Learning, in its most basic form, is just forming relationships between things you know and one or two new items to synthesize new information or a new process. For example, if you can add, you can multiply. 3+3+3+3 is the same as take 4 groups of 3 and add them together (4 x 3). If you can multiply, you can do exponents. 3x3x3x3 is the same thing as multiplying 3 by itself 4 times (3^4). If you can relate math to things you already know or experience daily, it will start to make sense. To get good at math means three things: Get good at the basics; Learn the special language; Learn the processes. After that it is just practice practice and practice. To really know it means you can relate it to new or different things.

Go back to math class and figure it out!

Think of your favorite hobby. Mine is reading science fiction. Apply learning math to your favorite hobby. It could be baseball or anything. Try and remember that Math is like a truly universal language. Don't think of math it as numbers like letters, but as numbers that are letters that make words with meaning in the real world.

if you really want math then pursue it but if not then it's time for you to shift to another course. a friend of mine used to tell me this saying whenever i'm in the state of dilemma like yours, i'd rather be a failure at something i enjoy than be a success at something i hate... its up to you now to decide

I can probably help u with it....I am in grade 10, skipped grades 9...reasonably good at Algebra and Trig, Geomerticaly retarded though T,T"\ndamnedatheist@gmail.com can help u

First you have to know how to spell the various types of geometry: Euclidean, Non-Euclidean for a start. Then do a search for more informaiton.

Multiplication and division are basically just a matter of memorization.  I know if you're just learning it, its hard.  I remember having trouble as well when I first started.  But keep at it.  It will get frustrating at times, but keep at it.  The problem with math is that as you go farther, you need to remember everything you've already learned.  But otherwise, it can be real easy.  Just keep at it and you'll do fine.

It's been too long for me.\n\nSample many definitions. Go to MATHWORLD.COM (lower case)\n2 geometric figures are CONGRUENT when one gets transformed into the other by isometry.\n\nStay with it.\n\nGRIZZ

hi...\nlooks like your frantic to become an einstein...\nanyway i just want to share some tips with you...\n\n* get to know all the formulas in your  standard  syllabus and little higher too..because maths alwasy means "the more cunning and clever ..the better you tackle the subject from all angles" cunning i meant the questions.. since those questions will be to find out who thinks out of the box..\n\n* try to analyse the data with the question and find equations relate closer to the answer..\n\n*mostly look intoalgebraic and arithmetic problems, quadratic equations,trignometric ratios, polynomials geometrical figures and graphs /statistics. i know these willbe common topics to you..but questions will be of a higher level\n\n* try to refer the previous or if possible any question of maths olympiad held previously ,so that you can refresh yourself with the questions\n\n* questions are not going to be simple since it is going to be tough... so spend enought  time with each of your math topic and try to work even difficult and unusual problems too..i.e which you havent worked out ..\n\n* relax and study..pray to god..he can help you face this challenge... so get prepared for the war with numbers\n\nall the best and good luck to you

Dont say you cant do it. You can as long as you make up your mind. You know if you work in a group, for example,  get your friends, and do group studies.I know that they will be willing to go an extra mile to build you up on your weakest points in mathematics. I  tell you this, because it happened to my son, and he was successful when he tried this. Good luck

Best way to study for a Math test... Do TONS of practice problems for the stuff that will be on the test... just random questions from your assignments that will be covered on the test.  Make sure the answers are in the back of the book... check your answers and if you get them wrong.  Ask your teacher to help you with those you don't know how to do.   If thye give you a practice test DO IT... and find a buddy to study with...\nGood luck on your tests

you can probably searth that like search Homework Help/ Tutoring websites for Geom/honors    and tht will probably work.

I find that in order to know math really well you gotta practice, practice and practice. Take out a math book and just do some examples. You will see were you are weak (ask someone for help, of course) and many times you come across a difficult or tricky example you will be glad you came across while studying and not during the test. Good Luck!

Don't believe it when people tell you that you don't need to know geometry or algebra.  Depending on what you do in your life you may never have to prove that angles A and B are the same and you may never have to solve for X, but that doesn't mean that algebra and geometry aren't useful.\n\nThe purpose of learning math isn't so much to know math itself (although for some that's essential).  It's more about teaching you how to think.  Studying math helps you to think logically and dispassionately.  That can serve you well in life.\n\nAlso, algebra and geometry teach you how to think abstractly.  People who can't think abstractly tend to be very limited in their thinking and in their lives in general.  If everything you think about has to be concrete and obvious, you are going to be a very narrow person.\n\nIn my opinion, passing basic algebra should be an exit requirement for high school.
