Math class can be an enjoyable journey if you are willing to put in a little effort beforehand. Planning goes a long way.
DO HOMEWORK DAILY
Doing homework on a daily basis is essential to succeeding in math class. Take notes in class and use them daily. If you do your homework regularly you won't fall behind when a problem occurs and it will be easier to study for a test. Make a file where you can keep all your notes handy for future reference.
DON'T BE AFRAID TO ASK HELP
Don't be afraid or to proud to ask for help. Your teacher will gladly help you and it will give you the tools to conquer the problem. Sometimes it is easier to understand something if someone else just shows you how, instead of battling endlessly yourself. It will save you a lot of time in the long run.
