Improving Your Grades with Algebra Practice
First I want to congratulate you on making the first step in helping yourself to excel in Algebra! That's a big step for most students!
Now that you are here, let's make the most of your time! How can you get quality algebra practice?
How to Get the Most Out of
Algebra-class.com!
You are here most likely because you need help with a concept that you learned in school. So, your first step should be to identify the unit that you working on.
Then find the unit in the chart below that correlates with your lesson in school. Click on the unit and it will take you to a series of lessons within that unit.
Within each lesson are example problems and algebra practice problems with an answer key. Copy each example problem on your own paper as you are reading through it. This will help you to understand the steps. At this point, you are trying to re-teach yourself the concept!
Then try to complete the practice problems on your own. If you are really struggling at this point, you may need to freshen up on your basic math skills.
Check your answers with the answer key. If your answer is incorrect, use the key to identify your mistake. Then redo the problem.
Tip
Sometimes you don't understand a particular concept because you don't have the foundation! Maybe you were absent one day that week, or you just didn't understand a lesson. If you are still really lost after reading through my examples, then you may need to go back and complete a few lessons prior to the one you are working on!
For example, let's say you are studying two-step equations, and you are really lost and frustrated! This is most likey because you don't understand the previous lesson, one-step equations! Go back and complete the lessons on one-step equations first. (Yes, it takes more time, but you will be better off in the end!)
Once you've completed the prior lessons, complete the lesson you started with again. Hopefully you will be more successful.
