Dealing with complex concepts of mathematics with ease

Mathematics being the logical subject has been tough to deal with, for students of all ages.

Junior school students although tend to be better in mathematics than the high school, as high school mathematics involves alphabets and equations.

Students often find themselves stuck on a single equation for a relatively long time, which not only affects their schedule but also affects their performance in other subjects as students can not find to take out time for other subjects.

In this article, we will explore different ways, following which students can prepare themselves to deal with complex equations and concepts of mathematics with ease, in order to improve their mathematics grades as well as improve their performance for other subjects.

1. Confidence and self-belief

When students are working with mathematical equations, they more than often doubt their self-worth.

If a student fails to solve a mathematical problem being discussed in the class, then the student may lose confidence and start to question his or her abilities.

Due to which the students may try to escape or avoid any situation that involves mathematics being discussed for example problem solving among peer groups or friends.

A student may even start to avoid attending mathematical lectures quite often.

Students need to remind themselves that not knowing one answer does not define their self-worth.

For a student is confident and have enough self-belief is very important.

Students must always be confident even if they are failing to find correct solutions.

We are not defined by how many times we have failed but by how many times do we have the courage to try, students must always keep reminding themselves this.

2. Attentiveness and focus

Mathematics classrooms are either boring or fun, there’s absolutely no in-between.

For students who love mathematics, it’s fun and for students who lack self-confidence and self-belief, it is boring and maybe even traumatizing.

Most of the time, it is been noticed that in mathematics lectures almost 70% of the class is un-attentive and engaged in talking or mischief.

If a student wants to improve their grades or is struggling with clarity of the concepts, the best way is to,  be attentive in the class.

If students focus on the lectures that are being conducted in schools, students can easily understand the concepts and improve their grades.

Many students find it hard to focus because of other students disturbing them, in such scenario’s students can change their seats in mathematics lecture to focus on the topics being taught to them.

Students at times do not understand the concept being taught in class even after being attentive and focused, for this, students need to interfere with the teacher and ask them their doubts, they should not feel anxious and must not overthink.

Students must always be attentive and ask questions in class no matter how silly that doubt may look to them.

3. Practicing

Mathematics can only be understood by adopting the habit of regular practice.

Students must always revise, whatever the topic that is being taught to them in class.

By practicing, students can strengthen their skills and gain confidence in the class and during the examination or tests.

Regular practice may also benefit students during surprise tests and assignments.

Students should take at least one hour out of their time to spend on practicing the already known concepts and problems, many a times students feel like they have understood the concepts and do not require to practice, and so it is the case, but lack of practice might interfere with their skills and they might get confused between similar concepts in future.

4. Assignments

Another best way to sharpen the mathematical skills and improve their grades is by working on the assignments given to students.

Assignments not only help the students revise the concepts but also provide them the knowledge of whether they understood the problem or not, and in case there are certain problems and equations that the students do not understand while doing their assignments they can consult their teacher and clear the concepts.

Also, assignments provide an easy way to earn marks and improve the overall result.

5. Online help

Some students might be dealing with anxiety issues due to which they may fail to question and put doubts in front of the teachers, even if they are bright students.

For such students who have problems speaking in class, they can get help from online resources.

The Internet has multiple resources that students can use to their advantage.

Students can find videos and in-depth explanations of the concepts on various websites.

Students can even find mathematical derivations that they might be struggling to understand.

Students can also find certain websites that provide online tutors. Students can also find online assignment help, where students require to pay a certain fee to get their assignments done.

Students can easily find any book, journals, or articles online on any topic they wish to learn or understand.
