Answer 2

The very fact that you are asking this question shows that you just study math for the heck of it and have no interest at all. If you're not genuinely interested in the subject, it is going to be very, very tough to be very good in Mathematics. If there is a time to develop that interest, it is a very young age.

Fine, if you have interest, you must keep in touch. mathematics is one subject you do NOT want to get rusty at. Then you must start all concepts from scratch, which will definitely bring you down. So, practice daily, at least for an hour.

Interest + Practice = Perfect in mathematics


Take up problems that are based on the same concepts you study but test your application in a way different from most schools. That'll improve you even more.

If you have any doubts regarding a concept, or a specific problem, ASK. You will never get any doubts cleared by keeping them to yourself. Ask a relative who is good in Math, your school teacher, or use Yahoo Answers!

Answer 3

Find a friend to tutor you. Through High School Algebra, success in math is primarily confidence and attitude. A friend who's got it can coach you. Math at this level simply represents the world around you and you must see how simple it is rather than let it intimidate you.

You did not say how old you are. If you are 8th grade or younger, than you must work to memorize all your tables and work through all the exercises at home. Spend time puzzling over the problems even if you don't understand; when the teacher then explains them the next day you will probably understand. If you are beyond high school geometry and having trouble then its time to recognize your aptitude strengths and limits and plan accordingly. You won't be an engineer so plan for something else.

Answer 4

The only way to be good in math is to do math. Over and over again. Thinking about it is good, to get the basic ideas down, but if you really want to be good, you absolutely must work math problems over and over.

Below are some links to math resources online to give you the basic idea about different areas of math. Use them to get the idea, but remember that if you don't use the information to actually do problems, you're not developing your mathematical abilities. When you go to get older and apply for a high paying job in an indoor environment where you can stay clean and dry and cool in the summer and hot in the winter, they won't care if you got all A's by getting answers online. They'll want you to know how to solve problems.

Study, study, study!

Answer 5

First, go to google and find urself math questions to solve. Then answer 50 math questions each day (yes, i'm serious, my parents did that to me and now I got a psp 4 being 2nd place in the state round competition 2 years ago) Then get ur parents to help you on the questions you can't answer. After that, always go to a math club thing after school whenever you can. Thats it! =D, though it may seem simple it is still alot.

Answer 6

There's a really successful worldwide tutoring program, which has its foundation on timed work and repetition, called Kumon (www.Kumon.com) and I used the Australian version from when i was about 6 years old to the age of 15. In that time I progressed from normal curriculum levels, through to work 2 years ahead of my maths class.

Cons:

Hard work - 20 mins a day, every day, except Christmas, i think.

Costly: It was costly, i'm not sure of the American fees, but nevertheless it was well worth it, my parents agree.



Naturally, there's no easy solution to your problem, its a "practice, practice, practice" dilemna and so if you want to get better, it will take a lot of work.
