- 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.

you need to do a lot of exercises, ask your teacher a lot of questions, and work on your math every day... \ngood luck!!!!!!

since you got access to internet, thats already a good thing. you can surf the net for math tutorials or lessons. use yahoo search and type math tutorials. there you can have your lessons. the best way to study and learn math is to solve and solve problems... in this kind of subject, practice really makes perfect. no memorisation needed...\ngoodluck.\n\nps. i dont think any education is idiot. maybe there is just something wrong with the system. why would it be called education if its not educating. \n\ngoodluck

1.Read the text, slowly and clear ur concepts in between\n2.Read again briskly, underlining the important points.\n3.Make notes of any extras that u know, or u find hard to remember.\n4.Study's shud have a regular regime, give proper 2 hrs if u're not in high-school, otherwise make it 4 hrs., its important.\nFruits are gained either by regular studies/by mugging up to gain marks, i dont like the latter, bcos its not long time, u have to make a start, sticking on to the method above, gradually u'd increase ur speed of learning, and u'll do more in less time.Good Luck!!!!!\nYa n i forgot the maths-well u do sums, solve problems...start from 2 per day to 100 per day, first clear main concepts, n have a command over elementary mathematics...go further n solve problems, its laborious, but fruitful, u wont need to clear concepts again n again if ur basic is strong.Make it strong now or  never, u shud take anyquestion in the book, and start, try teaching maths to juniors, it really helps.

Try a logical approach... and play lazy... First determine which you hate worse: Math or not knowing the answer. After determining which one you hate worse simply be ignorant of the other undesireable, and relie on others to provide the solution for you. In case you hate math worse than not knowing the answer you can also have a calculator do the work for you.

1. Do not have any fear about mathematics.\n2. Try to understand the question and think of methods for solving it. Try the method which appears most appropriate. Change the method if it leads to wall.\n3. Consider the question as most important enemy which you have to conquer at every cost, all other things being sundry. Let it be like Arjun's proverbial eye. \nCondition Your mind so that it thinks of nothing other than solution for the question.\n4. Search questions which are considered tough and solve them.\n5. Have confidence that if someone can solve it why that person should not be you.\n6. Practice makes man perfact. So solve every question which comes your way. Be after questions. Proverbally, you should not fear maths, let maths fear you.\n7. Your attitude and confidence to be winner and expert mathematician.

"just need to memorize all the formulas and keep practicing maths even if u dont get it... it helps in long run.."\n\nThat is terrible advice. Do not listen to that. That may be a way to pass math classes, but it is not a way of understanding math. (I refuse, to this day to memorize the quadratic formula) I guess it depends on what exactly you are struggling with. Algebra is probably the one that gets a lot of people, and once you don't understand that, you're kinda screwed on calculus & all others that follow.

Math is about finding easier ways to solve more problems.  If it's still hard, you're not there yet.  Keep trying.

Practice.  First off, you have to show ALL of your work.  If you can't write it down, you don't understand.  Saying "I do it in my head" doesn't cut it.  Explain how to do a problem that you already know how to do to someone else.  Mathematical concepts are cumulative so you have to understand how to do one type of problem before moving on to the next.\n\nI know that most math textbook, especially grade school, have too many review problems and not enough problems dealing with the new concept being introduced.  Therefore do all of the homework problems, not just those assigned.  After you get papers back, figure out why you didn't get the correct answer on those you missed.  What step did you miss?  Did you make a mistake in arithmetic?  Did you miss a critical piece of information needed to solve the problem?  Did you try to use some information that really wasn't needed?\n\nThe biggest problem most people have with math is that they think that they have to get the answer right away.  That is fine for simple addition and subtraction.  But think about long division.  If you follow the process and don't rush, it may take awhile but the answer eventually comes.  Same idea goes for simplifying algebraic equations, doing trigonometry proofs, solving quadratic equations, calculus derivatives, integrals, and differential equations.  Take is slow, do what you know, and figure out what you don't.

the best way is memorization... some may say otherwise.  It will take a while, but multiplication is KEY to mathematics... if you dont get your mult tables, it will make math more tedious in the long run.  (trust me, I am a math teacher).  Start by writing your times tables over and over again.  Then either make or buy some flashcards.  Also, Get your parents and friends to quiz you.  \n\nGood luck!

read lots of books (or a dictionary), do well on math section, hence talk with your math teachers and ask for additional help. and yes there were a few people that did... friends of mine in fact...

improving in physics or math doesn't only rely on good books, you also have to work really diligently and discipline yourself. to solve a problem efficiently, list out the given informations. then, write all the formulas you can think of that applies to the problem, and evaluate which equations are most applicable to the situation. to really improve, i suggest that you do the exercises in whatever book you might have. (i recommend conceptual physics by hewitt, since it's easy to understand), and actually answer at least 40% of all the problems for a particluar chapter. if you got a wrong answer, always analyze what went wrong in your euations, so you won't make the same mistake. read, read, read. also, it's helpful to understand the basic concepts which underly the equations you use. don't try to do the challenging stuff first, until you master the simpler ones, and until you really understand the theory behind the math. it's tough work, but you can really improve if you try hard.

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:)

I think that what's so tough about math, and why everybody hates it so much, is that it's kind of like "gym class" for the brain.  It's hard at first, even painful if you're not used to it, but the only way for it to get better is to do a bunch of hard, boring exercises until you get used to it.  Just as exercising is hard at first, once you start building up muscles it starts to get easier.  It's almost literally the same way for your brain, except instead of "building up" your brain, you're actually creating new pathways in your brain.  It's like clearing a path through a jungle; it's really hard going at first, but it gets easier each time you go over it.\n\nYou do have to "get it" to begin with, though.  That's where your teachers come in.  If you're not understanding something, get them to help.  That's their job.  You may want to talk to your parents about it, and maybe look into getting a tutor.\n\nGood luck.  Just remember:  The second time is always easier than the first.  The third time is easier than the second.  The fourth time...
