How to score 100/100 marks in Maths
100-marks-mathsMathematics can be a nightmare to some students whereas fun for some others. It is basically because of the same reason. You either get it completely right or entirely wrong. It’s not like a language subject wherein there can be a maybe. And that is also the reason that it is definitely possible to score 100/100 marks in maths.
How can you score 100/100 marks in maths:
People say that only the students with a rational bent of mind understand mathematics. But it is not so. Mathematics is subject which helps in developing a rational thinking and a logical approach in students. A student cannot be made to fall in love with mathematics overnight but following are some tips to improve your score in maths and even help you achieve full marks in maths.
During Exam Preparations:
Make a separate register for theorems, formulae and methodologies: Maths is all about theorems, concepts and formulae, and it’s always wise to keep them handy. You can read and brush them up even when you are on the move and this practice also comes to rescue when you are having a last minute revision.
Solve Problems yourself: Whereas it is good to go through and understand different types of problems, it is very important to solve them yourself. Knowing theories and concept is necessary but to learn their application is inescapable if you want to score full marks in maths. You have to solve each by yourself, minimum 3-4 times over the course of time.
Understand your syllabus: Understanding your portions and the weightage attached to different sections helps you in deciding how much time to dedicate to each section. For example, if you know that there will be just a 5 marks question from a particular section, you do not have to dedicate a week practicing those sums.
Practice Papers: Practice papers are a good way to mentally prepare yourself for what you are going to get in the exams. The more you solve these, more confidence you will gain towards your achievement of scoring the highest score. Also, it is important to understand that you need not wait for your syllabus to finish before you start solving these. As you go on finishing different sections, you can find the respective questions from the sample papers and solve them side by side.
Address your problem areas outright: There may be times when you are solving a sample paper and you come across some questions which you cannot solve. While it is convenient to keep them aside to clear later, but over a period of time these accumulate and become a burden for you.
Time Management: It is not easy to be a maths champion. You must take out some time every day to solve mathematical problems in order to score 100/100 marks in maths, even when you have dedicated a particular day to some other subject. This can range from a quick half an hour of going through your register of formulae and methodologies, or dedicating couple of hours to solve sample papers.
There are many ways to “learn math”. For some people, learning math is just about memorizing some formulas and learning to apply them. I will explain what I think is a good way to learn math properly and well.
Think, don’t memorize.
Be skeptical.
Try to understand so well that you can explain it to yourself and to others.
Think deeply of simple things.
Find a good teacher/mentor if possible.
Think, don’t memorize: If someone like a teacher repeats a phrase like “d=rt, distance = rate times time”, don’t just passively listen and believe it. Think about it logically each time, and rederive this each time you need it. I’ve never liked teachers who constantly repeat an acronym for a formula in the hopes you will remember it, when you should seek to understand the underlying idea, and “rederive” (re-come up with) the formula each time.
Be skeptical: Don’t blindly trust any formula. Always wonder: Is it true? If it seems true after some testing, then: why is it true? Maybe the formula is true for all the integers from 1 to 12. Be skeptical. Maybe it breaks down later.
If you’re ever given a formula sheet, try to understand why each formula is true. Formulas aren’t things to memorize. They are things to understand. They were developed by someone very very human. Humans make mistakes, sometimes even in the copy-writing stage. Perhaps someone mistranscribed an otherwise correct formula. Perhaps everyone else in the world who checked the formula was wrong. Don’t blindly trust the work of previous mathematicians, if you want to learn math well.
I was on math team in middle and high school, and sometimes we were given formulas without them being explained to us. This-the lack of understanding of a formula, or deep understanding of a formula, always bugged me. If I didn’t understand why the formula was true, or if I understood, but not well enough to the point where I could explain it to someone else who doesn’t understand it in a way they can understand it, as well as convince them it is indeed true/correct, then I am not satisfied that I understand it on a deep enough level, and I will struggle to understand it better. Even if it is a “simple” fact like why (−2)×(−2)=4
(this ties into “think deeply of simple things”)
Once you understand something, practice explaining to others or yourself (or your imaginary younger self who still does not understand), if you can’t do it, then, while you may understand completely yourself, you can still improve your understanding to a level where you can in fact help someone else understand too. For instance, if someone learning math uses reasoning of spoken words to understand math, can you help this type of learner understand using only English words? This is a challenge, converting math conceptual understanding to people who want to gain math conceptual understanding from trying to understand in English words instead of, let’s say, symbolically, for algebra.
This process of trying to understand, understanding, trying to understand better, convincing yourself of the correctness of some mathematical fact, explain to your imaginary younger self, helping others understand, is a constant struggle.
I would go so far as to say, be skeptical of everything you are told in math class. If you are not, and you fall into the trap of blindly believing and accepting a bunch of formulas, algorithms, theorems, that some math teacher told you, you miss the whole point of mathematics, which is to think, understand, and help others understand.
Find a good teacher/mentor
Good luck and have fun in understanding math to your personal level of satisfaction!!!
Pls mark as brainliest..
