Study+Guide+Method

Math Study Strategy: Students often don't consider that studying math requires a different process than other subjects. This introductory strategy should be utilized as students go through the WebQuest process.

__S __urvey __Q __uestion __3R __—Read, Recite, Review For __M__ath: Read through the examples provided. Identify and look up any new terms or theorems.  Ask yourself: What concepts, formulas, rules were applied?  How was the problem solved? (What methods used)  What was the first step? The second step?....  Draw pictures to help you understand the problem.  **Putting the problem solving into your own words will help you remember what to do. **
