Self Study Math


Introduction:

Let us learn the math by self. Its not a difficult one to study the math by self, we have to concentrate on the problems and show some interest. First of all, we should not think that math is difficult one.

Pre-algebra students with weak arithmetic skills need special instruction.

Repeating students need something new to hold their interest.

Students need Math Study Skills.

Students with disabilities benefit from multi-modality instruction.

Ten Steps to Doing Self Study Math Homework

Review related textbook material.

Review appropriate lecture notes.

Do homework neatly.

Write down every problem step.

Understand reasons for problem steps.

For difficult problems repeat 1 -5 and review similar problems, call another student, use other references, see a tutor or teacher.

Finish by working a problem successfully.

Recall or write down important concepts.

Make up note cards for difficult concepts.

Don’t get behind.

Example for self study math:

A coin is tossed 60 times. 25 times tail appears. Find the experimental probability of getting tail.

Solution:

Step 1:

Probability = `("Number of times the event happen") / ("Total number of trials")` .

Step 2:

Number of times tail appeared = 25.

Step 3:

Total number of experiments = 60.

Step 4:

Therefore experimental probability of getting a tail = 25/60= 5/12
