Maths study skills

Some quick hints for studying Maths again…

You are not alone – Get to know other members of the class, it helps.

Work with other people in the class – If you get stuck, try talking through problems. Try explaining something you understand to somone who hasn’t quite got it yet.

Get the textbook – And use it

Get an A4 ringbinder – And keep it organised

Understanding = Familiarity You learn Maths by doing it – so do plenty

Little and often – Allocate a regular time each week to do maths homework. Same time, same place seems to work best for most people

Use support – Don’t let small problems turn into big ones. Use the time at the beginning of the class to ask questions. Ask about extra help

Keep a list of questions – Use a piece of paper at the front of your folder to jot down questions as you do your homework. Get answers to the questions. Ask them here if you want!

Record your progress – Tick things off on the summary scheme of work as we cover them
