still doing maths

Not much to say in regards to my studying as I’m still working on calculus. Hoping to switch to algebra on Wednesday but we’ll see. Halfway through today’s to-do list/study plan, still have to reply to an email about my job interview next week. Other than that I’m an anxious mess. Might have to do with my exam results being published next week & the oral finals too but who knows. I’m hoping for things to get better soon.

Math Tips

(Pictures are not mine)

Well, let me tell you, we all have this love-hate relationship with this subject, right? The worst part is that when you don't know what the heck is going on, so, as a girl who studied maths (2 Volumes/textbooks) on her own during the year she was homeschooled, here are some tips and tricks that I did to get an A+ in my math finals!

Get your syllabus together

In the beginning I had no damn idea what was going on and it was just confusing. I had to do the first thing I did was taken my index/table of contents and mark the chapters which i knew very well and the ones I had no clue about. And then i arranged them with the marking scheme, like which one carries the most marks etc etc and study accordingly.

Complete lessons/chapters that you already know

When you finish off the things you already know then that's gonna give you the confidence you need even if you know only 1-2 chapters, learn it throughout and make sure that you'll get the answer no matter how twisted the sum is. If you're doubtful about the whole textbook like any normal person.... Start with the easy ones. (I know there are literally really no "easy" chapters, spare me)

Harder chapters need hard work

Most chapters like Trigonometry proofs, Geometry proofs, Algebra, Graphs, Mensuration and Calculus etc need more than minimum effort but here's a trick, what is the common thing in this? Yes, they're all formulae and theorem based which goes to my next point. These chapters are completely based on how much you've understood your basics.

Formulae and theorem cheatsheets

Make a list of all formulae and the theorem used in the book, write them chapter wise and no printouts or digital notes. Take a paper and write it down, no excuses. It helps you while you're practicing, revising and in the last minute review, it helped me damn much. Remember, maths is a sport. The basic formulae must come to you like reflexes.

YouTube is your best friend.

For every single chapter, go and watch the basics and how a sum is done step by step. A recommendation for this is Organic Chemistry Tutor who literally is one of the reasons i passed. He has videos from basic geometry, trigonometry, statistics to calculus. Search for your own YouTubers and be clear with concepts.

Math is fully memorization

Memorize formulae and theorems with the back of your hand, you should be able to recall them within seconds. Be thorough.

Memorize basic math values (if calculator isn't allowed)

Do this if you have a majority of chapters like Statistics, Mensuration, Profit/loss calculation etc, where large numbers are concerned. Memorize the first 10 square, cube, decimal and multiplication values. It may be dry but there are literally songs available for these things, I'm serious, i learnt the first 10 cube roots by listening to Senorita xD Search for rhymes and they'll definitely be many!!

Work it out!!!!!!

Can't stress this enough, atleast 30-40 mins is the minimum for maths. I'm serious, work out each sum, don't ever think it's a waste, you'll see the results. Practice makes perfect. Work out every single sum, from examples to exercise ones cause let's be honest, our examiners love to take problems from every nook and cranny of the book.

Whiteboard method

So, I made this up and it actually works, if you have a whiteboard or anything else, once you completed a chapter, take a random page and whatever sums you have on those two pages, you need to complete within a given time limit. It helps you to identify your weak points and where the hell you're losing both time and effort and not to mention that it gives you confidence boost up.

Hope this helps :))

After 8 minutes of utter anger and 6 minutes of reflection I realised something:

My problem isn’t the counting.

It is word problems.

Like I had a meltdown with all those dice, cards, digits and lists of letters, but it all disappeared when I encountered the problem with mathematical symbols. Very easy proof, I haven’t lost any calories while writing it. Nice, right?

Fuck word problems, I’m going to make some tea and add whiskey in it to wind down

Did biology and maths revision.

Did a past paper for maths got 66% I'm so cooked 🥀

Isagi pin I made :)

Exams are currently going well

Good day…

⬆️from a few days ago, can you tell I’ve been putting off posting? :P

Hello my lovely Jublies, here’s what I’ve been up to:

Finished all types of study planning and have been following it for 3 days now

Feel a little more hopefully gcse wise

Feel ready to start posting again (god knows nobody’s gonna see this as engagement has been so low, my fault lol)

Finishing any notes/flash cards so I can actually study with them

Today I have done:

3h 49 min in total (using study bunny to track)

Corbett 5 a day

Some maths (algebra)

Chemistry on cognito and past paper questions on bonding

English language paper 1, questions 2 and 3

Geography rivers, just some reading

What I’m hoping to do:

Some flash cards (both making and revising)

Some reading of geography and history

Anyways if you have made it to here I would like to thank you for reading, and have a lovely rest of your day, it’s sunny ☀️!!

Signing off~

A'ight, continuing this from my main. I'm already gunna be studying Calc today, but here's some more goals for you guys:

If this post gets:

10 notes: I will do my engineering assignment

20 notes: I will PROPERLY learn mathematical induction and try my best to teach it to you guys in the most deranged way I can

30 notes: Idk... I'll read ahead in Calculus so I don't fail it for the 3rd time :/

40 notes: I'll finally overcome my anxiety, and tell that really cool person with dope hair in my Algebra class that their hair is dope

50 notes: I'll draw the previous person

100 notes: I'll draw my kooky Algebra professor for you guys (He's great)
