Study Skills for Mathematics

Time and place for studying math

    I study math every day.

    I try to get my math homework done immediately after class.

    I have a specific time to study math.

    I have a specific place with few distractions to study math.

    I am careful to keep up-to-date with my homework.

Study strategies for math class

    I read my textbook before I come to class.

    If I have trouble understanding the text, I find an alternate text.

    I take notes in math class.

    I am careful to copy all the steps of math problems in my notes.

    I ask questions when I am confused.

    I go to the instructor or tutor center when I am confused.

    I try to determine exactly when I got confused and exactly what confused me.

    I review my notes and text before beginning homework.

    I work problems until I understand them, not just until I get the answer in the book.

    I use flashcards for formulas and vocabulary.

    I develop memory techniques to remember math concepts.

Math tests

    I preview the test before I begin.

    Before I begin the test, I make notes on things such as formulas that I might need.

    I begin with the easy questions first.

    I take the full amount of time allotted for the test.

    I carefully check or rework as many problems as I have time to.

    When tests are returned, I keep a log of the types of mistakes that I made:~ concept errors, application error, or careless errors, for example.

    I keep up-to-date so I don't have to "cram" the night before a test.

Anxiety

    I believe that I can succeed in math class.

    I have study partners in my math class.

    I take practice tests.

    I know several good relaxation techniques.
