Mathematics is a logical and the most difficult subject.
It's also one of those subjects that stays with a student their whole academic life.
Even if a student decides to pursue something in social sciences and humanities, that chances there will be a stats or math subject somewhere.
It is rightly said that the origin of everything is math, and hence math stays with us, either like a true friend or like our worst enemy.
It depends on how you perceive mathematics to be.
In this article we will share some expert’s advice and tips that can help students to improve their marks and grades in mathematics.
In-class attention
Mathematics like we discussed is a logical subject, so if a student can understand the concept of the math, they can easily score high marks.
The tricky part is how to understand that concept.
The easiest way is to understand the concept in class, when it is being taught.
Many times students are afraid of their math teacher due to which they do not consult their doubts and problems to them.
And more than often students feel that they have a simple or silly doubt and by asking they might annoy the teacher.
What students need to understand is math is made up of simple silly objects. And that it’s absolutely fine to question even the silliest doubt and problems.
In-class attention is very important when it comes to subjects like mathematics.
Students also need to make sure they do not miss or bunk any math lectures, as even skipping one lecture can later on become a huge hurdle for the students.
In math many concepts are interlinked and interdependent.
Basics
In mathematics, basics play a very important role.
When students’ basics are not clear it creates problems for them later on.
When practicing mathematics, it is very important that students first clear their concepts and do not ignore the steps.
What happens, is when doing problems and equations students may face minor problems at some steps, and for time being they just copy the step from books or from their friends, assuming that they will cover it later on, but it never happens due to which when they are faced with the same problems at exams or doing assignments, they get stuck, which eventually effects their marks or grades.
Online help
Math can be tricky but it is also fun.
Math is one subject that students find very serious, because that’s what the environment of the class during math lectures.
The irony is math is in fact fun, if students understand the concepts and problems.
Students can find various sources online that may help them improve their grades and marks.
There are many video streaming websites available that teach math is a different manner than traditional math teachers.
Over the decades with the evolution of internet and mobile applications, many educational applications are also available to students that teach various subjects in a practical manner that could be understood by the students.
The apps available on mobile can be both free and paid.
Practicing and more practicing
The most cliché and basic thing that every teacher, mentor or a friend suggests to any student who is struggling to get more marks is practice.
And students might find it annoying and may wonder that it doesn’t work.
But the truth is many students only practice once and twice and think that should work, when it comes to mathematics, students need to practice regularly if not on a daily basis.
The more the student practices the more he understands as well as will remember the equations and method.
Mathematics could be complex to students, because many times for one problem there are multiple methods, especially when students take up tuitions, they may notice that the method that the school teachers use is different that the method their tuition mentor uses.
It is very important that students must always use the methods used in their academic classroom, and in case their tuition teacher uses another method the student must tell him to teach with the method used by the school teacher.
