Tips- How to be successful in Math!

HOW TO BE SUCCESSFUL IN MATH

Studying math is different than how you study for the other subjects.

To study math, you have to PRACTICE math problems! The more problems you practice, the better you’ll get. Look in your math binder for practice problems (notes and classwork) or go online and find practice problems. 

To be successful in  math:
1. You have to practice every day.
2. Take notes.
3. Study more than just the night before.
4. Ask questions in class.
5. Do all of the homework. Don’t ever think of homework as a choice.
6. Analyze and understand every mistake.
7. Fight not to miss class.
8.Spend about 30 minutes a day reworking problems from previous practice problems, notes, problems done in class, or homework problems. 
If you aren’t willing to be actively involved in the process of learning mathematics, you will have trouble passing any math class.
“By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail” — Benjamin Franklin

Textbook and Tutoring Information

I have also posted the online textbook in case you would like any additional resources or practice as well as our tutoring schedule for the week. Click on the link below to be redirected to the online textbook.

Welcome Students!

Hi Students, welcome to my blog!

I am so excited to be teaching you all this year and I am certain that we will reach new heights of academic achievements. Together, we will have lots of fun learning math! I will be updating this blog regularly with assignments and class information. Please check back often. You can click on the links above to read specific information for your grade.

Parents, currently all of my students have received their user-name and password to an online program called IXL / Khanacademy.org which can be accessed at home!  I highly suggest that you ask your students to show you this program to see how it can help them practice their math skills.

This class does not give homework!  If a student does take work home it is their choice and their responsibility to make sure it is turned in the next day.

Tutoring may be scheduled by appointment as needed; just ask Dr. Sharma

If you have any questions, I am easy to reach.  Send an email to vineeta.sharma@cobbk12.org
