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.

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.

American History is a tough subject ... you know requiring you to think for yourself...study...memorize...listen to teachers drone on and on. I truely have faith you can do your own home work though.

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

Friend - Talk to your guidance counselor.  Colleges offer independent studies on basic math or tutors that can help you to understand math.  There is no reason to be embarrassed, many people have been passed over in the school system without learning the tools they need for life.  The blame is on them, not you.  But, if you let this continue, it will cripple your ability to function in the world...get to that counselors office.  Best of luck. GBU

http://mathforum.org/dr.math/\n\nThis is Ask Dr. Math, a website that can offer help for general math through Algebra and beyond. There are other good websites for math out online, type in keywords,  homework  math help and see all that you come up with. Eventually you will find one that can walk you through most problems. Good luck.

You should probably go see your tutor at school for help.  You never know what kind of answer someone is going to give you...or if they are just messing with you.

just practice by doing more math problems\n\nThe more you practice, the more you'll get the hang of it.

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:)

Wow, that's a broad area of a problem. What exactly are you having trouble with?\n\nMy guess would be that you're not confident in your ability to do maths, because that underlies most science. You need to "get" algebra, in particular, to solve most Physics problems, and some people just have trouble getting thir head round the idea that a letter can stand for a number you don't know (or even one you do).\n\nI'd suggest you try to get some remedial algebra help and see if that makes things easier.\n\n=======\n\nIf it's not the maths, then I guess you are having trouble concentrating because you don't find it interesting, and don't see how it relates to your life.\n\nPartly that's down to poor teaching, but you can't let that ruin your education. You could read some popular science books, or New Scientist magazine (your school probably has it in the library). I don't know if schools still run electronics clubs like they did in my day, but that's one way to get into a certain area of Physics. Astronomy is great to read about, or again join a local club.\n\nBut yeah, some of it is hard and boring. Thermodynamics springs to mind :-)

Begin by teling yourself that there's nothing on this earth that can defeat you. Make a humble return to those things you know about math and begin to gradually work your way back up to the level where you first began having trouble. Believe in yourself, I know you can do it.

i am sure you can find a math tutor that will be happy to help you when you explain what the problem is.\n\nso what IS the problem, anyway?

I failed college algebra, finite math and economics.  I managed to barely pass the second time around.  I'm terrible at math, I just don't get it.  I made straight A's in English and History type classes though.  They say people are "wired" certain ways.  Don't feel bad if you fail a class or two.  Just try harder the second time, learn from your mistakes, and maybe get a tutor!

**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.

the easiest way to get your grade back to where you want them, is to take the subjects your lagging in, wutever your having problems with try to break it down into something you enjoy, like science is broken down into simple everyday things and the same for math and what not so just try to focus wut your having issues with into being able to function again, science is as simple as eating a pizza and math as easy as doing the dishes you just have to find a way to look at it like that
