    If you get quickly frustrated with something, remember that research says that you need like 20 to 30 repetitions to remember something. You might even need more with increasing complexity. For math, I usually take a post-it note and write the "recipe" for the concept down and do the first exercises with that. After that, reps, reps, reps.

    1. before trying to solve a problem, plan on what to do first, then try to remember from the top of your head, if incorrect or seriously stuck, reread answer key, put it away, and answer again (repeat as much as possible)
    2. it's okay to not understand at first try, practice makes perfect !! ♥

    For me it was my teachers. If they didn’t care, I didn’t care. In a remedial math class I once had a professor tell me “you should know this” after I asked her a question. If I knew the answers, I wouldn’t be taking her class. Simple. Unfortunately after failing the CLEP test I had no choice but to retake the class. Thankfully this time it was with a different professor, very nice man, very intelligent, and suddenly everything clicked for me. Everything I’d failed to learn over all those years in school I finally understood. This professor actually seemed to care about his students’ success (or maybe he just didn’t want to fail anyone, haha). Either way, I noticed he seemed to pay extra attention to me because he would mostly look at me during his lectures. No, he didn’t have a “crush” on me, I was just more attentive than most of my classmates and took it very seriously. I’d come on time, not talk, sit at the front, participate, always take notes, ask questions, come to office hours, come prepared, etc. Call me “teacher’s pet” but I was determined this time to pass because my graduation was at stake. I was even motivated to start going to tutoring almost every day. It was an amazing and emotional transformation for me and I actually started to like math. I had this professor twice, and I advanced to college algebra. I graduated with honors from that school and I’ll never forget that math professor. Having a good teacher in your life really matters.

  • @NelsonStJames
    @NelsonStJames ปีที่แล้ว +794

    Success in Math is definitely a cumulative progression; missing one bit of knowledge in the chain can completely throw you off track when it comes to understanding later concepts. I think this happens to a lot of kids early on and they start to think they're bad a math, when they just didn't grasp a important skill and got left behind. The problem if one decides to pick up math later and give it another go is trying to determine what it was that you didn't understand in the past that caused you to just chuck it all in and become an english major instead.

  • @bsdpowa
    @bsdpowa 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +105

    The reason Maths is hard is because it teaches abstract concepts without putting them into context of their application and that's unnatural to humans. If you study law you will have real life cases to understand the subject, in medicine you have examinations of patients, in tech you have computer programs that help you understand code logic and data structures, in astronomy you observer the night sky etc. in Maths you can't show in real life what you're learning so people (like me) don't know how to understand it. And it will remain a difficult subject for this reason forever.

    I resonate with this video a lot, when I was a kid I never used to study math and failed at most tests except geometry. As I grew up everyone started labelling me as dumb, even my own parents made pretty hurtful comments lol. Randomly I got fed up and started to pickup math in 9th grade, I realised math isn't only about practice but also understanding the fundamental basics of the subject! During the time I studied math in 9th grade I focused on getting my basics dating to almost 4th grade syllabus at times. Slowly but surely I started to realised the recipe for math was to understand how it is solved then solve on your own! A lot of people discourage you from looking at answers, but how you mentioned that an approach to an answer actually tells you about the existing knowledge gaps that needs attention.
    Though I did really well in math in 10th grade, I lost traction in 11th and 12th grade but I was still above average, during that time however I was constantly being lazy, solving variety of problems and understanding the approach/intuition to an answer is the key to succeed in any logical subject!

    Another history lesson - 50 years ago we didn’t have access to solved problems 😢 to study from. My math breakthrough was in algebra in 8th grade. WORD PROBLEMS 😮 . I can still see that day, in that classroom, with the math teacher at my side complementing me on having got a word problem correct. It was a huge mental relief and it was like turning on a light 💡. I then made it a habit of not only doing the assigned math homework but every problem in that chapter. Next year geometry was a challenge but it was OK. I went on to study physics and engineering and retired from a 30 year career as a mechanical engineer at a US Department of Energy scientific laboratory.

    Even though I was one of the students who was naturally great at math, I still related to this video. What was really frustrating about A level Math (equivalent to 11th and 12th grade) was that it was primarily a practice-based subject instead of the memory/application subjects I was used to. The only way I could secure the A in Maths in Year 13 was to spend HOURS going over the easiest questions and scaling up to the hardest questions. You can't run before you learn to walk, so it made sense why I couldn't hack the high mark mechanics questions without going over the dead basics.

      1. PROTIP: get to know your calculator. Your A-Level calculator can solve quadratic formulas for you, which saves a lot of time in exams (but make sure you can factorise without one as well, don't rely solely on your calculator).
      2. Practice questions are a MUST. I did Edexcel, so I used the practice questions in the textbook. My go-to website for practice questions was "MadasMaths" since it started from DEAD easy questions and built up to the really hard ones
      3. You probably won't get it straight away, that's normal so don't beat yourself up. Ask help from your teacher to go through questions step by step until you get it. You can also find walkthroughs of different topics on TH-cam which are also super helpful. If you use madasmaths, there's a walkthrough sheet that goes through each question step by step.
      4. LEARN YOUR FORMULAE. You get a formula sheet in the exam, but you'll need to memorise a lot of formula also, especially in year two trig.

    Awesome video - I think practice for math is key, especially if you're new to it. I'm currently in my undergrad, and it wasn't until my second semester of calculus that I started becoming familiar with the process of solving questions, and struggling less with concepts - especially coming from a very hectic high school experience, where I was constantly moving states and didn't have a consistent education - especially math exposure- for years.

    Difficulty in math can stem from various factors, such as learning style, mindset, or gaps in foundational knowledge. Identifying specific challenges and seeking targeted assistance, like tutoring or alternative learning approaches, can be helpful. Remember, everyone has unique strengths, and improvement is often achievable with the right support and mindset.

    I can totally relate to the one anecdote here (1:35) in which she recites the scores on her exam. Of all the exams I took in my undergraduate years, I can only recall one specific score: the 37 I got on my first physical chemistry exam (covering thermodynamics). As an A student with an excellent GPA, the only specific score I remember 47 years later was the disaster!

    Thank you so much for this video! I just graduated High School and want to study physics but my grades in math were pretty bad. I also always wondered why it was so easy for me in the beginning but became so different for me in High School. Many people have told me the same when talking about this subject, things like ''Some people are just bad at math'' and I'd think nothing special about it. No one really knew how to explain it to me.
    It's really motivating to hear your story and that you have majored in Math! I will apply the methods and improve.
    Now I know how I'll approach math in university with greater confidence and better grades, so thanks :)

    3:38 resembles the algorithm for solving rubik's cubes with a "meet in the middle" approach, from both the starting problem state looking for transformation steps towards the solution, and also from the solution looking for the reverse transformation steps towards the initial problem state.

    @Silver-cu5up ปีที่แล้ว +2

    As a mathlete, this is exactly how it's supposed to be done!! When approaching a problem, I'll give myself some time to try to approach it; letting all my curiosities flow out until I either hit a dead end or actually solve it. Let's say if I get stuck. If I don't come up with an idea for the next 2-3 minutes, I look at the solution to understand where the sneaky trick lies.
    This works effectively all the time for me and it's not a waste of time spending 1-2 hours on one problem. You apply the concept again by yourself, recalling tricks and remembering your mistakes.

    Holy carrot! This video for some reason made so much more sense to me and made me introspect in retrospect about the path I chose, where I'd be stuck with problems and not just in Maths but in general science like chem, phy, bio as well, where I'd try to solve it myself anyhow I can without taking much help and study and try to figure out only to keep getting stuck in each step and get frustrated but still do it and at the end wasting a lot of time only to find sometimes I didn't even get the answer. This path, however, isn't the best when you're sitting for competitive exams where you're supposed to be more fast, more efficient and more overall knowledge of everything rather than be stuck trying to get in-depth knowledge of/about one thing (which is the path I took). No regrets though, thank you for making this video, now I know what I didn't do and what should be done to crack those exams. I just wrote this comment to talk to myself and express a bit of my introspection and also boost you in the YT algorithm as a vote of thanks. You're really beautiful too hehe

    throughout the middle school i was really bad at maths, didn't have a clue about what the teacher was writing on the board. then in my last year of middle school i started studying maths by myself, tried to understand the chapters before the teacher taught them in class. you have to thoroughly read the theory and try to solve the questions on your own. this way when the teacher goes through the chapter in class it doesn't go all over your head and actually helps you stay ahead of the class.

Thankfully, because I had a good maths teacher and i was determined to try i improved a bit in class. What mainly helped me though is my dad who's a maths teacher would sit with me and help me through my homework. Im hoping i get a good maths teacher this year but if not atleast I have my dad! Anyways, my point is that you dont need a parent with a degree in this to help you, going over the steps in the problems in practices really does help!

My nightmare began after that. I became weak in maths and afraid of the subject. My performance became so bad that I just used to get passing marks later on. In my college I decided to leave maths and do pharmacy. As a result now I don’t earn much as compared to those who have done their engineering despite working for long hours in pharma consulting. I regret leaving maths. However then nobody understood me and neither helped me
