You don’t want to go from getting straight A’s in every math class you’ve ever taken, getting into the habit of not studying or practicing the skills to then taking a difficult math class and getting a 73% the first semester because you have no study habits whatsoever

yeah

wdym by studying

learning new stuff or practicing questions

bc i do practicing questions

Most math teachers use a textbook and assign “do the even problems” in something like that for a given interval

Get into the habit of doing every problem in that interval

Also get into the habit of showing every little piece of work you use to get an answer

ok

ill make sure 2 do that

Yeah it's better to do a few questions multiple times than all at once

Ask questions too

Literally whenever you don’t understand the slightest thing

Ask

Your teacher will see you’re putting in the initiative to learn the material

And your classmates will benefit from getting another explanation of the concept, so they won’t mind

well usually it ends up making people think that your stupid

and you need things said twice

It’s only the “smart” kids who think they’re better than you who actually think that, and then four years down the line when they’re struggling in classes they used to be good at, they’ll wish they had your confidence to ask questions

Believe me, you’re only hurting yourself by not asking questions

And everyone will think better of you for being brave enough to interrupt the teacher to ask a question, even the teacher

I recomend asking the other students for help

pro tip: get everyone in the class into a discord server and bam

free knowledge farm

yup

You should also make sure the teacher doesn’t join. I remember a professor from my school joined a snapchat group and caught a ton of people cheating

need help factorizing this:

its a revision from last year's math (new quad)

Square root the first and last terms I think.

So 5x + 40xy + 4y.

ok

I'm not sure

I'm still in Al2

i'll try that

ya

You have to do something to the 40xy

I just don't know what

How to recognize a perfect square trinomial:

• It has three terms

• Two of its terms are perfect squares themselves

• The remaining term is twice the product of the square roots of the other two terms

(5x + 4y)^2

right i'm remembering everything now

Apparently this is how they teach 4th graders to do multiplication now
