Do you have . . . ?
Math anxiety is a learned emotional response to one or more of the following: 1. Participating in a math class 3. Working through problems 2. Discussing mathematics 4. Listening to a lecture
Test Anxiety“ If your anxiety is a direct result of lack of preparation, consider it a normal, rational reaction. However, if you are adequately prepared but still panic, "blank out", and/or overreact, your reaction is not rational. While both of these anxieties may be considered normal (anyone can have them) it is certainly helpful to know how to overcome their effects.”
Math Learning Disability If you have problems with basic math e.g. adding, subtracting,
dividing, etc. you may have a math learning disability. If you are having problems in Algebra, you may have an issue with
reading, writing, language, or sequential processing.Information courtesy of

Definitions of Proactive & Reactive
Proactive[proh-ak-tiv] adjective serving to prepare for, intervene in, or control an expected occurrence or situation, esp. a negative or difficult one; anticipatory: proactive measures against crime.
Reactive [ree-ak-tiv]adjective 1. tending to react. 2.pertaining to or characterized by reaction. 3.Electricity. pertaining to or characterized by reactance.
We’ll review a couple of different scenarios to see where you fit on the Proactive/Reactive Scale. . . .
Do things happened to you?
Do you plan for things to happen?

Proactive Planning versus Reactive Planning (Summary)
• If you’re proactive, You are actively
endeavoring to learn. You know what you
know and what you don’t know.
You’re continually planning for success.
• If you’re reactive, You are taking a
class. You don’t have a
clue where to go or how to get there.
You’re on your way to failure.

Make sure your awake and aware during class.
Get to know other people in your class. Create a study group Share notes
Take notes during class! Be sure to at least write down legibly what
information is covered in class. If writing is an issue, ask the instructor if you can bring a tape recorder to class.“For the things of this world cannot be made known without a knowledge of
mathematics.”-- Roger Bacon

The Auditory Learning Style
Learn through hearing From a math perspective . . .
You may want to bring a tape recorder to class
Viewing DVDs or listening to audio tapes may be helpful
If you wish to enhance this style, you will need to sit away from noisy distractions such as the TV, open windows, or crowded areas.
“Pure mathematics is, in its way, the poetry of logical ideas.” --Albert Einstein

The Language of Math
These are the things that you need to know in order to succeed in Math, feel prepared to take an exam, and basically, know what you don’t know. . .
“In mathematics, you never understand things; you just get used to them.”
--John von Neumann
Terminology Definitions Notation Theorems
Factual Knowledge Procedural Knowledge Conceptual
Knowledge

Discovering the Language of Math (Terminology)
The first step in learning Math is understanding the words being used in Math.
If you don’t know what a polynomial is, could you “Factor the polynomial(s), circle the binomial, and underline the monomial.” given the following:• x
2 -9• x
2 + 2x + 1
• 2x“Since Mathematics is intermediate between natural and divine science, it is more certain than either of them.”
-- Thomas Aquinas

Discovering the Language of Math (Definitions)
Next, you need to know what each word means.
Do you know what a derivative is? A polynomial? An integral? A matrix?
If you’re sitting in your Math class and it feels like your teacher is speaking another language, it’s time to review the terminology & definitions.

Discovering the Language of Math (Notation)
The language of Math includes words and symbols.
Understanding the notation that is being used is the next step in understanding the language of Math.
Do you know the difference between set notation and interval notation when calculating the domain/range of a function?
X X½
{x | x ≤ 1 } ≈ (-∞,1]

Discovering the Language of Math (Theorems & Factual Knowledge)
Just like other languages, there are rules to Math. Theorems (Pythagorean Theorem) Properties (Additive Property: a + b = b + a ) Equations
y = mx + b (Equation of a line) y = ax
2 + bx + c (Equation for a parabola)
Factual Knowledge is essential facts and figures that you’ve memorized cos, sin, tan of 0, x
0=1

Discovering the Language of Math (Procedural Knowledge)
There are a number of different ways to solve certain Math problems
The more methods you know, the better off you are. For example, to factor a polynomial, you could use
the following: Grouping Completing the square The AC Method The quadratic formula Plug and play A combination of the above

Discovering the Language of Math (Conceptual Knowledge)
When you know the what, why, when, where and how behind any mathematical concept, you have reached nirvana and conceptual knowledge.
Example: Not only do you know what a derivative is, you know how
to calculate it for any given function. You understand that the derivative is the rate of change
of a function and gives you the slope of the graph at any given point.
You can discuss derivatives with your instructor. Integrals come easy to you because you know reverse
engineer calculating the derivative.

The Language of Math . . . Practical Application
If you feel as if the teacher is speaking another language, it’s time to review the Terminology and Definitions.
If it looks like the instructor is solving a problem using ancient script, it’s time to review the Notation.
If you find yourself missing problems because you don’t know the cos 45˚ ํ or you forget your multiplication tables, is time to pull out the flash cards to memorize the Factual Knowledge.
If you can’t follow how the instructor solves the problem, you may want to check your Procedural Knowledge and what you know about Theorems.
If you’re in any math class beyond Pre-Calculus including Statistics having a Conceptual Knowledge of each concept/subject will enable you to solve problems more efficiently and effectively.

Reading for Understanding, I
Know the important sections in your book. The Table of Contents outlines what information
will be covered, in what order and what page you can find a particular topic.
The Index is a quick way to find information. If you’re looking for where polynomials are discussed, go to the index to find the page number.
The Glossary gives you the definitions of terms used in your textbook.
Most math textbooks have the answers to the odd problems in the back of the book.
“There are no deep theorems -- only theorems that we have not understood very well.”--Nicholas P. Goodman

Reading for Understanding, II
Reading a math book is not like reading a fictional novel or a humanities textbook. You will be reviewing/reading each more than once!!!
Review your textbook to see how the author presents the information. NOTE: Some authors explain how to use the book in the beginning. Are key words/terms bolded? Are theorems, methods in separate squares? How are example problems presented?
Review the section first to see what new terminology is being presented as well as to highlight any new notations used.
Slide #36
![Page 37: How To Study Math](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081511/56815025550346895dbe0f5c/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Reading for Understanding, III
After understanding what terminology & notation is being used, read through the section carefully. Every word, dot, symbol, etc. counts!!! If you don’t understand a word used by the author, stop and
look it up in a dictionary. When an example is presented, cover the answer and
try to work it out on your own. If you can’t, review each step of the example to understand
the method being used. If you can’t figure it out on your own, know your resources
and get help. Obtaining the student solutions manual may help you
understand how to solve the problems. Ask yourself, “Is my book working for me?” If it’s not,
don’t be afraid to go to the library, a bookstore, online or even to your professor to find another book that will work for you.

Building a Learning Circle
“No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent.” John Doone
Get to know individuals in your class, friends/family members that were good in math, other professors, etc.
Know Who you can go to for what type of help Which individual explains things in ways you can understand Who you can study with Who to go to when you need to vent or need advice Who to stay away from
Basically, you want to develop your own support group. Don’t focus on quantity. Focus on quality.

Quick Tips (3)
Test taking strategies Your success in taking a test depends highly on your
personal belief in your knowledge and ability. If you think you’re going to fail, you’re on your way there. Prepare yourself as much as possible. Have a test taking strategy for timed exams. You are
being tested on your knowledge of the subject area, time management, and how efficiently & effectively you solve problems. As a result, do the problem you know how to do. Circle the ones that you know how to do but will take
considerable time. “X” the problems where you have no clue. Always go back and check your work for any arithmetic or other
errors!!!!!
