Cheat Sheet: How to Learn Math Easily

Math is the most dreaded subject of so many children, what with the numbers, formulas and solutions that they have to put to mind. The truth is, the subject is rather simple to learn (and hopefully, master)  since it is linear and straightforward; what is correct will always be correct. Here are some valuable tips worth a try:

Quality Notes

When taking notes, go for quality; a notebook riddled with incoherent numbers might end up overwhelming you and thus discourage you from reviewing at home. Rather you should jot down only one or two examples and link them to their solution (illustrate each step so you won't miss anything).

Learning Style

People learn differently when using varied channels. In other words, copying how your classmates study will not make you learn any better. Instead, develop or discover your own study style (you may be an auditory learner more than visual) and build on it.

Eat

No, skipping breakfast to review for a big test won't help you. Keep yourself well-nourished so that your brain can function properly when studying or reviewing your math lessons. Moreover, an empty stomach is also a fervent annoyance.

Review

Don't cram in new information without linking it to your past lessons first. Review the lesson, take a few examples, see how it relates to your previous topics and when you have a connection, you can start building a new link to your math knowledge base.
