Reading a math textbook isn’t the same as reading for pleasure. Instead of just reading straight through, you’ll have to think about what the goals and purpose of each section are. You should also take notes in class and when reading, for important information. This helps you process the information and study later.  Check and see if the chapter in your textbook has learning goals stated at the beginning, or a summary at the end. If you own a textbook or are willing to pay for the book issued to you, then you can highlight, underline, or make notes on any important formulas, theorems, etc. The teacher can indicate what will be covered next. Reading ahead can deepen your understanding and make it easier to keep up in class. Sometimes, teachers will let you use copies of important formula, theorems, or other key information while doing your work. Others will expect you to memorize them. Either way, studying them helps you feel more confident. Look for fun ways to help this information stick. For instance, the quadratic formula can be sung to the tune of “Frere Jacques”/”Are you Sleeping?,” making it easier to remember. Try singing the quadratic formula, such as:Negative b, negative b,Plus or minus square root, plus or minus square root,b squared minus four a c, b squared minus four a c,All over two-a, all over two-a Read them aloud, slowly at first and then faster, and stating them clearly in your mind. You use your auditory experience, memory of sounds, plus visual memory of words and graphic (photographic, pictorial) memory, and writing uses your kinesthetic brain power, muscle memory. All of this helps get the subject more engrained and organized in your mind. Rushing to get through your homework won’t help you study well. Take your time and work carefully, especially if you’re trying out a new type of problem. If you are in a college course, for instance, you will want to dedicate yourself to spend about two hours, for every hour spent in class, on math homework including study of concepts, terminology, theorems, proofs, etc. Read over and think about applications, formulas, terms,... You will have already studied in frequent, short chunks over time. These can be great for learning math, since you can take turns quizzing each other and checking each other’s work. Studying with others also means that you can help each other out if anyone’s having trouble understanding a concept or how to do a problem. Just make sure that you find a group with people who are serious about doing the work.
