  6. HOW TO STUDY MATHEMATICS EFFECTIVELY??

  7. Learning mathematics = learning another language so at first it will be hard but it will get progressively easier.

  8. Categories of Students who are doing poorly in a math. 

  9. Math Anxiety

  10. Math anxiety • I don't do math fast enough. • I don't have a math mind. • I got the right answer but I did it the wrong way. • If I get it right, it must be too simple. • Math is unrelated to my life.

  11. College Math is Different from High School Math • A College math class meets less often and covers material at about twice the pace than that of a High School course. • You are expected to absorb new material much more quickly. • Tests are probably spaced farther apart and so, cover more material than before.

  12. College Math is Different from High School Math • The instructor may not even check your homework. • You probably need to spend more time studying per week. • Tests may seem harder just because they cover more material.

  13. Studying Math is Different from Studying Other Subjects • Math is learned by doingproblems. • More problems you solve, understand the concept better.

  14. STEPS TO LEARN MATH

  15. STEPS TO LEARN MATH

  16. THINGS YOU NEED FRESH MIND, POSITIVE ATTITUDE TOWARDS THE SUBJECT REFERENCE BOOKS – LOTS OF THEM

  17. TIPS TO LEARN MATH Frustration is part of the process - don't give up Tackle all the basic stuff all at once Regular practice will ease your challenges. Study as hard as you can and practise each and everyday Mathematics is not a passive activity

  18. TIPS TO LEARN MATH Don't just think harder, think smarter. Solve the easier problems first, so you can mentally warm up your brain for the more complicated ones

  19. WARNING!!! the study of mathematics is not easy; persistence and focus can help you excel in your efforts don't stress yourself with a weird feeling that you are doing something extremely hard but always think fresh that you are doing something which is fun

  20. WARNING!!! don't think that you can never be good at math .you must believe 'nothing is impossible' ,well not just believe but work for it Being frustrated is not a problem, it is a natural part of the learning process, so don't give up. You can do it!

  21. Studying Math is Different….. 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 mean you don’t have to memorize as much.

  22. MATHEMATICS IS NOT A SPECTATOR SPORT-just watching the instructor teaching

  23. EVERYDAY STUDY IS A BIGPART OF TEST PREPARATION Good study habits throughout the semester make it easier to study for tests • Do the homework when it is assigned. You cannot hope to cram 3 or 4 weeks worth of learning into a couple of days of study. • On tests you have to solve problems; homework problems are the only way to get practice. As you do homework, make lists of formulas and techniques to use later when you study for tests. • Ask your Instructor questions as they arise; don’t wait until the day before a test. The questions you ask right before a test should be to clarify minor details.

  24. DOS • Go To Class. • Get to Class On Time. • LISTEN During Class. • Take Good Notes.

  25. Ask Questions. Listen When Others Ask Questions. Review Notes After Class.

  26. Do Homework After Each Class. Do Homework Without Notes and Book. Do More Homework Practice, Practice, Practice.

  27. Keep Old Homework and Exams Don’t Forget Your Textbook Seek Help If You Need It. Have the Proper Attitude

  28. Falling a day behind puts you at a disadvantage. • Falling a weekbehind puts you in deep trouble.

  29. Students who fear math often: • avoid asking questions to save embarrassment, • sit at the back of the classroom, • fail to seek help from the lecturer, • put off studying math until the last moment.

  30. Positive behaviors to help students learn and perform better in math classes: • sit in front rows of the class where you will experience fewer distractions and feel more a part of what is being discussed. • if you have questions, ask! Rest assured that you are not the only one who has the same question you want to ask. Don't be afraid to seek help from your lecturer after class or during office hours.

  31. prepare! Read the textbook material before it is discussed in class. Do the problems • After class, review the material covered as quickly as possible and complete homework as quickly as possible after class.

  32. PROBLEM SOLVING

  33. PROBLEM SOLVING… • Read the Problem. • Read the Problem Again. • Clearly Note What You Are Asked to Find. • Clearly Note What You Know. • Draw a Diagram

  34. PROBLEM SOLVING… • Devise a Plan. • Work a Similar Problem. • Work the Plan. • Check Your Solution. • Go Back Over the Problem

  35. D. TIPS FOR EXAMINATIONS

  36. TIPS FOR EXAMINATION… Start on Day One Get a Good Nights Sleep Make a List of Important Concepts/Formulas

  37. TIPS FOR EXAMINATION… RELAX!!! Be Smart Be Time Efficient If You’re Stuck Move On. Show All Your Work

  38. TIPS FOR EXAMINATION… Never Leave a Problem Blank Read the Problem Does Your Answer Make Sense?

  39. AFTER EFFORT COMES PRAYERS
