How do you study for a math quiz or test??
 

Here are some helpful tips to help you study:
 

1) Create an appropriate study environment

• Choose a spot where you can concentrate with minimal interruptions
• Give yourself 30 minutes to study
• Give yourself a treat at the end of the study session
   

2) Develop a calm attitude

• Try not to become frustrated with a particular problem
• Take a break from a difficult problem, but return to it later
   

3) Develop effective memorization methods

• Flash cards may be helpful
• Have a friend or family member quiz you
   

4) Focus on the areas that need the most attention

• Copy problems from class or an assignment onto a separate paper, solve them, and then check your answer with the answer given in class
• Repeat the above step!
• Don't avoid the most difficult of problems since you can expect them on the assessment
   

5) Work with others

• Call a classmate if you are stuck
• Set up a time to work with a study buddy at home, school, or the library
• When working with someone, don't get distracted...Stay on task
   

6) Seek out the teacher for help

• Mrs. Reed is available after school every day except for Tuesdays
• Check out the web sites on the "Pre-Algebra" and "Algebra" pages for extra practice
