Understand It First, New Learning Math
Math is a lesson that always exists in every curriculum, from elementary to high school level, even to college. Not only in science and technology departments, even in social studies and mathematics is used to solve various quantitative problems.
On the other hand, many people find it difficult to learn math. Mindset that the math is a scourge has spread everywhere. Mathematics must be recognized is a relatively difficult lesson, but if we understand the principles, then we will be able to learn math well.
Because mathematics is a unique lesson, it takes a unique skill as well to conquer it. This time, we discuss what we should understand to learn math:
1. Need strong active learning
In learning math, you really need to be active. Mathematics is not just a lesson to calculate something. Mathematics is a lesson that trains our logic for problem solving. In contrast to other lessons, a chapter of math lessons can encompass the various problems we have to solve. The trick is to familiarize our brains to solve those problems. This is tantamount to solving life problems. We must actively practice our ability to solve problems, so that if we encounter any problems, we can solve them well.
2. Mathematics is cumulative!
Mathematics is cumulative. Starting from basic operations + and - increasing to x and:. Learning math will be difficult if you jump, from one material to another. Almost all branches of mathematics are related and mutually influential. In learning mathematics, what you learn today becomes an important part of what you will learn tomorrow. If you miss something, you will be hard to catch up on the next material, and if not immediately pursued, will continue to miss. This is why many people easily fail to learn math.
3. Focus on understanding concepts, not memorizing
In some lessons, we will pass and get good grades by relying on rote. We can memorize names, dates, body parts, etc. But mathematics can not be solved well by relying on rote. Memorizing all the formulas is a bad idea. Understanding the concept is an absolute thing for us in learning mathematics. If we do not understand the concept, by holding all the books that exist in the world, or carrying the formula notes, we still will not be able to solve math problems well.
4. Create a list of vocabulary & mathematical formulas
For many people, especially mathematicians, mathematics is a language of its own. Mathematics has so many terms, followed by so many formulas. To facilitate learning math, one of the tricks that can be used is to create a list of vocabulary and formulas that exist in mathematics, and often read to understand and remember the meaning and what use.
5. Make a good record & clear
If the difficulty of learning mathematics, making notes with only certain points obviously just a waste of time. Make a comprehensive note, note important things that are sometimes not written by teachers on the board. Notice the teacher's emphasis, grab the core concepts and formulas, make yourself understood by rewriting it with your own language. But be careful, lest you be too busy to note until the teacher missed the explanation.
6. Do Exercise & homework well
job assignments or homework assignments will most certainly be given in learning math. These tasks are given to encourage us to develop skills and familiarize ourselves with the concepts and solving of mathematical problems. If you want to master mathematics, stop complaining about the many problems, and start doing. Do not cheat easily! The tip is to do this task while the lesson is fresh in memory, for example directly after class or on the same day. Do it in detail, show every troubleshooting step you take.
Smart Buddies, to learn math is to experience it. Understand the concept, solve the problem, use all the methods and formulas that you know. The key is: Exercise, practice, practice!
