Where to work & study

Try to find a quiet space in your home to work on your homework and/or to study. Examples may include:

  • the dining room table

  • the kitchen table

  • a desk

  • the coffee table in the living room (TV off, if possible).

Some important things to ask yourself when you're about to settle in and get to work are:

  • can I focus here?

  • do I feel awake and alert here? or am I too comfortable and sleepy?

  • do I have something to write on?

Tips for studying math

  • Go to class. When you are absent, make up your work immediately.

  • Ask questions and listen when others ask questions. This is VERY important.

  • Review regularly. 10-20 minutes a day of review beats 3 hours of cramming. Trust me!

  • Review your notes and/or helpful videos before beginning your homework.

  • Show all of your work and check your work. Developing good habits during practice will help you during tests and quizzes.

  • Practice, practice, practice. This is the most important part. Rework homework problems and rework problems from your notes. Cover the answers and quiz yourself.

  • Make a list of important concepts and formulas in your notebooks. Explain the concepts in your own words, and review the list so that you can memorize what's really important.
