Michel’s Answer

Math is all about practice. Typically text books have questions at the end of the chapter make sure you are going through as many of those as you can. If you miss one back track and figure out where you went wrong until you can solve that problem without issue. Rinse and repeat. Math is a practice kind of subject. Making sure you know the basics can be really helpful because you will build upon those foundations. Never be afraid to ask questions or for help and you will be good to go.

Andrew’s Answer

Mathematics is a language and it should be learned as a language, a foreign language. Hence, the best way to learn mathematics is to do mathematics.

At your grade level, you are learning the basic grammar and syntax of mathematics. Aside from aiming for competency, you should go for proficiency too. The more you practice, the more proficient you will be at basic mathematics.

This will pave the way to more advanced materials in higher grade level.

Faith’s Answer

Do not be ashamed to ask for help. Instead of struggling over and over again and guessing your confidence on the certain topic will get you nowhere. Asking the teacher one more time can do wonders. Practice, Practice, Practice is very important along with sleep. Do varies different examples and using different memory and study techniques will help you a lot. With sleep it is proven students who have proper sleep retain more knowledge and their brain can function better. My mistake when I took calculus was, I did not receive a Stample amount of sleep or was confident on the material. In math there are formulas to use on different questions etc. however to break down further you'll need to understand these 3 things: Why, When and How. These will allow you to understand the math instead of just doing and not being able to use the materials on slightly harder or complex questions.

Consider exploring a complimentary tutoring program at your nearby library. Also, check if your school offers after-school study sessions. If these aren't viable options, you might find it beneficial to discuss with a counselor or teacher about receiving additional math assistance during school hours.

Antoine’s Answer

Math is definitely a subject I struggled with at times. The best advice I can give is to practice, practice, practice. If there is a concept you don't fully understand, keep practicing until it gets easy for you. Do not be afraid to ask your teachers questions in order to better understand a concept.
Another piece of advice I can give is to put your math problems in the context of the real world. The concepts will seem more realistic in that sense. If you are learning about geometry for example, think of examples in the real world that will help you understand the math better.
