Studying for Math is Different
• Math builds on knowledge of previous concepts and skills.
• Math is learned by doing problems.
• Requires practice even when the fundamental concepts are understood.
Preparing for Class
• GO TO EVERY CLASS!• Have a positive attitude.• Review last class notes and homework. • Preview the text section that will be covered that
day.• Find potential questions to ask.
Strategies to Study Math
• ASAP summarize, review, and edit your notes.• Read your textbook.• Memorize formulas.• Do ALL your homework.• Study everyday.• Get to know your teacher.
More Strategies to Study Math
• Transcribe notes only on the front of each page. Use the back side to enter examples, reminders, theorems, etc.
• Always write the problem number, page, and the full problem itself.
• Consider using a 3-ring binder.• Use other books as reference.
Some Memory Techniques
• Word Association
• Mnemonics
• Acronyms
Use WHISK for Word Problems
• W = What?– What the problem is asking you to find.
• H = How?– How you will solve the problem.
• I = Illustrate– Draw a picture, make a diagram, table, or graph.
• S = Solve– Perform the mathematical calculations needed.
• K = Keys
Tips on Taking a Math Test
• Look over the entire test to get a sense of how long it is.• Read the instructions of each section of the test.• Start with the problems you know you can do.• Time is of essence - work as quickly as you can (while still
maintaining legibility).• Show as many steps as possible.

Tips on Taking a Math Test
• Don’t erase! - just put an X through the work you don’t want graded.
• Box, circle or underline your answer.• Don’t give up on multiple-part questions, even if you can’t
get the first part.• Before turning in your test, make sure that you have
answered all parts to a question.• If you have time, check all your work.
Getting Help
• When? - EARLY! FROM DAY-ONE!• Use all resources available to you:– ask questions in class– visit the instructor’s Office Hours– ask friends– go to the Math Lab, Math Help Room, and/or other
tutoring sessions on campus.
• Ask specific questions.
The “SECRET” of Math Success
• PRACTICE!PRACTICE!
• PRACTICE!PRACTICE!
• PRACTICE!PRACTICE!
Examples of Questions
• Okay Question:– How do you do #17?
• Better Question:– Can you show me how to set up #17?
• Even Better Question:–This is how I tried to do #17. Can you show me
what I’m doing wrong?
QUOTE
“The Universe is a grand book which cannot be read until one first learns to comprehend the language and become familiar with the characters in which it is composed. It is written in the language of Mathematics.”
--Galileo
Getting Help from Tutors
• Your tutor is a resource to support and guide.
• Go with questions in mind.
• You steer the direction of the tutoring session.
Always attend class:
• Math is a language. It has its own rules and symbols.
• Math is a sequential subject. That means what you learned yesterday will help you learn today.
• New math concepts require old math skills!Ex. Can you work out fraction problems
without multiplication?
Keep up with homework:
• Homework helps you practice and learn new/old math concepts.
• Homework is a great time to find questions to ask the teacher, so you can understand.
• Homework prepares you for tests, quizzes etc.
• Homework will give you confidence and skills you need.
Try to understand math problems:
• While working on math problems ask yourself what the question is asking.
Ex. What am I suppose to be looking for?• Doing everything step-by-step will greatly
help you find a solution.• Math problems are sometimes
overwhelming and confusing, so use the step-by-step strategy.
Use index cards to study tests:
• Before making the cards, first you must make sure you understand the problems on each math concept as well as work them out.
• Write the problems on index cards.• Shuffle cards and set a timer.• Work on the problems as they are dealt to you.• NO TEXTBOOK!
Ask questions in class:
• Don’t be shy or hesitate to ask questions!• The teacher/students WILL NOT make fun
of you.• At least one other person may have the
same question.
Ask questions outside of class:
• If you really don’t want to ask a question save it for the end of class.
• If you think of a question too late write it down and save it for the end of class.
• Then see the teacher.
Check homework assignments:
• After correcting homework assignments, review your work to see what you got right and wrong.
• Make sure you understand what you got wrong.
• Use homework assignments to help study.
Pay attention in class:
When you stay alert in class you will find it much easier because you know what’s going on, you know the steps to solve problem and learn more!
Don’t talk in class:
• If you have a question ask teacher or ask a classmate during scheduled practice time.
• Don’t talk during a lecture or presentation. • Listen.• Stay focused.
Is my answer reasonable:
• Check to ensure your answer is reasonable.
Use textbook and study guide:
• These books contain pages with great examples.• They also contain explanations and definitions.
Finally, remember that if you can dream it, you can achieve it. Your beliefs about yourself help shape your future. You must create a culture of success within yourself, a belief that with hard work you will have a successful year in math.
