Ten Ways to Survive the Math Blues

The other day Jojo showed our class an article online that I thought was very cool, useful, and helpful. I think it would be good to share with the class again because for people that have trouble in math like me, it's hard to actually even go to class or like math at all. So here are ten ways to survive math because you'll have to take it for the rest of high school!

1)Figure out the big picture

2)Get on top of it before it gets on top of you

3)Read Ahead

4)Use more than one resource

5)Don't join the blame game

6)Practice makes perfect

7)Time management

8)Don't copy to survive

9)Never, never give up

10)Have fun with it!

The most important ones to me are numbers 5-9. NOT that the others aren't cool. But I think it is important that everyone should that math will get hard and super boring and when it does, keep in mind that by doing it more often you eventually master it. All you need is time, a positive attitude, and determination! If you think about it, you feel much better and more successful when you work hard for something and finally get it rather than not work very well and get a crappy outcome. Copying applies to not working very well because you aren't doing your own work. Remember to not blame your teachers because they are only trying as much as you will so give as much as you can and they will too. The very important ones are left for last: don't give up and have fun!

I hope this helps you as much it has helped me. :D
