Algebra Student Study Tips

 

**Please don’t wait until the night before a test or quiz to try these tips!  The tips should be incorporated into a daily study routine in addition to normal homework assignments.  Algebra is an advanced class for high school credit.  It is each advanced student’s responsibility to put in the time and effort to perform at an advanced level and maintain an A or B average.

 

1.      Study all notes/lessons again at home.  Have a family member or friend (or yourself) quiz you on the material or have you explain the steps/algebra process until you have it memorized.

 

1.      Using pencil & paper, read the beginning of each lesson example and see if you can solve it the same way we did in class without looking at the solution.  If you can’t, you need to practice the lesson again!

 

2.    Extra Practice: Go to the chapter/section we are working on in class.  Practice odd numbered problems from the textbook.  You or a family member can look up the solution in the back of the book to see if you are getting the problems correct.

 

3.    Practice lessons & games on our class website, also visit ‘classzone.com’, our textbook website for powerpoints, practice, and games.

 

4.    Call a classmate for help.

 

5.    Call Mrs. D for homework help. (876-4567)

 

6.    Meet with classmates in your neighborhood or at the library to have study sessions.

 

7.    If completing all of the methods above still isn’t enough, have your parents contact the guidance department at YMS for a list of tutors that can help you one on one after school.
