Math is the devil in the form of subject for many students.
Learning is always complicated, but following the tips we will see below, we can make studying mathematics a little easier.
-
Concentration in class
When the teacher explains mathematics. Our concentration must be to the maximum, since they are the most complicated subjects to assimilate. Paying attention is looking forward and listening quietly to the teacher’s words, it is understanding what is trying to explain to us.
-
Practice
To improve, the best way is to do many exercises. And when we say many, we do not say three or four. Maybe we have to do twenty, thirty or even more. Spending hours sitting doing exercises is the only way to assimilate the issues.
-
Profound concentration when studying mathematics
Studying mathematics is not the same as studying history. The texts can be read as we read a novel or the diary. But the mathematical nomenclature is read at another speed, slower of course. Remember the goal, is not “cover” the entire text, but understand it. And if it takes more time, it will have to be accepted.
-
Study the theory
Here is where many students fail. They read the theory and try to assimilate it by going through exercises. But many times, when they explain axioms or theorems, it is necessary to study them and memorize them. Try to do that the next time you study math and you will be surprised at the agility that the exercises will solve.
-
Bring the material up to date
It is very likely that if we lose the rhythm of the class, we can no longer understand anything. Therefore, to avoid this big problem, it is preferable to spend a little time every day on the subject. And yes, let’s face it, many times that “time” is a few hours.
-
Start resolving the easiest
It is always convenient to solve those simpler problems, however foolish they may seem. In the books there are always examples explained in detail, they can be used to start the series of exercises.
-
Carry out an organized way to solve the exercise guidelines
Always seek to do organized work rather than just sketches on the work books.
-
Consult in class
Mathematics books are usually very cold and rigid. In many occasions you will find that the nomenclature of the manual does not match the one you were taught in class. So, there is no need to wait, it is preferable to consult the doubts with the teachers, who will be easier to explain the subject and can answer a question directly, something that a book can never do.
-
Study in a group
It will not be as participatory to meeting as when you study a social science subject where everyone should have an opinion, but it can also be useful. A partner can come to explain as well, or even better than a teacher. But of course, we must maintain a certain order and silence during the meeting, so that the concentration is maintained to the maximum.
-
Review the bases
Some students bring to a poor level of mathematics at the primary or secondary level. That makes it impossible to learn more difficult concepts. If that is your case, do not be ashamed to look for a manual of initial levels and study the topics again.
