| Test taking strategies
(top) |
| |
-Read read read -Check check check
-Dealing with Test Anxiety: most people who really know what they are doing don't have paralyzing or
debilitating test anxiety, so practice practice practice, and work on the problems and ask questions until you
know what you are doing.
-approach every question/problem as if it is a test problem... this will help get you prepared for the
importance of getting it correct.
-study (Studying Strategies): practice, practice, practice; do more problems... get them from Mr. Manns,
Mr. Manns website, the internet, text book, old worksheets, other math teachers, make some up yourself
(potentially dangerous) or have friends make them up

-Respect:
- do not touch other people or other people's stuff
- when you come to class expect that others are here to learn; don't interrupt their learning
-Treat people the way you want to be treated.
-however, understand that acceptable classroom/public behavior is possibly different from your normal
behavior
-Desks - try not to move desks... if you do move them return them back to where they were before you leave
class.
-Mr. Manns' space - because Mr. Manns has an atypical organizational system, please stay out of his desk
space.
-Writing - be as legible as possible - you can't be correct if no one can read what your answer or work is.

| Strategies for Success
(top) |
| |
-Attendance
*if you are not in class you will miss out on best opportunity to learn the lessons
*being in class puts you in the best position to learn, get higher grades, and to understand
-Confidence
*ironically, the easiest way to be confident is to already be successful in math.
*However, it is hard to be good if you don't believe you can be good
-Do all work
*class work, homework, lab work, projects, quizzes, tests, extra credit, etc.
-Ask questions until you understand
*it may be necessary to stay after or get help outside of class
-Think on your own, and try to MAKE it make sense
*makes sense of what the teacher is saying about math
*makes sense of what your classmates are saying about math

| Distractions
(top) |
| |
if you are doing something that causes people to look at or listen to you when the teacher is teaching or
if there is a task to be done.... you are being a distraction This someone can be you too. |
| Dealing with tough problems
(top) |
| |
be confident: rarely are problems given to you before you have the tools to solve them
break it into parts
look for things you know in the problems
imagine this was a test questions that you had to get correct; put more pressure on yourself
take a break and come back to it... if you have the time.
"What would you do if you knew how to do the problem?
