Study Tips for Math

Saturday October 21, 2006

Math is the one subject that seems to cause the most stress among students. Perhaps students are intimidated because math has definite answers, as opposed to the answers in a literature or a history class, where several students can read the same material and come up with very different understandings and messages.

Math can actually be a fun topic if you learn to study in the right way and the way that fits your learning style. Many students will find that math is like a good mystery book. You just have to understand the underlying problems and put all the steps together to come up with the right conclusion.

I never liked math before but this year I have a 100% average becasue my teacher is so nice and he only cares that we try our hardest. He comes to our games and is very supportive. I think it is not only studying that can improve your grade, but the teacher makes a huge difference.

Jill,
You are so right! Thank you for your comment. Self-confidence is another factor, and that comes from a good teacher. See Monday’s blog!
