LESSON NAVIGATION: Preview Introduction Objectives Taking this course “When you complete this study unit, you’ll be able to…” Contents..topic one..topic two..topic three Self-Checks Tips for solving word problems Summary Mind teaser answers Glossary Answers

MATH [GENERAL MATH I, II & CONSUMER MATH] Math is not a spectator sport. Work to understand the principles. Mathematics is cumulative. Math Tests Keep a list of things to remember Quickly look over the test & budget your time Check your answers & look for careless mistakes during the last few minutes of your test time Word Problems Translate the written words in to a mathematical equation Put it in your own words Pick out specific information Translate the information into an equation Solve the equation you have written and label you answer Check your answer(s) “Do problems repetitively!”

SCIENCE [FITNESS & NUTRITION, EARTH SCIENCE, BIOLOGY & PHYSICAL SCIENCE] Think: “How can I relate this to my everyday life?” Read for a purpose. Study for understanding, do not memorize. Analyze graphs, tables and figures. Critically think through equations. “Study for understanding, do not memorize!”

Preview Note-taking Text reading Problem solving Problem analysis Test preparation Test taking Understand the concepts Practice Keep up with assignments Ask questions Don’t hesitate GENERAL RULES & TIPS:

OVERCOMING MATH & SCIENCE ANXIETY: “Many people believe mathematics and sciences can be conquered only by certain kinds of people. This myth destroys potential, provides excuses and limits our possibilities. What is required is persistence and patience.” – Boise State University Five suggestions for overcoming math/science anxiety: Do not confine yourself to exact answers or processes Do not use self-defeating talk Do not run away from your intuition Do not consider you questions dumb Do not run away from math/science frustrations Use Khan Academy for more help and practice!
