order the workbooks (or ask my parents to order it) then I would do every problem in the workbook as well as the regular book and the homework.

I got through all of HIgh school, college and even graduate level math classes doing that. It took a lot of time to do this, but I did do it.

Answer 6

don't be afraid to ask for help, the chances are if you are having a problem, someone else probably is too. If you don't feel comfortable infront everyone, wait until study hall or after class. Be sure to pay attention in class, and took good notes, and write were you can read them.Don't leave you homeowrk on the table or infront of the mirrior. go to bed at a reasonalbe hour, and keep your chin up.

Answer 7

Well I think that u should talk to ur parents about maybe getting a tudor. When u get home form skool instead of goofing off start studying. If u have questions don't be afraid to ask. If u have a friend that is good at math study with her/him after skool and ask her/him for help but don't cheat off they're paper 'cause that never gets u anywhere.

Answer 8

I know what situation you are in. I sux at math. Go to tutoring. I did that and now I'm an A and B student!!! Whenever you dont understand something ask the teacher right away. Ask if you can meet with your teacher before or after school. Ask your parents, friends to help you. Do you have friends in that math class with you that understand what is going on in your math class? Ask them for help!!!
hope this works out for you!!

Answer 9

Pay attention in class. Ask questions when you don't get something. Try flash cards, or on line games. Tutoring is always an option. Ask an adult or even a sibling. There are several ways. Hope you find one the suits you.

Answer 10

Don't you mean "better" instead of "more good"?

First you should learn how to write using correct grammar. :P

You just practice and practice. Practice doing problems, find different ways to arrive to the same solutions. Get a tutor to coach you and work through problems together first - then by yourself.
