Grade 9 Math?

Hey... School is starting in a week.





So before it starts, I'm going to get into the routine again. But math has always been hard for me. I truggled, and only gotten c's.





Everything else for me is fine.





So if you could help me with math in anyway at all it would be great.





By the way, I already have a very good calculator.





My friends help me, I'm not allowed to get a tutor.





But I need some extra help.





I don't get math at all.

Grade 9 Math?
Try different ways to learn the material. My favorite way was to go over the examples in the book. Sometimes it is easier to learn by reading than by listening to someone. If the teacher assigns the even problems (the ones without the answers) work some of the odd numbered problems first so that you can check your answers. Try to pick out a classmate to help you that knows a lot about math, but is not your best friend. Sometimes it is hard to learn from close friends, because you get off the subject too easily.


Always have plenty of scratch paper and a pencil when you work. Try not to do too many steps in your head.


Here is the hardest part: try to understand "why" and not just "how" the math works. Do not try to memorize too much.


To improve your grade on tests, check your work. Keep working the problems until you are sure you have no arithmetic errors or until the teacher asks for the paper. Careless mistakes usually are the difference between one letter grade on your report card!

Reply:ask lots of questions, that is very important. also pay very close attention during class and go after school to ask your teacher about any problems that you are having. also get help from the smartest ppl in your class. effort is the key though. work hard and dont get discouraged. Good luck!
Reply:If you are taking Algebra or a similar course, that covers stuff like Algebraic Expressions, Polynomials, Linear Equations, Quadratic Equations and stuff like that I just took that course as an Honors 8th grade math student. I would HIGHLY recommend getting a graphing calculator believe me by the end of the year you will be very happy. My best advice is to study hard, review your notes about every other night, ask your friends and teacher for help. You could also check out a book on the specific course that you are taking at the library; review books help a lot.





Good Luck!

Reply:Hey, I'm going into 9th too, but as an Honors Student, so I probably don't have the same problem. Well, 9th grade math is the same as 8th grade math honors, and let me tell you, it is TOUGH. But don't be nervous, you obviously care about your grades to ask for tips, and that puts you above a lot of your peers. There is really not much I can say, but if you ever need any help you can ask here. You have the drive already, so just work hard, pay attention, study every night and you can suceed.
