How to improve in Math...

Dear all,

Came across this online thought it would be nice to share. =)

Math Study Skills

Active Study vs. Passive Study
Be actively involved in managing the learning process, the mathematics and your study time: Take responsibility for studying, recognizing what you do and don't know, and knowing how to get your Instructor to help you with what you don't know.
Attend class every day and take complete notes. Teachers formulate test questions based on material and examples covered in class as well as on those in the text.
Be an active participant in the classroom. Get ahead in the book; try to work some of the problems before they are covered in class. Anticipate what the teacher's next step will be.
Ask questions in class! There are usually other students wanting to know the answers to the same questions you have.
Good study habits throughout the semester make it easier to study for tests.

Studying Math is Different from Studying Other Subjects
Math is learned by doing problems. Do the homework. The problems help you learn the formulas and techniques you do need to know, as well as improve your problem-solving prowess.
A word of warning: Each class builds on the previous ones, all semester long. You must keep up with the teacher: attend class, read the text and do homework every day. Falling a day behind puts you at a disadvantage. Falling a week behind puts you in deep trouble.
A word of encouragement: Each class builds on the previous ones, all semester long. You're always reviewing previous material as you do new material. Many of the ideas hang together. Identifying and learning the key concepts means you don't have to memorize as much
