Ways to improve memory? College math

[Bea__13]

My biggest obstacle is remembering which steps to take in math like im supposed to mutliple then divided but I also got to flip this around etc

So what are some ways I can improve my memory or how many hours should I study to get ingrained in my head

Have your mom and dad use flashcards.

Memorization is not going to help you with math

You simply have to do as many problems as you can

Also you should look into gettting a personal tutor if you are really stuck

 

[Freedman]

Chegg the homework so you can spend 100% of your time studying the concepts for the quiz and test. Also use lectures from YouTube/Khan Academy/etc to supplement your professors lectures.

Flash card repetitions

Caffeine+dmae+choline bitatrate
Caffeine+vinpocetine

 

[Dre Space Age]

vitamin B plus sublingual fluid

 

[Tom Foolery]

What area in math? provide a sample question.
Repetition with small increases in difficulty is probably the best method.

This solution to this problem is not memorization.

Could you provide an example of the type of problem you need help with?

What subject? What grade are you in? Do you understand the concepts ?

Pay for a tutor.

 

[EndDomination]

Practice.
Hit a minimum of 30 problems a day, 6 days a week.
Like @spaceXjamzZ said, use Youtube and Khan Academy if you're stuck.
If you run out of textbook problems, there should be some posted online that you can practice.

If you want to get better at studying you need to combine multiple ways to ingrain the processes in your brain. The more senses you can use to study the better it will be to "encode" the memory permanently. when you read, read the problem out loud, read it many ways, and read it outloud...that can help.

stay away from any drugs(even large doses caffeine) and alcohol when studying.

If are using flashcards or test questions, don't study a few at a time and memorize those, try to do them all at once, then back to the beginning. and redo them.

repetition is important. but don't cram. Space it out and you will be far better off

Repetition and the solutions manual

 

[TrebleMan]

Start small/with what you know each step when working through a problem.

When you get stuck at a step, try to find the concept why.

Then attempt another problem, then another, etc.

Approach student manuals the same way as well. If you didn't get the answer right, no shame in checking how someone else did it. Without that last part, you're just copying and pasting while relying solely on trying to memorize a bunch of problems and their solutions, which isn't sufficient. However, understanding why each step was made means the lessons are internalized instead.

People hate on solutions manuals, but ones that work a problem out step-by-step are really helpful for the process, as long as each step is understood. I think it greatly helps understanding a problem when used with a textbook. In many ways, you could use a textbook to supplement a solutions manual.
