Set A Math Goal

Ok, I hope you are enjoying your summer but I know in what seems like the blink of an eye school will be starting once again. 

So, right now as you are enjoying the wonderful relaxation of summer, set a goal for yourself this year with regard to your math performance. 

If you normally get C's make it your goal to get a solid B this year.  If you usually get B's make it your goal to get up into the A/A- range, etc.  

Ok, now that you've set your goal, work backwards from there.  

What will it take to get that result?  Daily studying? Extra help from your teacher or classmates?  Studying and practicing for quizzes and tests(not just taking them)?  

Ok let's take another step backward from there.  

Make a list of all the things you have to do, want to do, and would like to do and block off the time that you will dedicate to all your activities.  Is math in there?  Figure out when you will do your math and study your math(two different things!) 

I used to use different strategies when I was in school.  Sometimes I would do the subject I disliked the most...to get it out of the way and off my plate. Other times I would do the most important thing first to make sure if I ran out of time that at least that one was completed.  And still other times I would get the little things done first to help me feel like I was checking things off and building up momentum before tackling the dreaded subject.  Find out works for you and use/devise your own special hacks to maximize your results.
