analytical methods to identify and describe patterns and relationships in data,
solve problems, and predict results
State
Goal 9: Use geometric methods to
analyze, categorize and draw conclusions about points, lines, planes, and space

Tips for studying math:
1. Frequent short study periods produce
better results than "cramming".
2. Review previous sections a little each
day. Try making an index card file of rules, procedures, formulas,
strategies, steps, etc. Make reviewing fun by "shuffling the
deck" of index cards and "dealing them out" to see whether or
not you can recall the information.
3. Neatly write out every step of the
problem. If our work is a mess, so is the visual input that is provided
to the brain.
4. After
practicing a problem, have someone check the process. If your process is
wrong, the more you practice the incorrect steps the harder it will be learn
the correct method.
5. Practice as much as possible. Just
watching the teacher do the problem does not develop your ability to do the
process. Learning cannot be thought of as a "spectator sport".
6.
Talk to your teacher regarding your
progress, concerns, and goals.
7. Find a study partner. It's
always easier to solve problems when someone else is there to work at it with
you. Research has found that students who study in groups perform better
than those who study alone.
8. Label and date your notes from
each class discussion. Do the same with your homework.
