Seek one on one help outside of class! I am available before school, at break, lunch, and after school.
I am available often and would love to help you better understand your class work! I can even create some practice problems for you to work through with me to make sure that you understand the content. I am here as early as 7:30 AM and can help you until 3:30 PM, if needed. Make sure you ask me for a lunch pass if you would like to visit me during lunch.
Take notes during class!
Include example problems that we work through.
Taking ORGANIZED notes in your math notebook during class is very important. We will often work through sample math problems on the whiteboard together. These problems will be good study tools for you to look at when studying for quizzes and tests. Additionally, I will frequently have key points and terms written on the whiteboard that will be helpful to write in your notes. I even allow you to use your notes on quizzes!
