Study Homework Habits
How to Score an 'A' in Math :
(Develop Strong Study & Homework Habits)

If you Study & Practise on the same day that you had your Math class lesson, the information will be fresher in your mind.  You'll also be able to stay on top of the work more easily.
.
There is No shortcut to excel in Math !  You must Do the Practice exercise at home.  You may not have to turn them in, but Practice & Applications exercises can help you test your understanding of a Concept or Formula. 
.
Some people say there're few ways to “Learn Math”.. such as memorizing the formulas and learning how to apply them.  But the best Learning Strategy is to :
THINK  &  UNDERSTAND..   Don’t just memorize.

*  Set realistic but incremental challenging goals over set intervals of time  eg. aim for  65%,  70%,  75%,  80%..   Depending on student's capability, we should not stress him/ her to jump by 2 grades within a short period of time..!
.
*  Praise the students for their tangible Efforts to achieve any small progress, especially when they have failed Math in previous assessment..!  Depending on the student's capability, it will take time to show good significant progress..
.
*  Generally for majority of students, they need to Practise Math about 3 times (3) a week which amounts to a total of about 6 hours inclusive of their school Math homework and/ or my assigned homework..  However in majority of cases, I only see the students Once a week..!  Therefore it's important to involve the Parents to gently Motivate their teenage children to be diligent in their Math Practice homework !  After all, we're the stakeholders working together to ensure your children's Success..!
