How to learn math well
Yang Mingqiu, a senior math teacher in Zhongshan Shiming Middle School.
Edgar faure, a well-known social activist and Director-General of UNESCO, pointed out in his book Learn to Live that the future illiteracy not only refers to those who can't read, but also includes those who can't learn. Bill Gates, president of Microsoft, also said: In the future world, wealth first depends on people's ability to learn and innovate ... For those who have the ability to learn and innovate, the new era is a world full of opportunities and hopes. The words of these two famous figures tell us that with the coming of the information age in 2 1 century, the ability of learning and innovation will become the most important condition for people's survival and development. Today's middle school students will show their talents in the 2 1 century. In order to meet the challenge of 2 1 century, we should not only improve our scientific knowledge, but also learn the methods of learning and research step by step to improve our learning and innovation ability.
Mathematics is one of the most important subjects in the middle school curriculum. Learning mathematics well is a problem that most students are very concerned about. So how can we learn math well?
First of all, you should be interested in learning mathematics. More than 2,000 years ago, Confucius said, "Knowing is not as good as being kind, and being kind is not as good as being happy." The "good" and "happy" here are willing to learn, love learning and have interest in learning. Einstein, a world-famous great scientist and founder of the theory of relativity, also said: "In school and life, the most important motivation for work is the fun at work." The fun of learning lies in the initiative and enthusiasm of learning. We often see some students burying themselves in reading and thinking for a long time in order to find a mathematical concept. In order to solve a math problem, forget all about eating and sleeping. First of all, because they are interested in mathematics study and research, it is hard to imagine that they are not interested in mathematics. People who have a headache when they see math problems can learn math well. To cultivate their interest in learning mathematics, we must first understand the importance of learning mathematics. Mathematics, known as the queen of science, is an essential tool for learning and applying scientific knowledge. It can be said that without mathematics, it is impossible to learn other subjects well; Secondly, we should have the spirit of learning and the tenacity to learn well. In the process of in-depth study, we can appreciate the mystery of mathematics and the joy of learning mathematics to succeed. If you persist for a long time, you will naturally have a strong interest in mathematics and arouse your high consciousness and enthusiasm in learning mathematics well.
With the interest and enthusiasm in learning mathematics, we should learn mathematics well, pay attention to learning methods and develop good study habits.
Knowledge is the foundation of ability, so we should learn basic knowledge well. The learning of basic mathematics knowledge includes three aspects: concept learning, theorem and formula learning and problem-solving learning. To learn a mathematical concept, we should be good at grasping its essential attribute, which is different from other concepts; To learn theorem formulas, we should firmly grasp the internal relationship of theorem directions, grasp the applicable scope and types of theorem formulas, and skillfully use these theorem formulas. Solving mathematical problems is actually solving contradictions on the basis of mastering concepts and theorems and formulas, and completing the transformation from "unknown" to "known". We should focus on learning various transformation methods and cultivate transformation ability. In short, in the study of basic mathematics knowledge, we should pay attention to grasping the overall essence of knowledge, understanding its laws and essence, forming a closely related overall understanding system, and promoting the mutual migration and transformation among various forms. At the same time, we should also pay attention to people's ways, means and strategies to solve problems in the process of knowledge formation, and take mathematical ideas and methods as guidance everywhere, which is what we want to learn most when learning knowledge.
Mathematical thinking method is a bridge to transform knowledge and skills into abilities, and it is a powerful pillar in mathematical structure. In middle school mathematics textbooks, there are ideas such as function, equation, combination of numbers and shapes, logical division, equivalent transformation, analogy induction and so on. This paper introduces the matching method, elimination method, method of substitution, undetermined coefficient method, reduction to absurdity, mathematical induction and so on. While learning math well, we should also learn from others.
In mathematics learning, we should pay special attention to the cultivation of the ability to solve practical problems by using mathematical knowledge. The socialization trend of mathematics makes the slogan of "popular mathematics" sweep the world. Some people think that future jobs are for those who are ready to study mathematics. "Preparing for mathematics" here not only refers to understanding mathematical theory, but also refers to learning mathematical ideas and using mathematical knowledge flexibly to solve practical problems. To cultivate mathematics application ability, we must first form the habit of mathematizing practical problems; Secondly, we should master the general method of mathematizing practical problems, that is, the method of establishing mathematical models. At the same time, we should strengthen the connection between mathematics and other disciplines. In addition to the connection with traditional disciplines such as physics and chemistry, we can also properly understand the application of mathematics in economy, management and industry.
If we study mathematics knowledge and skills in a down-to-earth manner, firmly grasp mathematical ideas and methods, and flexibly apply them to solving practical problems, then we are on the road to success in mathematics learning.
How to learn math well 1
Mathematics is one of the compulsory subjects, so we should study it seriously from the first day of junior high school. So, how can we learn math well? Introduce several methods for your reference:
First, pay attention to the lecture in class and review it in time after class.
The acceptance of new knowledge and the cultivation of mathematical ability are mainly carried out in the classroom, so we should pay attention to the learning efficiency in the classroom and seek correct learning methods. In class, you should keep up with the teacher's ideas, actively explore thinking, predict the next steps, and compare your own problem-solving ideas with what the teacher said. In particular, we should do a good job in learning basic knowledge and skills, and review them in time after class, leaving no doubt. First of all, we should recall the knowledge points the teacher said before doing various exercises, and correctly master the reasoning process of various formulas. If we are not clear, we should try our best to recall them instead of turning to the book immediately. In a sense, you should not create a learning way of asking questions if you don't understand. For some problems, because of their unclear thinking, it is difficult to solve them at the moment. Let yourself calm down and analyze the problems carefully and try to solve them by yourself. At every learning stage, we should sort out and summarize, and combine the points, lines and surfaces of knowledge into a knowledge network and bring it into our own knowledge system.
Second, do more questions appropriately and develop good problem-solving habits.
If you want to learn math well, it is inevitable to do more problems, and you should be familiar with the problem-solving ideas of various questions. At the beginning, we should start with the basic problems, take the exercises in the textbook as the standard, lay a good foundation repeatedly, and then find some extracurricular exercises to help broaden our thinking, improve our ability to analyze and solve problems, and master the general rules of solving problems. For some error-prone topics, you can prepare a set of wrong questions, write your own problem-solving ideas and correct problem-solving processes, and compare them to find out your own mistakes so as to correct them in time. We should develop good problem-solving habits at ordinary times. Let your energy be highly concentrated, make your brain excited, think quickly, enter the best state, and use it freely in the exam. Practice has proved that at the critical moment, your problem-solving habit is no different from your usual practice. If you are careless and careless when solving problems, it is often exposed in the big exam, so it is very important to develop good problem-solving habits at ordinary times.
Third, adjust the mentality and treat the exam correctly.
First of all, we should focus on basic knowledge, basic skills and basic methods, because most of the exams are basic topics. For those difficult and comprehensive topics, we should seriously think about them, try our best to sort them out, and then summarize them after finishing the questions. Adjust your mentality, let yourself calm down at any time, think in an orderly way, and overcome impetuous emotions. In particular, we should have confidence in ourselves and always encourage ourselves. No one can beat me except yourself. If you don't beat yourself, no one can beat my pride.
Be prepared before the exam, practice routine questions, spread your own ideas, and avoid improving the speed of solving problems on the premise of ensuring the correct rate before the exam. For some easy basic questions, you should have a 12 grasp and get full marks; For some difficult questions, you should also try to score, learn to score hard in the exam, and make your level normal or even extraordinary.
It can be seen that if you want to learn mathematics well, you must find a suitable learning method, understand the characteristics of mathematics and let yourself enter the vast world of mathematics.
How to learn math well II
To learn mathematics well, senior high school students must solve two problems: one is to understand the problem; The second is the method.
Some students think that learning to teach well is to cope with the senior high school entrance examination, because mathematics accounts for a large proportion; Some students think that learning mathematics well is to lay a good foundation for further study of related majors. These understandings are reasonable, but not comprehensive enough. In fact, the more important purpose of learning and teaching is to accept the influence of mathematical thought and spirit and improve their own thinking quality and scientific literacy. If so, they will benefit for life. A leader once told me that the work report drafted by his liberal arts secretary was not satisfactory, because it was flashy and lacked logic, so he had to write it himself. It can be seen that even if you are engaged in secretarial work in the future, you must have strong scientific thinking ability, and learning mathematics is the best thinking gymnastics. Some senior one students feel that they have just graduated from junior high school, and there are still three years before their next graduation. They can breathe a sigh of relief first, and it is not too late to wait until they are in senior two and senior three. They even regard it as a "successful" experience to "relax first and then tighten" in primary and junior high schools. As we all know, first of all, at present, the teaching arrangement of senior high school mathematics is to finish three years' courses in two years, and the senior three is engaged in general review, so the teaching progress is very tight; Second, the most important and difficult content of high school mathematics (such as function and algebra) is in Grade One. Once these contents are not learned well, it will be difficult for the whole high school mathematics to learn well. Therefore, we must pay close attention to it at the beginning, even if we are slightly relaxed subconsciously, it will weaken our learning perseverance and affect the learning effect.
As for the emphasis on learning methods, each student can choose a suitable learning method according to his own foundation, study habits and intellectual characteristics. Here, I mainly put forward some points according to the characteristics of the textbook for your reference.
L, pay attention to the understanding of mathematical concepts. The biggest difference between high school mathematics and junior high school mathematics is that there are many concepts and abstractions, and the "taste" of learning is very different from the past. The method of solving problems usually comes from the concept itself. When learning a concept, it is not enough to know its literal meaning, but also to understand its hidden deep meaning and master various equivalent expressions. For example, why the images of functions y=f(x) and y=f- 1(x) are symmetrical about the straight line y = x, but the images of y=f(x) and x=f- 1(y) are the same; Another example is why when f (x-l) = f (1-x), the image of function y=f(x) is symmetrical about y axis, while the images of y = f (x-l) and y = f (1-x) are symmetrical about the straight line x = 1.
2' Learning solid geometry requires good spatial imagination, and there are two ways to cultivate spatial imagination: one is to draw pictures frequently; Second, the self-made model is helpful for imagination. For example, the model with four right-angled triangular pyramids is much more seen and thought than the exercises. But in the end, it is necessary to reach the realm that can be imagined without relying on the model.
3. When learning analytic geometry, don't treat it as algebra, just don't draw it. The correct way is to calculate while drawing, and try to calculate in drawing.
On the basis of personal study, it is also a good learning method to invite several students of the same level to discuss together, which can often solve problems more thoroughly and benefit everyone.
Answer one, get one free:
How to be the first in learning?
Learning first, every student can do it. There are two main reasons for not getting the first place in the exam: one is that the lifestyle and learning methods are incorrect, and the other is that there is no strong perseverance. Perseverance is the first important thing here, and learning methods are the second important. In real life, more than 70% of students in China are the first, but they are not the most persistent, or their learning methods and lifestyles are not the best. They may be number one today, but they won't be tomorrow. In other words, if you study and exercise according to the first method, you will generally surpass the existing first method.
Is it necessary to work hard for the brilliant first place? It is difficult because "cultivating strong perseverance" is the most difficult job in the world. Only with strong perseverance can we become the first. Of course, the correct lifestyle and learning methods are also particularly important. What is strong perseverance here? As long as you can follow the following requirements and keep records every day for one semester, one year and three years, then your perseverance is enough to meet the first requirement. I'm afraid there will be a gap between you in this exercise. Wind and rain, mood, illness, housework and so on are not reasons for you to stop exercising. You should remember that studying hard is the most important thing in your student life, and nothing is more important than it. In addition to strong perseverance, correct learning methods and lifestyles are also important.
Everyone can get the first place in the exam. The students who got the first place in the exam before are not necessarily smarter than you, and there are not necessarily more brain cells than you. Didn't Edison say that "genius is 99% perspiration and 1% inspiration"? ! So you have to go through the psychological barrier first, that is to say, you have to firmly believe that you will succeed, and you will definitely surpass the existing first, including yourself who is now the first.
Second, you should exercise every day. Without good health, you can't do anything well, even if you do it occasionally, it won't last long. Exercise for about 30 minutes every day and insist on it every day. There are various forms of exercise, such as running, playing table tennis, playing basketball, push-ups, standing long jump and so on. Some students have great face. They can't run when they see others. They are afraid to run by themselves. If others see it, it will be embarrassing. That is wrong. What is really embarrassing is that they have worked hard for several years and failed to get into college, but after several years of college, they will be laid off. If you can't support yourself in the future, it will be really embarrassing.
Third, we should have a correct attitude towards learning. Before each class, you must preview what the teacher wants to say, mark what you don't understand and can't, and listen carefully when the teacher speaks. If the teacher doesn't know after speaking, be sure to ask the teacher again until you understand. When a question can't be answered after two or three times, ordinary students are embarrassed to ask. Don't do this. Teachers like the character of "Don't give up if you don't know". Listen carefully, think carefully and take notes in class. When taking notes, you must be clear, because the value of notes is more than that of textbooks, and future review mainly depends on it.
The first thing after class is not to do homework, but to learn the knowledge points in notes and textbooks first. The contents of notes must be memorized. This will greatly improve the speed of your homework, which is often said, "sharpen your knife and don't miss the woodcutter." When you do your homework, you should think independently. If you really can't solve the problem, discuss it with your classmates and teachers. When you ask your classmates, don't ask what the result of this problem is, but ask "how to do this problem?" "What is the title of this road?"
Fourth, correctly face mistakes and failures. When you don't learn some knowledge in class, when you make mistakes in practice or do poorly in exams, you should neither complain nor be discouraged. You have to face up to the reality that you don't want. It doesn't matter if you haven't studied it. Write this knowledge in your memo, then ask your classmates and teachers, and then write the correct explanation or result on other pages. The same is true of wrong questions. Aren't there many wrong questions when you fail the exam? The correct way is to copy the original question into the memo, learn the correct method, and write the practice and results on other pages. If you can pay attention to the matters needing attention in doing this kind of problems, your learning efficiency will be improved by 30%-60%. The reason why the answers or explanations are written on other pages is to think about the understanding and explanation of the knowledge points next time you look at the knowledge points or wrong questions, and then practice the exercises and answers of the questions. Mistakes and failures are not terrible. As long as you can face them squarely, everything will be the driving force for your success.
Fifth, bookkeeping. You must keep an account book for your study. Write it down when you do well, and write it down when you do wrong (note: only the title of today's mistake is "memo" ×× page× title). When did you learn English after class and keep good records? When did you learn physics? Write it down. Record every minute of exercise and study in life in your own account book, and record the correct number, wrong number and wrong number (page number on the memo) in the account book one by one. Write down all the knowledge you learn every day in your account book, so that you can check whether you really have mastered these knowledge points tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. You must learn and master what you have spent several days in books.
The ledger records every detail of your study and exercise. In this way, it is recorded that in school life, there are about 32 pages of paper every day, and there may be two pages of 32 papers when you are not in school. Don't stop on weekdays and holidays. Accumulate your account day after day, which is the first way you take.
Although in today's quality education, the school is not ranked second, but learning achievement is the goal of our efforts, the necessary condition for us to enter a higher-level school, and the capital for us to do everything well after entering the society. Students, strive for the first place. If you follow the above requirements year after year, you are the first.
If everyone does this, even if you can't win the first place, you must be an excellent student in China, because most students in China don't have such perseverance, such a good learning method and lifestyle. Students, strive for a better tomorrow. ..
The following are some learning experiences of Grade Two students:
Hello, classmates! On behalf of all the teachers and big brothers and sisters in Grade Two, I warmly welcome you to study in No.1 Middle School! Speaking of learning, I want to ask a question first: Students, do you want to learn math well in junior high school? -Think about it! Very good!
In the new school year, students bid farewell to primary school, step into junior high school and enter a new starting point! When we open new textbooks and meet new learning tasks, I believe many students are full of confidence and secretly strive to learn junior high school mathematics well and strive for excellent results, because mathematics is an important basic course! So how can we learn junior high school mathematics well?
As we know, there should be four steps to determine mathematics academic performance, namely: class ladder, preview ladder, review ladder and homework ladder. Classroom is the most important part of the whole learning process. Preview, review and homework are all around the classroom. All successful learners have the same experience, that is, having a good class, "benefiting from the class and improving the quality". Learning to attend classes is the key to learning well, and it is also the key to improving yourself and growing up.
Let's listen to an excellent student's good experience of making full use of classroom to improve learning quality. Forty-five minutes in class is fair to everyone. However, after a class, the students' gains are different, sometimes even very different. I think one of the important reasons is the different understanding and attitude towards 45 minutes of class. Some students think that 45 minutes in class mainly depends on the teacher, and the key is to study hard after class. Therefore, they often adopt passive learning methods within 45 minutes of class. On the surface, these students seem to be working hard. Every minute after class, they hold on tight and don't even take part in normal sports activities. However, as long as you observe carefully, you will find that their learning efficiency is very low. Because your self-study ability is still very poor, but the teacher has rich teaching experience, ignoring the 45 minutes in class and focusing on extracurricular learning is often not worth the candle. I know this myself. I didn't pay much attention to the 45 minutes of class before. I previewed the text before class and felt I understood everything. I often skip classes in class. As a result, academic performance is always unsatisfactory. Later, I corrected my mistakes, carefully analyzed every question the teacher said in class, seriously thought about it, and actively raised my hand to speak. After a class, the influence on the content of the class is particularly profound, and the academic performance has also been significantly improved.
At this point, the students must have asked: how can we have a good class? On the premise of improving, please look at how your classroom behavior is done.
First, have you put forward more reasons, full of curiosity and desire to learn?
Second, do you think positively about knowledge, do you have "own" and "unique" understanding, and do you learn knowledge more solidly, systematically and more conducive to your own mastery?
Third, did you actively discuss and speak, participate more extensively and consciously, cultivate your own ability and develop the spirit of cooperation?
Fourth, are you more interested in what you have learned and have a stronger curiosity and pursuit of learning?
5. Do you have a deeper view and feeling about yourself and everything around you, have more confidence in your innovation and development, and form a good study habit and an upward personality?
If there is, say it! If not, how to improve the class level? Please note the following points:
1, clear the meaning of class, determined to change yourself.
2. Prepare lessons to improve class efficiency.
(1) Pay attention to the rules of work and rest.
One, to ensure sleep, improve the quality of sleep, 8- 10 hours a day, so to achieve "four wants and four don't":
Fourth, teenagers should sleep around 10 at night. Insist on sleeping at the same time every day; Wash feet with hot water before going to bed; Turn off the lights if you want to lie down and sleep with your eyes closed.
Four don't: don't drink strong tea and coffee before going to bed; Don't do strenuous exercise before going to bed; Don't watch too exciting TV or emotional novels or letters before going to bed; Don't do intense study or intense thinking within half an hour before going to bed.
Second, pay attention to the break.
② Reasonable nutrition and good breakfast.
(3) Pay attention to physical exercise and develop exercise habits. First, do a good job in class exercises and work hard. It is good for keeping fit and refreshing. Second, good physical education class. Third, arrange physical exercise by yourself. In short, we should pay attention to exercise, develop exercise habits, and maintain strong learning strength and energy.
3. Think positively and learn to think.
In the final analysis, the question of learning is whether to think positively or not. Thinking with your heart is an important task and activity in class.
① Work hard on "understanding" and lay a good foundation. The purpose of learning is not to use your brain as a "pocket" for holding knowledge, but to understand and use knowledge. First of all, we must understand the concept. Understanding mathematical concepts is one of the most basic and important tasks in learning. The main problem in learning mathematical concepts is to recite only the definitions of concepts, which is the main reason for poor academic performance. Learning the concept is mainly to understand how this concept came from. What does this mean? What does this mean? What is the scope of application of this concept? The deeper you think, the more specific you are. Second, we must understand the laws of theorems. To understand how this theorem is established, what are its basic applications? etc
Be good at asking for help and learning from teachers in many ways. Learning concept, learning focus, learning difficulties, characteristics of learning teachers.
4. Take notes-remember ideas, points, gains and problems.
Let's first listen to how an excellent student takes notes. Taking notes is an important part of learning. If you don't take notes carefully in class, then after-class review will be irregular, and it is not easy to remember the key points of class, which is not good for learning. It is impossible to write down every word in the teacher's class. Doing so will not only be too late, but also miss what the teacher said in class. The correct method of taking notes should be to remember the key and difficult points of the teacher's class, and to record the teacher's method of analyzing problems, the main points or examples of solving problems. You can leave a blank column next to the notebook, and if necessary, you can write down the points for attention or difficulties in class. Sometimes the teacher speaks fast in class and has no time to remember. What should I do? There are two ways: first, keep it in mind for the time being, and make up for it when there is a gap; The second is to summarize what the teacher said, grasp the key points and write down the outline. This method depends on normal exercise. You can't just take notes by rote. You should take notes while understanding and write down your own thoughts or opinions so that you can digest them after class.
Through the above cases, we can easily find that taking notes is another magic weapon for us to learn junior high school mathematics well. If students handle this link well and attend classes efficiently, they will not be far from success. Because of the time, we won't talk about preview and review in detail, but when it comes to mathematics, we can't do it without doing problems. How to do the problem more effectively? I collected the experience of a student named Jiang who was awarded the title by Nanqiao Middle School in Fengxian County, Shanghai, and it is worth learning. She wrote in the article "Do more questions, do it well without doing it":
Reading and learning are inseparable from doing problems, but do you know that this seemingly simple process is actually quite particular? Let me talk about my own experience. When I was in grade one, I always insisted on doing the questions before the exam. After I finished the exercises in the textbook one by one, I went to see some review materials. However, every time I take an exam, my mind is in a mess, and I do the wrong questions in a daze, and my exam results are always unsatisfactory. Now, I'm thinking: after doing so many questions, why didn't you do well in the exam? The next few times, I simply don't do those questions, but this method is even more unworkable, because during the exam, my mind is empty, and sometimes I can't even remember the general format.
Why is this? What should I do? After several days of hard thinking, I finally found a good way to solve this problem. Every time I review, I first carefully understand the contents of each chapter, and then choose some representative topics to do, which not only consolidates the knowledge I have learned, but also saves time. For example, in mathematics, I review section by section. First of all, I carefully read the examples and main points in this section, and then I will do the following exercises. I just need to choose a few small questions from each big question. When you encounter something you don't understand, just look at the previous similar example and use your head to do it again. After I used this method, I really benefited a lot. I can always cope with all kinds of tests and exams easily. Later, I summarized this common problem-solving phenomenon into nine words: "More is chaotic, more is chaotic, and essence is clear."
Through the example just now, I believe that students have learned something about junior high school mathematics. As long as students build up confidence, develop good study habits, explore constantly in actual study, pay attention to methods, think skillfully and dare to innovate, I believe students will learn junior high school mathematics well! I wish the students excellent grades in the new semester! thank you
