bionicflux,\nPractice is the best way to get really good at math. When I was taking math classes and the teacher told us that our homework assignment was 'all the even numbered questions', I always did ALL the questions.  And I got lucky because he always used the odd numbered questions on the tests!\n\nHere are a few good websites for helping out.  It would be good to know what level/grade you are at so that appropriate math sites could be recommended.\n\nThis web site was developed to help students improve their math skills interactively. \nhttp://www.aplusmath.com/\n\nMath topics with interactive practice, explanations and challenge games for each.\nhttp://www.aaamath.com/\n\nOffers free math lessons and homework help, with an emphasis on geometry, algebra, statistics, and calculus. \nhttp://www.math.com/\n\nGoogle search results\nhttp://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&rls=GGLR,GGLR:2005-49,GGLR:en&q=math+skills

Then you should start studying.\nLearn a little at a time and always review regularly so you can remember it. Too much info at one time and you brain immediately forgets.\n\nAnd when studying for maths - don't just learn the theories and the formulas. Learn to apply them. Do lots of practice equations/questions. Eventually you'll know what to do immediately after seeing a new question. You won't even hesitate, so you'll save time for even harder questions.\n\nTrust me it works!!!

The best place to go for math help online that i found was \nhttp://www.math.com\nI hope its useful to you.  I know people on here can tell you the answers, but if you have a test to take, and want to really learn it, go there.

to get better at math,you need to practise it constantly.i used to be bad at math and every morning,i would do about 10questions and this practise helped me because in the morning your absorption rate is higher so i could atucally understand and retain what i studied.\nthe best way to understand math is to practise consatnly ans start with simple questions so when you grasp the basics you can do harder questions.never do harder questions first cuz that wud just make u feel depressed since you may not be able to answer them\nall the best

Demonstrations ... \nNothing stays in your mind more than examples, so at the beginning of each lesson show an example, have a student come up and pretend to buy something and you can 'cheat' them and see if they catch on. Then you teach them the math concept and explain how it helps.  However this is a very negative view and will influence their perception of the world.  Sometimes fun can help with teaching as well. For example when my professor taught us about trig and pi, he brought it an actual pie to teach the concepts :)

You won't find anything on the Internet that it explains things more clearly than your math book.  The only way to get help beyond that would be to ask questions directly to a teacher or tutor.\n\nYou probably should have been asking those questions sooner than the night before the final exam.

Ask Dr. Math is my favorite.  You can also try Mathworld, though I usually find that I leave it more confused than when I entered.

There are a lot of great sites out there that can help you along. \nAlso, you may want to check into some English help as well.\n\nhttp://www.math.com/

Try http://www.math.com\n\nThey have many informative tutorials for all levels of mathematics.

The most important thing is to convince yourself that all what is mathematics has an explanation, so you are SURELY able to understand it.\nIf you need more time, take your time, but never loose confidence in yourself, and try until you succeed in doing it.

- Follow your teacher(s) in the school.\n- Do your homework.\n- Try hard to solve the problems yourself before you ask anybody.\n- If someone helps you solve a problem -- take time to go over the steps.\n- Finally, practice, practice, practice.\n\nYour emphasis shouldn't be on memorizing. Math is not about momorizing, it is about concept.

Find ways to incorporate motion into your studying (writing, flashcards, etc.).\n\nGet a board game like trivial pursuit, monopoly, etc., make new cards with the information you need to learn, and play the game, drawing one card each turn and answering it before you get to move your piece.\n\nTo memorize lists, go get a basketball, and bounce the ball. For each bounce, say one item on your list.\n\nTo remember and analyze overall concepts, find a way to apply them around your house (especially for science). For social studies, find something you can do that is close to what the historical figures did (but safer), and do it while thinking about them.

The universe and all it entails is all brought about by mathematical principles. You can integrate math with virtually any subject. Examples? Here are a few.\nHome economics- Doubling fractions in recipes.\nPhysics- Loaded with math. Use mathematics to prove the laws.\nLanguage and/or Reading- To stimulate comprehension, have students figure out how many of a list of required books they enjoyed by percentage, write a paper on books they have read and maybe even figure out the probabability of the next book to be added to the list using laws of probability. You need, of course to have the difficulty in reading and math to match the other and also the age and ability of the students.\nSocial Studies- Have students figure out percentages of cultures using the english language, per capita population statistics, and probability to estimate growth, or how many different types of money is used in the world, etc.\nWriting- Have students write an essay using words instead of numbers to figure out a determinant (presuming they understand the concept, of course) or stating how to determine percentages or to write out certain laws of mathematics in paragraph form. Written proofs can also be used to demonstrate inductive or deductive reasoning.\nHope the examples help.

I used this site when I was studying, its very helpful\n\nhttp://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/gcsebitesize/maths/

Get one of those fat practice books and do a lot of practice --- particularly in math.\n\nI did this for math and walked away with almost a perfect score.

speak to your math teacher and ask her/him to help you out in class, show them that your determined to learn and they should help you out. \nalso when your doing your math problems talk them out to yourself so that you can see where your going wrong and take your time doing the problems. \none trick i used to learn and kinda sad was to add up number plates on cars as they went past, and then multiply the number and then divide and just mess about with the numbers, its just so that you get good at problem solving, even if its simple problems like addition, subtraction.\n\nfinally, just keep on trying and tell your parents to help you so that they can see your efforts and praise you too and they will hopefully take some measures like tuition to help you if you need it.\n\ngood luck:)
