o   Take math problems one step at a time.

o   Do your math homework every day. Falling behind will make it that much harder.

o   Ask for help and study with friends if you are having problems understanding a concept.

o   The first point to understand is the philosophy and science of decision – hoe to make decisions on time. The most successful person is that person who knows how to decide on time. There are many extraordinarily brilliant people who understand things very quickly, but when the time comes to make a decision, when an opportunity comes, they withdraw and are not able to act. They do not know how to decide.

· Give your teacher your full attention and concentrate on what is being said.

· Relate the topic to what you already know and listen for main ideas.

· Make eye contact with your teacher and take notes.

Some experts say the difference between good students and poor students isn’t mainly ability. Instead, it’s how students organize themselves to use their abilities. A little organization can produce amazing results!

Get Organized:

ü     Have a homework agenda or scribbler to keep track of your assignments, and always carry it.

ü     Ask the teacher for some outside help when the classroom explanation is not adequate for you.

ü     Use scribblers to put your notes in, and keep them organized.

ü     Have phone numbers for classmates, especially of one who will be your “homework buddy”. This is someone in your class who collects hand-outs and assignments for you when you are absent from school. You can borrow your buddy’s notes when you return to school, and you can do the same for this friend.

ü     Ask questions when you are unsure of something.

ü     Pay attention in class as it is very easy to let your mind wander. Take notes, concentrate on what is being said; it will be easier to absorb the information being presented.

ü     Keep your bookshelf, desk, and kitbag neat.

ü     Be prepared for each class, bringing the materials you need to class (including pencil and paper).

If you make the right actions and decisions with yourself, you should make right actions and decisions with everything else. For example “Make sure you love yourself, before you die within.”
