When I think, when solving math equations, problems, I don't think about em but I think about something else. Is this the cause of my failure?
What goes through your mind when you solve math problems, how do you think?

I break down the problems piece by piece and then think of the equation i need to use to solve it and then plug in the appropriate values for the variables

Through my mind eh, being a yr 12 student, & studying maths, i am always concetrating on the idea of how the problem can be solved, most of my friends just memorise the process involved in getting the answer, but that isnt maths. Maths is the understandment of numbers & the order in which they function. Take for example division & fractions, the thing that comes up is i have 'this many' of 'so many' groups, i think pictorially, not just numbers & random letters, the logic behind the numbers is what sets people apart from actuall mathematicians to ordinary number counting.

Probably! When I'm solving a math problem I'm thinking it out and not listening to anyone else although I can hear them. I try to zone out everything else and solve the problem! Then I have a good chance of solving it correctly. I like it to be quiet though so I can think.

the easy ones, that is the homework questions here on yahoo , i dig them up in my memory. That is i read the question and almost immediatly parts of the anwer bubbles up.
difficult ones , or ones i have never seen before i relate to familiar ones that looks like the same, if this is possible of course.
the really hard ones , i play with them, make little drawings, i goe the entirely wrong direction, and can come up with something compeltely else but , at first sight interesting or promising, and after one night sleep i notices it was nothing special. This can go on for days, weeks, then there should be something, i should understand the problem by then. anyway what is on my mind is basicly ' i want to solve this ' and some vage structures , the drawings .

while solving the maths problem only the possible solution comes to my mind

ok mr tiger
u have analyzed ur prob so thats great
ok i was really bad at maths but u c i've improved a lot
wen u work out problems concenterate only on that problem
read the problem many times before u start working on 'em
understand and then start working
learn the formulaes byheart it helps a lot.........
ALL THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i concentrate on the sum bcoz maths is very interesting but u can't do well in this subject untill u stick ur mind on it...moreover a problem from which i often suffered is careless mistakes!but i have almost overcome it by listening to my elder's advice for practicing maths daily atleast for two hours.......

you should not think at all because math problems have a way of solving themselfs.

I usually think how many different ways may have to solve it ? Am I in the easiest way?
