Learning math can be a daunting task when you do not have the right tools or the right materials, especially if you grew up believing that math is hard and that you will never understand it. Get rid of any negative thinking that either your teachers, friends, or even a caring relative helped you build over the years and start believing in yourself. Math is like a pyramid. Every new skill requires an understanding of prerequisites to do well. For instance, before, one can learn how to add numbers with digits, such as !"# $ %!&, it is important to know how to add numbers with 'ust one digit or two such as % $ " or !( $ "). *y the same token, before learning pre+algebra, a good understanding of basic mathematics is important. ,nd before learning algebra, a solid understanding of pre+ algebra is a must. -n the end, your basic mathematics knowledge will be strong and you will be very much prepared to handle algebra or any other higher level math courses. /he following tips are 'ust my advices 0lan a regular time to study 1hoose a quiet place where you will not be distracted. 2hen you study, try to study an entire lesson, or an entire chapter. 2hen you finish a whole lesson or a whole chapter, it may leave you with a great feeling of accomplishment 2hen you feel sleepy, take a short break3 you will not learn much, if anything if you are not alert.
