I could go on further with fractions… How to add and subtract fractions
when the denominators are the same… How to add and
subtract fractions
when the denominators are different… How to
multiply fractions… How to
divide fractions. But, I’m sure you get the
idea. Didn’t it look a lot less scary
when it was all written out? AND didn’t it
look so much more approachable?
You’ll be amazed, too, at how much you will
learn by just making the outlines.
You’ll also find that they REALLY reduce test
anxiety (which I’ll talk about
later.)
You’ll also definitely want to go through your notes when making
outlines. Look for things that you put stars
by and things that your teacher
got excited about or really stressed. Be sure
to mention these in your outline!
Outlining is a tool that you can use in your other classes too. It’s
also a
very valuable tool in most careers.
The Familiarity Problem
Have you ever taken a math test… and you thought you really knew the
stuff… and you failed anyway?
So many times, I’ve handed students back “D“ or “F” exams and gotten
a very confused look while the students say,
“But, I knew the material.” They
look at me like I must have done
something wrong! I know they are
thinking, “Hey, lady, what did you do to my
test? It was an “A” when I turned
it in!”
