Mathematics tends to be one of those subjects that can bring out the worst in any student. With no proper knowledge and understanding, many students can be understandably frustrated by math.

In fact, the vast majority of primary, secondary and tertiary students claim that math is their most difficult subject or course. Many of college students will be contented with a “C” grade in any mathematics related course.

Unfortunately, most of these same students are convinced that mathematics it is simply a subject that they will never understand, however that is not the case. With just a couple of minor changes to their study habits and their outlook, these students can excel in mathematics.

#1. Focus on the concept, and not just the equation
Many students find that they have an easier time in mathematics if they actually understand what they are doing and why they are doing it. To improve your math skills try not to spend a lot of time drilling equations and formulas, but rather look at each issue and contemplate what it is asking of you.

#2. Stay positive
It’s very easy to become negative and frustrated when you are uncertain about a problem, however those feelings is only going to add more stress to the situation. Rather, remind yourself that you can solve the problem if you stay focused.

#3. Keep it fun
After so many hours of staring at math problems, the brain can become somewhat fuzzy. Try to improve your math skills through various card games and any other fun activities.

The game “24,” with its many variations, is a popular game for reinforcing mathematics skills. You can find it, alongside other similar games, at Playstore, Amazon.com and other online stores.

Work the issues out in your mind or on paper. Keep away from the compulsion to utilize the number cruncher or PC for issues that you can settle without them.

#4. Work the problems out on paper or in your head
Avoid the temptation to use the computer or calculator for problems that you can solve without them. Frequent uses of calculator or computer will program your brain to only use calculator for the problem you can solve using your brain.

#5. Hire a tutor
If you have tried everything else, despite everything you don’t see improvement, you may need additional help. Search online or the local classifieds sources such as Craigslist for a tutor that will meet your budget and need.

#6. Don’t wait too long to ask for help
As soon as you feel yourself falling behind, seek help, whether it be from a teacher, friend or a relative. There are also a number of sites and Apps that offer specific help to improve your math skills.

I believe if you can make use of the aforementioned ways above you will not only improve your math skills but also be a math tutor. Thanks for reading and feel free to drop your comment on “how to improve your math skills” in case you have any.

Great tips! Thank you! Also, I've visit homepage of your website and you write great content! I'm going to use it in my next essays.

Thanks bro.

This is a commendable effort from the OP, Students have to see this especially non science students

Very Good Thread......

Maybe this is exactly what some people need at this moment!

Thumbs up OP!

MATHENONSENSE

Working mathematics without calculartor


That's the only way

Lmfai

Constant practice shouldn't be ignored

I think some student are not just good in maths Its a natural thing U can't no it all

I really tried my best but maths never got easy for me.

Ome ka ona agba sometimes na page 1, page 2 engine a knock o.



Check my signature, I have a laptop for sale.. Best deal ever

Mathematics... My first love back in the days.

You never try harder

Solving similar problems over and over again

First discard the notion that mathematics is a difficult subject that you can't know.

stano2:

Start from what you know to the unknown.

If your foundation is poor, forget it! Maths is progressive

With constant practice and determination, Mathematics is the best and one of the simplest subjects.

Solve more problems on your own.
Get good set of text books that correspond with your level of study
Solve enough End of Module Questions
Treat past Questions
Mark those you can't solve
Ask a tutor or anyone that can help you on that
As someone said above ,don't use calculator for simple mathematical operations.

Mathematik ist Spaß (Mathematics is fun), but some students are not just good at it. Maybe lack of interest from them and some teachers are not helping. I remembered one of my mathematics teachers the man is a disaster, the only thing he knows how to say is ; "you will fail". Thanks to Mr Anyanwu and Mr Kehinde Oladimeji (now a pastor) that boosted my morale.

Without the knowledge of English and mathematics, you can barely become something whether little in life.Even a Barrow pusher cannot survive without it in his job.Ask me how.

Maths....my best subject alongside economics. I love them both. .. It might surprise many to find out I was originally very poor and terrible at mathematics, it took constant practice, love for the subject and seriousness for me to start understanding the subject .... And latter became the best in my school in mathematics... From poorest in it to the very best.... Indeed no mountain is too high.

stano2:
but I can't come and kill myself na.
I had a friend in school, he was the best in maths then.
English (zero)
Agric(zero)
Handwriting (zero) but when it comes to maths he's father father, it was just like biscuits to him.
He taught me, still nothing entered.
So i sit with him during maths exam and he sits with me during computer, Chemistry and Geography. Trade by barter.



I have a brand new laptop for sale at give away price.

Lol. Bro are you sure I wasn't the one you talked about as that was exactly my case. It was such arrangements that I used to pass other subjects then.

Ich denke es ist alle über interessant. Even if I should forget some concept, once I pick my textbook, everything comes back to my brain. Well we can't have everything in this life.

Maths remains the simplest subject in the world
