Study Techniques for Mathematics

• Create summary notes on the relevant topics that capture the main rules and ideas from your class work and the notes given from your teacher. Example:

• Use your summary notes to assist you with remembering ideas as you work through the chapter review exercises from your textbook, online revision tests (EdRolo or other videos) and past papers (linked on assessment task notification).
• Revisit areas from questions that you got wrong in your practice by going back to the relevant exercises in your textbook or online lessons. Complete some more practice questions in this area or email/see your teacher to ask for clarification.
• You may wish to make flash cards to help you remember concepts that you have struggled with or completed incorrectly before. Ask a friend or family member to quiz you as you memorise them.
• Attempt to complete practice tests or past papers under examination conditions with no notes, phone or laptop. Have a timer or clock to track your pace (take about 1.5 minutes for every mark in the test as an approximation).
• Mark your work when you finish or ask a teacher to look over it and provide feedback or a mark.
