HOW TO MAKE NOTHING WORK FOR YOU : 5 CHEATS TO GET AN 'A' IN MATHS EVEN WHEN YOU KNOW 'NOTHING'!
Hi there and how have you been ?
I haven't written for a while now and I apologize for that. You know nothing gives me joy like when when I sit down for hours to write for you guys 😍. Anywho, every once in a while I write posts about 'booklong ' things and today too I have prepared something on how to amplify your performance in Math. I think this might be my longest post yet.😋 Happy reading and please don't forget to let me hear your thoughts in the comments box 😁!
"Don't worry about your difficulties in Mathematics, I assure you my are still greater." Albert Einstein once said.
If the guy whose name comes first when you google 'best mathematician in the world' says something like this, then my guy make you no lose vim kraaa when you think you know 'nothing' (after all you no bi Jon Snow 😂).
You see Math can be challenging, I know...because it used to be a challenge for me too. I used to know 'nothing' either... even now I still know 'nothing'
The question is how is it that I know 'nothing' and yet have gotten A's in almost all the papers I have written?(damn that B+ in Level 200 second semester!😧) The answer is quite simple, I devised a series of strategies that got me the A's!
Now I'm not saying my experiences are absolute yet I believe that no matter what your academic standing is or the level of 'nothingness' you know, if you were to adopt these strategies too and were to use them this semester, you would see a massive increase in your performance in your semester Mathematics exams!
The strategies defined! :
1.What In The Name Of Homework!? ....
There is a common misconception that homework is primarily something to eventually hand in to the teacher. Actually, the homework is first and foremost a means of learning fundamental ideas and processes in mathematics, and of developing habits of neatness and accuracy.
What is passed in to the teacher is only a by-product of that learning process. The basic idea is, do your homeworks, both the given and the non-given ones_especially the non-given ones . You see 333, some Kojo hoho years ago, it was realised that the more you practice, the more you know!
So it's totally fine that you know 'nothing' just keep solving the 'examples ' your tutor will give you as homework and find a plethora of other examples to do on your own and witness how later during the exams you'll do oboo-nana-things! (can I get an amen? 😁)
2. How To Make 'Nothing' Work For You!
What do you do when an answer is wrong in your homework, or on a test? Do you throw it away and forget it-and then make the same mistake the next time? If you are wise, you will make those errors teach you something. Here's what you can do:
#.Analyze the error to see if you can find what you did wrong.
If it is a careless error and you really knew how to do the work correctly, make a note of it, and if you find that you keep making careless errors frequently, start working more carefully.
If you can't find where your error is, ask the teacher or a classmate to help you.
# Keep a page in your notebook entitled, "Warning: Errors to Avoid." On the same page write a description of the corrected way to do that kind of exercise, being sure to emphasize the important idea behind it.
3.Classwork: How to Make the Most of Your Time in Class
Sister, I too know how sweet and incredibly mind-blowing oversleeping can be (I'm in bed kraaa as I write this😉) but if you truly want to bypass the 'nothing' you know, say it slowly with me SHUN TOO MUCH SLEEP!(harsh?... I know 😰) This is how you can cut back on sleep time and totally go to class and slay like a boss! :
#Get ready. In the minute or two before the class gets started, think over what you have been working on recently.
#Have all necessary equipment: book, pencils or pens, notebook, homework assignment.
Take down the assignment promptly and accurately.
#Concentrate. This takes an effort if you are the kind whose mind tends to wander.
#Ask questions when you do not understand.
Listen to the questions and answers of others in the class. When another pupil is answering a question, think how you would answer the question.
Take part in the class discussion.(very important!)
#Do not write at the wrong time. When you are taking notes, be sure you do not miss anything that is said while you are doing so. When taking notes, there are two conflicting things you must try to do. One is to make your notes complete and accurate enough to be valuable to you later. The other is to make your notes brief enough so that you can continue to listen to what is being said in class.
4. Road to 'A' Street.
Quick question, if tests or exams are approaching and you know 'nothing' , how do you avoid drowning in the cruel lake of refer papers?.... Sike! you don't have to answer, just do these :
#Start reviewing far enough in advance so you have time to do a careful unhurried job, and still are able to go to bed early the night before the exam.(seriously Charley all this mining no, are you the only one whose mother sells chewing stick to take care of them? 😂😆)
#Be sure to go through your notes and the examples that are there. If they don't make sense to you, you haven't taken enough notes!
If there are some formulas for which you are supposed to know, make a list of them and then practice saying them, or writing them.
#Use the review materials at the end of each chapter of your handout or textbook. If you are having trouble on a problem, go back to that section in the book and rework some problems there.
# If you were the teacher, what questions would you ask on the test? Prepare yourself for those questions.
#Since it is said that "practice makes perfect", one of the better ways of studying for a test is to do some problems that were previously assigned to you. Go over your homework to be sure you understand the procedure you used in each section.
#Get a good night's rest the night before the exam!
#DON'T WORRY! ( I saw the 'A' on the evening news, it had been murdered by YOU! 😂😂)
5. Writing The Math Exams Like A Boss!
Alright, you have applied the strategies and truths I have espoused via this post and your fishing pole has already hooked an 'A' in the exams lake, how do you reel the catch in?... Simple, do these! :
#When you take a test, have the right attitude - take pride in doing the best job you can. Don't try to "get by"(hoh ,why be average when you can be great? 😎) with doing as little as possible. Have confidence in your own ability.
#Be serious and concerned enough about the test to do your best, but don't worry to the point of anxiety. Fear alone can make a person do poorly on a test, regardless of his ability and knowledge.
#Have all necessary equipment.
#FOLLOW DIRECTIONS. Read carefully and listen carefully for any special instructions, such as where answers are to be written, any changes or corrections, etc.
Look over the whole test quickly at the start and, unless you are required to do the questions in the order given, do the ones you are sure of first.
If you are unable to answer a question, leave it and go on to another, coming back to the hard one later. Often, with a fresh start, you will suddenly see much better what to do.
#Be careful to show clearly what you are doing. Remember that the teacher is not a mind-reader, and your grade may depend on whether or not the teacher can see from your work that you understand what you are doing.
#Work neatly. It makes a good impression on the teacher!
Check back as you go along for accuracy. Careless errors can make a great deal of difference in your score.
With the right attitude and careful preparation for a test you probably will do well on the exam.
#Remember: The one or two hours of the test are but brief moments in your life span so DON'T PANIC!
