Any suggestions? Math Help

[Eli]

I am currently averaging a 75 in 10th grade math.
Failed all of my tests after logic.

Can someone recommend ways to get a better grade?
Study habits etc.
I can't do extra credit by the way.

... I never study and I don't pay attention in class. I pass all the tests though.

Study with someone in your class who understands, or I'm sure your school offers a tutoring service afterschool.

10th grade math = ? (algebra I, algebra II, geometry?)

Good old flash cards work for certain things. Mostly formulas, and any terms you have to know. Especially the theorems in geometry.

Take very, very, very, VERY good notes; and read over them every night/when you do your homework. What I would do is make outlines, use bullets for keypoints, throw in every example the teacher does, throw in some points and examples from the book, every helpful hint the teacher gives, make charts, use colorful pens to tell what's what.

For instance to make distributive property more clear (horrible example, just to give you an idea of what i mean >_> ) :

5b (4b + 3) = 20b
5b (4b + 3) = 20b + 15b = 35b

• I've learned that doing homework can save your grade, depending on the teacher.
• Make sure you write out all your work. This shows the teacher you are trying. Then when you still get things wrong ask what you are doing wrong.
• Make the teacher give you more examples if you have to.
• Don't be a pussy, ask questions.
• Pay attention at all times. Even when you think you know it.
• Listen for when/if the teacher says what will be on your test. If she doesn't say, ask.

Pretty much all I can say. Highly depends on you.
