When you prepare for your algebra course, what is your approach?
With many of my students, questions that they have in algebra are not from lack of understanding of the concepts.
The frustrations that build are due to a lack of a good approach. The first change that I always have my students make is to write down every single step of a problem. Often we think that we can do parts of math problems in our heads.
While oftentimes we may be able to do problems in our head, many times we miss details that completely change the answer.
I hope this simple tip helps you in your course.
