So how we do work on our math skills. Here are 3 ways, which can help you hone your general math skills
1.Make math part of your daily life... practice it without even thinking
For example, if a dress that’s regularly $50 is on sale for 30% off, what is the sale price?
Do simple calculation.
Or if you have to travel 20 miles. You are going at a speed of 20 miles per hour. How long will you take?
2.Use mental math everyday
20+30+45+60 = ??? don’t use calculator.
What is 15 squared or what is 20 squared…
Everyday spend 5 - 10 minutes working on basic computation
3.Practice diagramming
Always picture a math problem.
Make few circles/ draw connections/ some stick figures….
