how did you get through algebra one? Help me!?

Question

I need help surviving algebra! Do you have any good suggestions on websites or anything?

Answer 1

refer to notes.
ask. always ask your teacher, before DURING and after class to go overview things you are not sure about.

go on google.com: search::: algebra 1 notes or enter your topic of algebra 1

hire a tutor

go to your local library, there should be tutors available for free or for a small fee hopefully

go to this site: http://www.solanolibrary.com/web/

THEN CLICK on FREE HOMEWORK HELP FROM ONLINE TUTORS

it will be located at the bottom right or the bottom left. it is always on the side bar.

Answer 2

math is all about terminology. If you undestand the terminology then the rest will begin to make sense.

get some 3x5 cards

write the term that you need to learn on one side
write the meaning on the other

for example
denominator (on one side of the card)
the bottom portion of a fraction (on the opposite side of the card)

spend 10 minutes EVERY day going through your cards
forwards and backwards

Like I said once you understand the terminology, the rest should start to fall into place. though if you need to get caught up in class, a tutor (or a friend that is good at math) might be in order.

Answer 3

don't make it harder than it has to be..... algebra is simply figuring out what value you don't know. that's all there is to it.

for example 6+X=8. you can see that the thing you don't know a value for,X is 2. that's the entire principal to algebra. don't get bogged down in the language.

a big aid would be to form a study group of five or six people who bring different skills to the group. maybe one is good at one thing and someone else is good at something else but together you'll both excel..... you'll want to join a study group when you get to college so now is a good time to get started.

Answer 4

Try this book- Algebra the Easy Way by Douglas Downing. It really does simplify a lot.

And don't worry, I took Algebra I twice because I didn't get it at all. Sometimes it just takes your brain another year to mature.

Answer 5

Hope you are religious..seems math tests make children so. There are many good web sites. My favorite is coolmath.com. It has sites for study skills, and teaches the math in easy terms. You teacher will, also, help if you ask.

Answer 6

I didn't have the help of the internet when I was in High School. I studied and payed attention in class. Give it a try, it just might work!

Answer 7

get a tutor or see if you can find someone in high school that is good in math but a tutor is the best for you at this point.

Answer 8

Hey, the best help is you brain. Study, study and do more studying. Peace out :-)
