Question

Does math get easier? I am going into Algebra 1 and i am so bad at math. I try to study and study and sudy but nothing makes sense and i feel stupid. Tips?

Answer 1

Well if you need additional help, you could use websites that post videos on specific Algebraic concepts such as khanacademy.com.

Answer 2

Thank you!

Answer 3

yw ;)

Answer 4

I find PatrickJMT to be very good also. he does youtube videos and has a site PatrickJMT.com ... However he usually does higher math classes he does have some algebra it looks like... as you can see, his video selection is quite LARGE

Answer 5

any site for class IX study material for free

Answer 6

any1 knows ?

Answer 7

class IX? whtat is that

Answer 8

class IX means grade 9th

Answer 9

As long as you write down the notes "neatly" that you are being given in class, you should be fine. Math is a subject where you have to study before a test. If you need any help with a lesson or something you don't understand you can use websites like KhanAcademy but you also have OpenStudy!

Answer 10

what is the class studying... check that site i posted earlier PatrickJMT... he has all tons of stuff

Answer 11

calc linear algebra trig, college algebra

Answer 12

regular algebra

Answer 13

no there is not for grade 9th

Answer 14

kushashwa.. did you go to the site?

Answer 15

Also with math, you have to LEARN to like the subject. You have to bring interest in learning it. If you dont bring that with you, then it will be harder for you to comphrehend the information..you'll start off with frustration.

Answer 16

if i rember right, basic linear equations is algebra

Answer 17

yes it is

Answer 18

and isn't that basically what hey teach in like 9th grade.. that and trig

Answer 19

Wouldn't trig be considered the end of Geometry? Thats when I learned it

Answer 20

ehh trig is highly based off of triangle based geometry

Answer 21

so like law of sines and stuff you should have went a little bit over in geometry

Answer 22

Yeah I didn't find sin and cos that hard of a concept..

Answer 23

geometry was proofs and agles a lot of it

Answer 24

it really isn't a hard concept.

Answer 25

Yeah But I enjoyed alegbra better

Answer 26

haha well you need both if you plan on going high into math

Answer 27

Yeah but most math concepts use the basics of algebra rather than Geometry.

Answer 28

not necessarily

Answer 29

a lot of stuff in calc 1 can be based off of A^2+b^2=c^2 which is geometry/trig

Answer 30

however you still need your algebra to solve it =]

Answer 31

but we do learn that in Algebra as well.

Answer 32

Haha correct.

Answer 33

yeah in order to solve you need algebra but in order to understand what essentially they are doing, you need your trig

Answer 34

algebra to solve, both in order to fuly understand

Answer 35

I find a lot of times going how'd they get this formula because i didn't remember the stuff behind it

Answer 36

Lol yes..everything in math's connected..technically if your weaker at one point it could affect the rest of the concepts..But its not like anyone can master each concept in math perfectly as well.

Answer 37

true but it should be your goal to master as much if you want to go higher in math, like a math major or something.

Answer 38

hence why i'm here. Trying to remember all the stuff so that i can aply for tutoring next semester at my school. I was already asked to do it this semester coming up but i just don't believe that I'm ready to simply be able to answer every question that comes at me

Answer 39

Apparently those who aren't perfect in math..wouldn't neccessarily want to go for a higher major in Math..

Hmm thats interesting..keep it up ;) gud luck

Answer 40

I'm not quite nderstanding what you are getting at. Are you implying that people that aren't perfect in math should not try to achieve higher classes? I'm simply saying that in order to understand higher classes, you need to understand the fundamentals, not necessarily perfect them

Answer 41

No. I am implying that most people would not want to go for further studies in Math when their not interested in it..Portion of this loss of interest in Math COULD be based on how much they can understand and accumulate its concepts.

Answer 42

and as fundamentals i mean manipulations (Especially in calculus)... True, but as you can see emgracie97 seems to want to understand it even though she doesn't grasp it quite well. It depends on how well you take to not understanding something. Some people do say " THIS STUFF IS STUPID" while others have no idea what is going on yet "They really want to understand it"

Answer 43

Yes its true. I know students who would try to study and study to simply get math into their brains. They want to acquire their interest towards math through what they score on tests as well. There are always two sides: 1) People who have a desire to learn which could sometimes be because of the constant pressure of having good grades and scoring high OR 2) Ones who don't care at all, and think the concepts are useless.

Answer 44

Like I was telling JimThompson earlier, I asked my teacher and SI weeks ago on how they derived the equation. The SI said I wouldn't worry about that, but it confused me and i simply continued to try to fully understand it

Answer 45

I could have just went with the SI and said o well i'll just do the math

Answer 46

Or 3) People out of curiosity.

Answer 47

I used to be the person who just went by math classes because i could do the math and not understand the reasons... now i'm playing catchup

Answer 48

Lol..Well it depends on if you WANT to know the reasons..Factor of curiosity..

Answer 49

It also takes a good tutor to understand some concepts "Think of washermethod as a donut" hahahh

Answer 50

LOL true :P If you understand the concept..then only you can teach it
