How can I improve my math skills especially in the field of algebra?
Q. I'm going to study civil engineering this coming school year and I enrolled for an advance class for math. Every time we have a class, I find it hard to understand algebraic problems (especially word problems in algebra). I love math but I find it hard to apply every time we have a seat work or homework. I also have problems remembering formulas and the law of exponents. I really want to improve my math skills. I really need your help before the first sem starts.

A. I'm afraid the only answer is to practise. You need to work with the concepts until they become second nature. At first you will battle through referring repeatedly to your notes, after a while you will wonder why you even needed them! Make use of your tutor, ask questions, and make sure you really understand the principles of the problem; many of my students just like to have an answer written down, without wantig to put any thought into how we got there, then get surprised when they can't do it themselves. Algebra is a very big field though, what particularly do you struggle with, rearranging formulae, graphical methods, indices? Can recommend the BBC bitesize web site if it covers the areas you need though.

How can I teach reading and math skills to children?
Q. I would like to teach my younger godchildren how to read and install in them math and critical thinking skills. I especially what to encourage the girls to have an interest in math and science, which girls have a tendency to like a 'softer' subjects like English, social studies, etc. I want the boys to do the same as well. How do I go about doing this? Any suggestions will greatly be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

A. Try to make a game out of it. A game I played in school to learn multiplication was like the card game War. we used a regular deck of cards(ace is one, jack is 11, queen is 12 and king is 13). The two people would each open a card and the first to multiply (one chance and it had to be right) would get the cards. The one with the most amount of cards won. For Science get a tape of "Bill Nye the Science Guy" because, even though it is a little old, it still teaches alot. Also show how the things you learn can be (and will be) used in the real world. Almost like a field trip. I really hope this helps, in the future or now.

I am 31 and starting school this fall and have spent a lot of time to make sure that I am ready for the challenge. I have bought Chemistry and Biology books off of eBay and spent months becoming a bada** at algebra. There are many web sites that you can use to improve your math skills.

A. Since my best subjects are maths and science, the way that I improved was to basically ask the teacher for help or for clarifications. If you are really very "blur", than you can read all your books (YES, I know it will be boring) thoroughly. This may help you in your exam. Another way is tuition.

is it normal to temporarily lose some math skills over the summer vacation?
Q. I'm quite good at math, however, after this summer, I feel like a dunce! I took Trigonometry last year (and got an A in it), and yet I cannot even figure out some basic algebra as I look at it this very moment! After some basic reviews, will I get my math skills back? Also ... is this a common scenario?

A. Most definately. If you don't continue to practice math problems, they become more difficult. But, don't freak out because usually it only takes a bit of refreshing to get back on track. ^_~ You can go over a few problems that you are still having trouble with and usually your mind will catch on. You might have to relearn some things, but usually that's not the case. Just stick with it. It gets easier if you practice a bit.

If you can't or don't want to do either of these I would suggest instead of just doing the homework your teacher gives you maybe doing the extra question on that page that night also. Also usually there are practice quizzes and test at the end of each chapter and sometimes even in the back of the book. I would take these for extra practice also. The answers should be given in the back of the book. In math I always found the more problems you did the easier it got and the easier it was to remember for test and quizzes. Also save all your tests and quizzes the entire semester so you'll have something to study from for the final exam.

If I have unusual sharp memory skills,why do you think I have difficulty memorizing math solutions?
Q. I will say I am very proud of myself for my good memory skills,but in math terms;I find myself still trying to memorize 1 math skill after several hours thanks Barrych20,that was very great advice!!!so yah lol

A. Perhaps because math is somewhat abstract. If you could somehow relate math to something you ARE good at memorizing (i.e., association), that would help.

A. Interesting question, actually. I'll post more details shortly. I sent this question to my dad (he's a math professor). Answer: (and yes, there is no right or wrong answer on this, btw). Geometry has already been covered by Answerer #3, so I'll add in probability and distribution. Settings on a camera such as shutter speed, etc. as well as your surroundings will never be precise. For instance, when you set aperture, the probability that you will get the same result from your camera, taking the same exact shot 10 or 1,000 times in a row is incalculable. An impossibility except for a set of measure zero. Such as this situation here... Oh..and by the way...the easiest career plan to write would be something like "Logistics… [cont.]

Are language and math skills processed by the same part of the brain?
Q. I'm just curious since I've always viewed math as a kind of language. If they aren't handled in the same part of the brain, do you have any idea why that would be?

A. Interesting question but the answer depends on how precise you want to get. The above answers are correct in that math is primarily processed in the left brain as is math (technically, I should say "dominant" brain as in some people its reversed). It is too simple to point to one area of the brain and say "here is language" and "here is math" however, you can get a stroke in a part of the parietal lobe (angular gyrus) that gives inability to perform even simple math calculations while sparing most language function (Google: acalculia and Gerstman's syndrome). This area is right next to a big language area (Wernicke's) and actually there will almost be some elements of language affected (agraphia essentially always, receptive language… [cont.]
