Tips for Learning Algebra I

There are several layers of learning. First, you "get" the concept. Next, you learn the procedure. Third, you practice the procedure until you consistently get the right answers to the problems.

But what if you're one of those students that does all of this, but forgets the procedure on a test?

Take it to the next level....

Every night, select five problems from LAST week's lessons. Work those problems also. This helps you remember how to work the problems.

You see, your mind is very efficient at forgetting things that don't appear to be important. And in the ancient world, very few people needed Algebra. So our minds are designed to forget math. The way to remember something is to remember it repeatedly over the course of several days and weeks. Then, you won't forget it for years!
