64. Why Are Math Study Skills Important Another way to improve study skills is to review how new material Give yourself enoughtime to study. If math takes more of your time than other homework, then http://www.geosoc.org/schools/pass/math1.htm

Developing Math Skills Why Are Math Study Skills Important? Mathematical principles and concepts have become a part of almost every area of work. Knowing these principles will help you succeed in both school and work. Math study skills can help you learn the mathematical concepts, skills, and principles so important to other parts of your life. Additionally, math study skills are tools that can serve you well in college, work, and other learning situations. What Can I Do to Develop and Improve My Math Study Skills? Do Assigned Homework Teachers assign homework as a way to help you learn and practice topics from class. Doing homework when it is assigned helps you keep up with class topics. Putting homework off often causes problems to pile up. In no time, the problems can seem overwhelming. Doing homework regularly helps you learn class topics as they are taught. Also, do your math homework when you are awake and alert. If math is difficult for you, then do it first, before you get tired. Talk With Your Teacher Your teachers can be an excellent resource. In addition to knowing the subject matter thoroughly, your teachers were also successful students. This combination of skills makes them especially well-suited to helping you improve your math study skills. Ask your teachers how they studied when they were in your grade. Their years of teaching may enable them to suggest good ways to study particular topics.

CONTACT US Translate problems into English Putting problems into words aids your understanding. When you study equations and formulae, put those into words as well. The words help you see a variety of applications for each formula. For example, the Pythagorean Theorem, C = A + B can be translated as "The square of the hypotenuse of a right triangle is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides." Perform opposite operations If a problem involves multiplication, check your work by dividing; if addition then subtract and check your work, if divide then check with multiply; if square root then check with square; if differentiate then integrate. Use time drills Practice working problems fast. Time yourself. Exchange problems with a friend and time each other. Do this in the Study Group. Analyze before you compute Set up the problem before you begin to solve it. When a problem is worth a lot of points, read it twice, slowly. Analyze it carefully. When you take time to analyze a problem you can often see ways to take computational short-cuts.

Textbook ``Study Reading'' Reading a science textbook requires a different method than the usual sequential page-by-page method you use for a novel or other book! Your mind will need to have some sort of framework or place holders to store the information presented in a chapter. So you need to create that framework first before you get to the meat of the material. Read the ``headlines'' first-the chapter title and the section titles. Scan the notes in the outermost column and look up the definitions of the vocabulary terms in boldface type in the glossary. Then read the Review Questions at the end of each section. Note that all of this is done before you even read the chapter material! Only after you have built the framework will your mind be ready for the substance of the textbook. After you have read a section, then answer the Review Questions at the end. If you cannot answer a question, then read through the section again to get the answer. Clear up any confusion right then and there. As you are reading the material, mentally process the information. This means that you need to actively do something with the information-anything that takes the material off the page and moves it through your brain: saying it out loud in your own words, summarizing it, fitting it into an outline, or explaining it someone else.

(the above links were established with Professor Freedman's gracious permission.) Deanna's*Advice: 1. Frequent short study periods produce better results than "cramming". 2. Review previous sections a little each day. Try making an index card file of rules, procedures, formulas, strategies, steps, etc. Make reviewing fun by "shuffling the deck" of index cards and "dealing them out" to see whether or not you can recall the information. 3. Neatly write out every step of the problem. If our work is a mess, so is the visual input that is provided to the brain. 4. After practicing a problem, have someone check the process. If your process is wrong, the more you practice the incorrect steps the harder it will be learn the correct method. 5. Practice as much as possible. Just watching the teacher do the problem, does not develop your ability to do the process. Learning cannot be thought of as a "spectator sport".
