Study harder. If that's not the problem then talk to your teacher & try to figure out what to do. They will know best what you need to do to pull up your grade. Oh and tell your parents if you are still in grade school so they don't find out later & get really mad, unless you know you can pull it up or they won't find out. But if you do tell them then approach them with the "I'm really trying & I don't know what else to do" attitude so you'll be less likely to get in trouble!

Your just a regular 6th grader. I was kinda like that. Your fine. Just do your home work more often. Iknow a lot of people who don't do the work and it really hurts their grade.

It is a hard subject for some people. The thing that seems so unfair when you are a young student like you and have to take math, and don't "get" it, is that for other kids, it just comes so easily.\n\nHere's an idea for right now: take a mental step back away from math for a moment and think about a subject that you are better at or that you maybe even like, or that just comes a little easier to you.  I know there must be one because you sound like an articulate person with the ability to know your feelings and you really do express yourself vividly.  I wouldn't be surprised to hear that you are pretty good at English or Literature, Drama or Art.  Well, if that is true, be glad for it, because believe it or not, there are some people out there who can't string two words together in a row to save their lives, and/or who hate to read and write. They hate that stuff as much as you hate math, but it is worse for them because YOU can learn to do math, but it is very nearly impossible to learn to be and think creatively and artistically.\n\nThere, end of pep talk. Now for some practical advice:  you need to get some tutoring FAST.  At every school, public and private, there are several ways to get the help you need to pass math so you don't have to repeat that class. Most teachers have scheduled times every week when they are available to tutor so look into that immediately. Also--go to your guidance counselor and find the name or names of honors students who volunteer to tutor.  Call those kids and make use of their superior math skills, it is good for you and good for them.  Finally, every school has a list of people who will tutor for an hourly fee. Usually, a few times with these (often former teachers) is enough.\n\nYou really need to do this. Being frustrated just shuts the brain down, plus makes your fear of math worse. It is a vicious circle. You know very well that math is a necessity in this life, you just needed to vent.  Ok, you vented, so now knuckle down, get through these classes, pass and say good-bye to the subject forever.\n\nAnd watch "Numb3rs" on Fridays, where math seems geekily sexy and fun.

Oh my goodness, you are too young to be worrying that much about grades!  Eeeek!  They push kids harder and harder as the years go by...\n\n3.7 is a great GPA!  It seems to me like math is your forte.  It is VERY common for people to do better in the classes they are more interested in.  We have a limited attention span, and we have to delegate what we really listen to, and what we don't.  Personally, I am not good at math.  So because I do not have a passion for it, I am more attentive in English.  And often, it is not even on purpose, but it's in our human nature to ignore what we don't care to hear.  But unfortunately, as you will learn in life, you have to force yourself to! \n\nMy advice for you...you seem to be doing well in math.  So, as that's not your 'problem' area, I would focus more on literature.  Ask yourself what it is about Literature that you are not understanding.  Do you have a problem finding the meaning of what you are reading?  Do you have problems reading a large amount of text?  Try and figure out what it is that is making the class difficult for you.  Let a parent or guardian know, and they can definitely help you!  Another person to ask would be your teacher.  They are there to help you learn, and if you are honest with them and say "I need help," they will be more than willing!  Especially since it affects their salary! (or at least it will soon).  Another idea is to find a friend in the class to study with.  You may be too young, yet, to have study groups.  But I have been studying with friends since late elementary school, and it helps a lot to hear the information from someone other than a teacher!\n\nOne technique I have used before is while you are reading a short story or article, write down the main characters, their roles in the story, the plot, important events, etc...  When you are done reading, review the notes you took and it will help solidify the information and make it stick better!  College professors actually advise students to review the information they learned in class immediately following lecture because you keep it in your short-term memory longer, which will make it easier to translate to long-term memory!  \n\nAlso...an honors math class...a 3.7 GPA...you are NO dumbie! :)  And even if you get a bad grade on something, it does not mean you are dumb!  I consider myself an intelligent person, and I have failed tests/exams before.  Sometimes, you just have bad luck or you get a brain fart during an exam!  It happens to the best of us!! So don't worry, and if all else fails, ask for help! :)

[Grade school math]\n------------------------------\nPut a number in the circle:\n\n5 + O = 9\n============================================================\n[Basic Algebra]\n-----------------------\nSolve for x:\n\n5 + x = 9\n============================================================\n\nWhat's the difference (besides phrasing)?\n\nToo many people tell themselves they "hate" math because that's how they think they're supposed to feel about it. A common self-defeating cliche is "Algebra? I can't even balance my own checkbook!" You've probably unwittingly done the same thing to yourself to "fit in" with your peers, and now you're subconsciously trying to validate that idea. \n\nOften, students find themselves intimidated by the subjects' words (Algebra, Trigonometry, Calculus - OOOOOH!!!!!) before even attempting to do the work, and you've probably also unwittingly done *that* to yourself. But, as you can see, you've already done basic Algebra years ago, and now, being in a class actually called "Algebra," you're just building on what you've already done as a young child. \n\nDon't try to prove to your friends that you can mimic everything they might be saying about the class/subject. You don't become uncool by learning things - give the class a shot and try to learn *something* from it. You won't become a nerd if you learn how to factor a trinomial expression. \n\nA mnemonic (memory device):\n\n"When you square a binomial, you get a trinomial."\n\n\n\nGood luck, and I want to see your next report card! \n\n; )

You gotta be kidding.  If you're in the class you should be able to easily do those, especially a and b!

Here are a couple.  The best thing to do is make them your own.  Change the rubrics so that they make sense for the goals that you have for your students.  \n\n\nGood Luck!

you might have learning differents. You could be tested to see if you are then you could find help.  You could get a tutor or ask a teacher for help with math.

All of us find some things difficult.  One thing you could do is see if you can find a tutor, possibly even another student.  A good tutor can help you find ways to do better - there may be all kinds of little strategies a tutor who gets to know you can help you with.  Your teacher probably has to teach at that speed in order to cover the material he has to cover.   Even if you don't like your teacher you have to find ways to cope with him.  He may even be quite willing to help you if you ask him.   As a previous poster said, don't use your ADD as an excuse.  that is also something you have to learn to live with and cope with, so do some research about it on line and you might find suggestions that will help you.

You have to get it inside yourself to improve. if you try to improve just for that semster or something, technically, you haven't improved. You've just crammed some good grades in the grade book so you can have a good grade in that class. You have to develop the whole attitude of,"ima get my grades up because it will improve me as a person not just in this particular class." Thats what i did. I got one C in the third grade and i have been making straight A's, skipped a grade, and have been placed in many academically gifted courses. So a week wouldn't do it. You gotta work on it, seriously. Sad, but true!!!

Well if you think she's failing you all on purpose go talk to the principal.  If you can reason with her, ask her if you can do extra credit or what you can do to pull your grade up.  Better yet, ask her if she can tutor you.  Teachers hate when they have to do extra work and maybe she will take it easy on you guys.

How can we help you if we know nothing about the teacher?  Would it help you to know why I liked my favorites?  OK:\n\nI had a history teacher in junior high who had us act out little scenarios from history, to make the whole thing seem real.  That was very good.  One of my math teachers used to give use wonderful little math puzzles, including some that were extremely funny, like those based on the works of Lewis Carroll.  My favorite French teacher gave us little gifts for spelling bees, and I won a package of five tiny (sample size) bottles of real French perfume!  My Latin teacher had us reading the "naughty bits" in the old bawdy Latin plays, but that was in college, and we were all very mature.\n\nGenerally, the teachers who put some creativity into the classroom, and who draw creativity out of their students, get the best ratings and teach the most.  But the other thing is the teacher to expects a lot, but plays fair.  My sixth grade teacher gave us lots of homework, and graded exams very uncompromisingly.  But she always answered the questions we had, and never played favorites.  She just imperiously assumed we all had the ability to learn, and would not accept laziness.  The lazy students hated her, but the ones who wanted to learn, learned a lot.  She was also very systematic, did the same pattern of exercises every day, so we always knew what to expect.  We had ten questions on the blackboard to write down in our notebook to answer in history and social studies; we had 20 vocabulary words in spelling, ten sentences to diagram in English . . . does anybody diagram sentences anymore?  Sometimes a very old-fashioned teacher is the one from whom you learn the most.  (Not "the one you learn the most from," because a preposition is a bad thing to end a sentence with!)

Study more, and pay closer attention to the subject. MAke sure you understand, what you need to know. Also do your homework. Take your time to think about and don't rush. If you don't understand it, ask someone who might be able to help. Good luck, these are the tips i use to get straight A's.
