RHS ESSENTIAL 

Many students feel like knowing how to do well in math is an inborn skill, something that can’t be learned. But the truth is that anyone can be successful in math – they just need the right strategies. Over the next few days we will be investigating tips for Math success! 

Tip #1: Do all the homework. 

Don't ever think of homework as a choice. It is the most important way for learners to practice and master the concepts taught in class. Set up a regular time and place that will help you make doing the homework feel automatic instead of a task that you detest. After a few days of regular practice you will find it easier and look forward to practising Math exercises. Remember, practise makes permanent!
