Study, Study, Study. if your doing well in all your other classes, just ut your mind into your math class. Maybe take time before or after school with your teacher. Or maybe get a tutor?

Ask your math teacher if he/she can recommend some students to you that are doing well in the class.  Maybe they can help me with what you miss.  If they live close to you, they could help you out after school.  Also ask the teacher if you can tape record the class.  That way at least you can hear what is going on and maybe that will help you with the lesson.  You can also ask if the teacher would mind staying late on day a week to help you with the parts that you don't understand.  If you are willing try the teacher is more likely willing to help you.  I can't say that everything will work, but you can try.

the trick is i think to really comunicate with all your students.\nyou have the odds in your favour, as teenagers love competition and they will do anything to stay on top of the things they find "cool". So, all you have to do is to make math a "cool" thing in the school you are teaching.\nthis can be accomplished either by getting a already popular student to be good at math, or by making several "middle" accepted students love math and brag about this all the time. Teenagers only care abuot popularity, and methods like making the lessons more nice and teaching measures that are good moves with younger children will not work.\nOr, you could catch a popular "football star" student that needs a good grade in math to keep playing on the school team or something like that... Now all yo uhave to do is to make that person like math. Give him free private sessions yourself or asign a student that you consider he might like.  If you get him not only to pass math but to have a real interest in math from then on you have accomplished your purpose. All others will follow the popular guy, so everyone will try and learn more and more math.\ni realize this is a little out there, and that it can not be considered a real teaching strategy, but belive me it works, it really does. Look at it this way: you are not playing with their minds as it seems, you are just doing what you can to give them a better chance in life...

Hopefully before you think about going to "collage" (college!) to be a vet "assitant" (assistant!), you'll want to bone up on your spelling.  If you were to write like this on a college essay, they'd put yours at the bottom of the pile.

If your school has an advanced diploma, take the classes that you need to get that instead of the general diploma. The main goal in high school is to prepare yourself to go to college. You need to take challenging classes, but also get good grades. You need a good foundation in English, Math, and Sciences, but you should also take the time to explore other interests as well. If you are interested in music, physical education, shop classes, or anything else that your school offers then take one or two of those classes. Just don't overload your schedule with all of the 'easy' classes. \n\nExtra-curricular activities really count for vet school too. It will look good for you to do some volunteer work or get a part-time job at places that are involved in animal care. Vet offices, animal shelters, farms and zoos are a couple of ideas to consider.\n\nOnce you get to college it would be a good idea to focus on sciences like biology. You don't need to worry about that too much in high school. Just try to make sure you have a well balanced schedule and give your chosen courses your best effort.

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 :)

Most colleges do not have "pre-vet" as a major, and those few that do are the exception rather than the rule.  Students should not be deceived into thinking that a college with a "pre-vet" major is a better choice than a college that does not.  \n\nLike "pre-med," "pre-vet" is a constellation of courses that students hoping to be admitted to veterinary school must take in order to be qualified as vet school candidates.   These courses usually include biology or zoology, chemistry, calculus, physics, psychology, and English.\n\nIf you hope to be admitted to veterinary school, my best advice is this:\n1) Attend the best (most highly ranked) college you can get into, and earn the best grades you can manage. \n\n2) Speak regularly with a "pre-vet" advisor to make sure you are fulfilling all the requirements for veterinary school admissions, but major in anything you really love.   ("Pre-vet" advisors are sometimes the same as "pre-med" advisors, depending on the university.)\n\n3) Volunteer many hours with a vet or at an animal shelter while you are in college.  A paid part-time job with a vet, or an animal hospital, would be an acceptable alternative to volunteering.  \n\nIf you do these things regularly and well, you will enhance your candidacy when it comes time to apply to veterinary school.\n\nBest wishes to you!

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

**Learn to translate English into mathematical notation and vice versa.  This is very helpful in solving story problems and figuring out why a theorem is true.\n\n**Master the basics.  If you can add, you can subtract; if you can find the square of a number you can find the square root.  Understand the distributive property and the important theorems of what you're studying.  \n\n**If you run into a problem that you can't solve easily, think about a problem you can solve that is similar to it.  Usually when you're learning math from a textbook, you can find examples to help.  \n\nThe way mathematicians solve problems usually starts with trial-and-error.  With examples and practice, they learn rules that they can use as shortcuts.  They then use these theorems and postulates to solve more complex problems.  Learning math uses the same concept - start with the basics and learn little tricks along the way to make things quicker.

Yep, all the advanced science you can take, AP classes in science and math especially so you can get the college credit. Also, get as far in math as possible. \n\nYou might also want to check into taking community college classes during the summer, to start earning college credit early. I know you don't have much time after all that, but you also could volunteer at the pound, humane society, or ASPCA and get a little hands-on experience. Good way to see if you really want to be a veterinarian, too. \n\nGood luck!

Science - mostly physical sciences such as biology. Any courses that will improve communications skills - English, writing, psychology, etc. Remember, you have to also communicate well with other humans.\n\nA lot of math classes and ANY courses that might increase your exposure to animals, animal biology, zoology. And as a previous responder said - do well in all your classes. Veterinarian schools are difficult to get into!

Charisma. I had a real good math teacher, who really connected with all of his students. One day out of every month, he told stories about his Korean War experiences. Nothing about math! We got to know a little about him, and were able to relate to him as a person, rather than an authority figure. Let them know who you are, and let them share your life a little.

I suggest you find a vet school you might want to go to and contact them and ask them what they are looking for. That might help you plan better:-)

sit there think of sums that are really hard or get somone to rite some down on some paper work them out and use a calculator to check your answers if you are correct well done if not read over them and work out wot you did wrong. thats preatty much what i do and i get good marks in maths (hope i helped a bit at least)

Study or exposé on math topics,\nEuler numbers, Natural logarithms, prime numbers, etc.\nTry mental arithmetic.\nFor example, rapid multiplications, etc.

Well, it is very hard to get into a vet course and it is harder than a becoming a doctor.  The courses are very popular.  You are best taking Biology and Chemistry to go with it.  Maths is a good bet too!  Oh, and don't forget you need lots of animals experience to get in - thats what they look for!  So get a job in a kennels or a farm etc.  Good Luck!
