Thank you so much for all the nice comments and love!! 💕 So happy to hear it was helpful :) Sorry for the audio problem. This is my first video and for sure I am going to fix it for the future. But thanks to all the right ears that loved the video✌️
Yeah I really want you to have an online meet and teach me too I always feel like if I had a teacher teaching me alone or with random students, it would make topics more apparent to me and I'd be able to ask my doubts without any fear too
yes ! i found that reviewing what we learned directly after class/school helped me a lot, as well as reviewing older but relevant concepts frequently. practice outside of school esp stuff like khan academy was sooo helpful
If you get quickly frustrated with something, remember that research says that you need like 20 to 30 repetitions to remember something. You might even need more with increasing complexity. For math, I usually take a post-it note and write the "recipe" for the concept down and do the first exercises with that. After that, reps, reps, reps.
Plz elaborate...is it like , let me explain... Suppose youre doing trigonometric identity sums You learn how to solve the questions regularly by understanding the pattern and then later reps reps reps ...
The reason Maths is hard is because it teaches abstract concepts without putting them into context of their application and that's unnatural to humans. If you study law you will have real life cases to understand the subject, in medicine you have examinations of patients, in tech you have computer programs that help you understand code logic and data structures, in astronomy you observer the night sky etc. in Maths you can't show in real life what you're learning so people (like me) don't know how to understand it. And it will remain a difficult subject for this reason forever.
notes: for myself :) 1. before trying to solve a problem, plan on what to do first, then try to remember from the top of your head, if incorrect or seriously stuck, reread answer key, put it away, and answer again (repeat as much as possible) 2. it's okay to not understand at first try, practice makes perfect !! ♥
As a retired math instructor, I can say that this is a very insightful video. The message is not complicated and actually contradicts some common beliefs about education. I hope Han makes more videos. I'd like to get to know this gal!
For me it was my teachers. If they didn’t care, I didn’t care. In a remedial math class I once had a professor tell me “you should know this” after I asked her a question. If I knew the answers, I wouldn’t be taking her class. Simple. Unfortunately after failing the CLEP test I had no choice but to retake the class. Thankfully this time it was with a different professor, very nice man, very intelligent, and suddenly everything clicked for me. Everything I’d failed to learn over all those years in school I finally understood. This professor actually seemed to care about his students’ success (or maybe he just didn’t want to fail anyone, haha). Either way, I noticed he seemed to pay extra attention to me because he would mostly look at me during his lectures. No, he didn’t have a “crush” on me, I was just more attentive than most of my classmates and took it very seriously. I’d come on time, not talk, sit at the front, participate, always take notes, ask questions, come to office hours, come prepared, etc. Call me “teacher’s pet” but I was determined this time to pass because my graduation was at stake. I was even motivated to start going to tutoring almost every day. It was an amazing and emotional transformation for me and I actually started to like math. I had this professor twice, and I advanced to college algebra. I graduated with honors from that school and I’ll never forget that math professor. Having a good teacher in your life really matters.
Agree. The type and quality of instructor you have can make a HUGE difference in the quality of your learning. Glad you got to have a good teacher (as those types are too rare unfortunately) and congrats on passing your school with honors.
I had shitty maths teachers in my early years which contributed to my fear of maths, otherwise i don't hate maths at all, i think it's very interesting. If only we had enough good teachers😞 some people don't deserve to be teachers
I can attest to this, my Dosage Calculations class professor just skims over the lectures, almost like she just wants to get it over with. And this class is my 2nd most important class out of my 4 classes but it's the one I pay least attention to out of the 4 because of the lack of commitment from my professor.
As someone who's always afraid of and feel super anxious while writing my maths test after watching this I felt confident in my decision of taking maths as a subject in high school. I hope I'll improve myself more in the future. Thanks for the tips!
This video was very helpful. You don’t understand how stressful it can be to feel like you lack the “math gene” when your peers are catching on to problems before you! I will DEFINITELY be using this method when solving my problems.
Success in Math is definitely a cumulative progression; missing one bit of knowledge in the chain can completely throw you off track when it comes to understanding later concepts. I think this happens to a lot of kids early on and they start to think they're bad a math, when they just didn't grasp a important skill and got left behind. The problem if one decides to pick up math later and give it another go is trying to determine what it was that you didn't understand in the past that caused you to just chuck it all in and become an english major instead.
This. I'm in college studying Culture Studies and Intercultural communication but in elementary I was really bad at math, the teacher was going too fast and I was so discouraged. In middle school I got a different approach to it and found it to be way easier than before, Even though I didn't have enough bases
This is something that happened to me. Got behind on understanding math around 12-14 years old and then in college it was a nightmare trying to grasp way more complex concepts that I couldn't understand bc I didn't have the basics for them.
@@130hwaisame here! I'm currently in highschool and during elementary school and most of middle school I was rly bad at math until I actually started trying different methods like studying maths everyday and paying a lot more attention in class. I think traditional study methods are also so bad when it comes to maths like pls explain better 😭
Thank you so much Han for these tips!! I Hate maths soo much and searched everywhere so i can to get better but they didnt really didnt help.. Finally some maths tips which make sense and can help~🌼
I actually love doing mathematics and what she mentioned is really the right way. Before I used to barely pass math examinations but now I get full on every single math test! This video is highly recommended to those who find mathematics not their cup of tea. Thank you for these amazing tips!

I resonate with this video a lot, when I was a kid I never used to study math and failed at most tests except geometry. As I grew up everyone started labelling me as dumb, even my own parents made pretty hurtful comments lol. Randomly I got fed up and started to pickup math in 9th grade, I realised math isn't only about practice but also understanding the fundamental basics of the subject! During the time I studied math in 9th grade I focused on getting my basics dating to almost 4th grade syllabus at times. Slowly but surely I started to realised the recipe for math was to understand how it is solved then solve on your own! A lot of people discourage you from looking at answers, but how you mentioned that an approach to an answer actually tells you about the existing knowledge gaps that needs attention. Though I did really well in math in 10th grade, I lost traction in 11th and 12th grade but I was still above average, during that time however I was constantly being lazy, solving variety of problems and understanding the approach/intuition to an answer is the key to succeed in any logical subject!
I am in 10th grade and am currently unable to do most 6th grader math, like I am not going to graduate because I don't even have the time to re learn everything
Can you give me a word of advice? I'm also in the process of starting from scratch in Math and I really want to understand the beauty of it.. (P.S I'm starting 9th grade and had not been studying properly for 3 years)
@@Yeehaw0588 I am not sure about your life circumstances but even dedicating an hour to a topic a day can make a world of a difference! When you prioritise and want something, even in a busy schedule you end up making time for it
@@schwarzcoldkilla take things slow, don't compare yourself to your peers, start out on your current syllabi, if you don't understand something look at the answer, if the answer doesn't make sense to you, focus on the topic that makes the answer relevant. That's how I worked on my math skills. If you don't understand something even after studying a topic and looking at an answer, maybe there's an issue with the foundation itself
Started studying math from khan academy since may this year, I was a Chinese student's 10 year old level lol I didn't study in June and July much but now as the beginning of September I have finished Algebra 1. Still have problematic points, but I'm proud to not have given up. Throughout my whole life I believed that math wasn't for me, that I'm of "humanitarian" sciences as we call them, had a biggest war with my math teacher and believed I'd never need math. But things have changed, I want a better life and achieve something high, so only math can be my stepping stone to greatness. I hope I can pursue data science, or I want to become best of the best
@@isagiyoichi5207factss me too. I'm struggling most with calculus because my foundation isn't solid. Though i don't have any troubles in technical drawings as I could easily project them out. I feel like I might fail my calc subject. I'm still first year tho...
Hey, it's a maths channel from which I am doing .it recently started you can watch because teacher is good. I am understanding the chapter. Someone recommended me on youtube, when I needed. You can look. Channel name is BYAN GLOBALE CLASSES youtube.com/@ByanGlobaleClasses-cg1om?feature=shared
I'm so glad UA-cam recommended this video to me. It felt like you were describing exactly how I feel about math, so I'm definitely going to apply your strategy and try my best to get better ^^
Great video. Practice makes perfect and don't skip on the prerequisites before moving on to more advanced topics. It's advice we hear a lot, but you provided a clear template on how you acted on it. Barbara Oakley also had a similar experience before going on to becoming an engineering professor. Her books and courses are really popular if anyone reading this comment is looking for more resources. Good luck!
The first few mins of the video where u explained that you were bad at maths and now its your favourite it made me cry im sobbing right now because i used to enjoy doing maths but idk what happened but in 2022 all of a sudden im bad at it and I don’t enjoy it anymore i failed 3 times in maths where i used to get 100/100 back in 2021 :(
i thank youtube for recommending this to me ! im currently struggling with my math lessons this school year, and your advice just give me a better enlightenment about math. thank you !
Hey , it's a maths channel from which I am doing .it recently started you can watch because teacher is good. I am understanding the chapter. Someone recommended me on youtube, when I needed.

Even though I was one of the students who was naturally great at math, I still related to this video. What was really frustrating about A level Math (equivalent to 11th and 12th grade) was that it was primarily a practice-based subject instead of the memory/application subjects I was used to. The only way I could secure the A in Maths in Year 13 was to spend HOURS going over the easiest questions and scaling up to the hardest questions. You can't run before you learn to walk, so it made sense why I couldn't hack the high mark mechanics questions without going over the dead basics.
@@koala6850 1. PROTIP: get to know your calculator. Your A-Level calculator can solve quadratic formulas for you, which saves a lot of time in exams (but make sure you can factorise without one as well, don't rely solely on your calculator). 2. Practice questions are a MUST. I did Edexcel, so I used the practice questions in the textbook. My go-to website for practice questions was "MadasMaths" since it started from DEAD easy questions and built up to the really hard ones 3. You probably won't get it straight away, that's normal so don't beat yourself up. Ask help from your teacher to go through questions step by step until you get it. You can also find walkthroughs of different topics on UA-cam which are also super helpful. If you use madasmaths, there's a walkthrough sheet that goes through each question step by step. 4. LEARN YOUR FORMULAE. You get a formula sheet in the exam, but you'll need to memorise a lot of formula also, especially in year two trig. Hope this helped! x
I just started yr13 and I hate maths so god damn much, I really regret taking it 😭 I need at least a C (ideally a B) and only just scraped a C in AS level (I was 1 mark in the boundary)…it’s really difficult as well when your teacher couldn’t give a damn about whether you do well or not (he’s out right told us he doesn’t care). I’m getting a math tutor though which will hopefully help.
Another history lesson - 50 years ago we didn’t have access to solved problems 😢 to study from. My math breakthrough was in algebra in 8th grade. WORD PROBLEMS 😮 . I can still see that day, in that classroom, with the math teacher at my side complementing me on having got a word problem correct. It was a huge mental relief and it was like turning on a light 💡. I then made it a habit of not only doing the assigned math homework but every problem in that chapter. Next year geometry was a challenge but it was OK. I went on to study physics and engineering and retired from a 30 year career as a mechanical engineer at a US Department of Energy scientific laboratory. Young people - you have no idea how lucky you are to have the resources of the internet 😊
I HATE HATE HATE MATHS!!!!!... I literally put my soul into it and got nothing back, i practiced maths daily and consistently still gave my exam few days ago and that went So baaad!! I literally studied avoiding my sleep but WHAT I GOT? just depression and stress? May be I'm not capable? Despite all my hardwork...huh... The most hurtful thing for a student could be getting less than you expected than your friends despite all efforts you put....Tried so hard to be a maths person but failed ;))) °°
sucked at math since 4th grade. Don't need to use math in my life, and I am out of school for decades. I don't know why UA-cam pushed this video, and more so, why I watched it. But it seems like such a good approach. The steps can be applied to many other things we are not "good" at. Thank you!!
"I dont know why UA-cam pushed this video" Math is literally the foundation for all things engineering. You know the computer you are making stupid comments on? Yep, believe it or not sir, it took math to make it. LOL
@@ThomasLee-vs2gu I really hate it when I find people saying "where are you gonna use this in real life?" LIKE BRO EVERYTHING FROM COMPUTERS TO SATELLITES IS BASED ON THOSE "IRRELEVENT THINGS"
@@LeviAckerman-hs2slIkr... 🙄 I don't like maths either but I didn't ever deny its importance in our lives... It's just illogical that just because it's not useful to you directly, it's not ever useful or it is unimportant... Of course, the main reason I hate maths is because I never scored well in it... 😅
@ThomasLee-vs2gu It's not that deep, dude; the dude says that he doesn't use maths in his personal life and is confused that it was recommended to his feed, not the fact that he thinks it's a useless subject in everyday life. Before you call people's comments stupid, you need to read and understand the context of it first.
3:38 resembles the algorithm for solving rubik's cubes with a "meet in the middle" approach, from both the starting problem state looking for transformation steps towards the solution, and also from the solution looking for the reverse transformation steps towards the initial problem state.
This is very insightful. Learning the answer first turnes an unsolvable and scary mystery into a quest of connecting the dots in between. It's no longer a vague open question, it's a space with defined limitations, the start and the end. This approcah is reducing the anxiety so much. You no longer guess and stumble blindly. Wow.
I can totally relate to the one anecdote here (1:35) in which she recites the scores on her exam. Of all the exams I took in my undergraduate years, I can only recall one specific score: the 37 I got on my first physical chemistry exam (covering thermodynamics). As an A student with an excellent GPA, the only specific score I remember 47 years later was the disaster!
Difficulty in math can stem from various factors, such as learning style, mindset, or gaps in foundational knowledge. Identifying specific challenges and seeking targeted assistance, like tutoring or alternative learning approaches, can be helpful. Remember, everyone has unique strengths, and improvement is often achievable with the right support and mindset.
throughout the middle school i was really bad at maths, didn't have a clue about what the teacher was writing on the board. then in my last year of middle school i started studying maths by myself, tried to understand the chapters before the teacher taught them in class. you have to thoroughly read the theory and try to solve the questions on your own. this way when the teacher goes through the chapter in class it doesn't go all over your head and actually helps you stay ahead of the class.
I am currently an International Business student and I struggle to this day with math I had such bad teachers that didn't even help the students who needed it because they didn't have the patience for it.
Thank you! I really appreciated this video! I actually used to love math and Science. I fell out of love with math when it became confusing, now you’ve helped me get back on track! 😊
I found that many people actually don't get what is happening but they are too scared to ask so they just pretend they get it. Don't be like them, if you ask you'll not only benefit yourself, but you'll benefit others too.
@@rorymac7179 I am using khan academy and also the UA-cam course made by Professor Daves explain it’s sooo helpful there is a full playlist. Good luck!
Awesome video - I think practice for math is key, especially if you're new to it. I'm currently in my undergrad, and it wasn't until my second semester of calculus that I started becoming familiar with the process of solving questions, and struggling less with concepts - especially coming from a very hectic high school experience, where I was constantly moving states and didn't have a consistent education - especially math exposure- for years.
As a mathlete, this is exactly how it's supposed to be done!! When approaching a problem, I'll give myself some time to try to approach it; letting all my curiosities flow out until I either hit a dead end or actually solve it. Let's say if I get stuck. If I don't come up with an idea for the next 2-3 minutes, I look at the solution to understand where the sneaky trick lies. This works effectively all the time for me and it's not a waste of time spending 1-2 hours on one problem. You apply the concept again by yourself, recalling tricks and remembering your mistakes.
Thank you so much for this video! I just graduated High School and want to study physics but my grades in math were pretty bad. I also always wondered why it was so easy for me in the beginning but became so different for me in High School. Many people have told me the same when talking about this subject, things like ''Some people are just bad at math'' and I'd think nothing special about it. No one really knew how to explain it to me. It's really motivating to hear your story and that you have majored in Math! I will apply the methods and improve. Now I know how I'll approach math in university with greater confidence and better grades, so thanks :)
Han thank you so much, i watched this vid in August last time and i have improved SO MUCH because of these tips. My maths teacher recently appreciated me for improving so much and fingers crossed that i score well in my exams;) Thank you so much ❤️💗
I loved maths..I could understand it even better than other of my classmates...what I stucked in was "Problem solving"..that was a hard part for me, but now I dont think it'll ever be, I was also doing the same as you did being yonger..try to solve on my own until I get the answer and the result is same as you get. But I think now its gonna change and I'm gonna be good at math! Thanks

I love math, and I'm even obsessed with it. I like to solve math problems for about 15 hours a day. I'm quite good at it. I always score well, like 100 /100. Right now, I'm in grade 7. I still solve math for hours, but the problem is that I suddenly get low marks on the exam. It was a kinda nightmare for me ig...I want to recover from this problem...
I was homeschooled by a mom who didn’t actually homeschool me and my math skills are soooo bad. I did eventually get into highschool and made it through on time, I dont know how. I couldn’t even do subtraction on paper because I had no idea how to do the steps and no teacher wanted waste time on the class idiot…. Extremely embarrassing. Now I’m a chemical engineering major and teaching myself college maths and oh my goodness have I been scared. This advice feels so solid and im excited to try it. Thank you !! 💕💕💕
i"m currently in almost the same boat you were in but hopefully with hard work i can reach my goal this comment gave me a lot of encouragement so thank you
Holy carrot! This video for some reason made so much more sense to me and made me introspect in retrospect about the path I chose, where I'd be stuck with problems and not just in Maths but in general science like chem, phy, bio as well, where I'd try to solve it myself anyhow I can without taking much help and study and try to figure out only to keep getting stuck in each step and get frustrated but still do it and at the end wasting a lot of time only to find sometimes I didn't even get the answer. This path, however, isn't the best when you're sitting for competitive exams where you're supposed to be more fast, more efficient and more overall knowledge of everything rather than be stuck trying to get in-depth knowledge of/about one thing (which is the path I took). No regrets though, thank you for making this video, now I know what I didn't do and what should be done to crack those exams. I just wrote this comment to talk to myself and express a bit of my introspection and also boost you in the YT algorithm as a vote of thanks. You're really beautiful too hehe
A tiny tip from me : start with a very easy maths exam possible. Such as a very simple division and equations for kids. It really worked and inspired me to understand more about maths
Thank you so much for this video. I’m definitely in the first category struggling. I had worked out there was a method key like in cookery, but hadn’t got past that bit. I agree a lot of teachers just don’t teach all the steps or even important subjects. Your a star, thanks again.
What you doing is passive learning ie. cramming the solution. Youl'' forget it after sometime , key is to recall the concept and do whatever you know and then fill in the loopholes.
this video and the advice given was perfect. i’m in my last year of undergrad as a mechEng major and physics and math are still not as intuitive to me as i would like. thank you so much Han !! 💜💜
The maths tips was According to my opinion Per days practice maths problem 2) you will study what did schools lesson of maths studied a you will do at your home 3) if your school finished lesson and took lesson weekend days you will finished lesson and now what teacher taking lesson that also you study at weekends
My problem with math was that i would listen to the other teachers telling me that i cant do math and agree with them. But in 4 i surprisingly rose upp with a great teacher 😢❤
oh my god, I think it is your first-ever video and I loved it. I am also an operational research student and now I am so happy that I found an operational researcher who gives ideas about math. I have struggled to even study math since primary education. I will apply all your suggestions in the new semester. thanks a lot
I agree with @nody3319 above. I went from a low 7 in my Year 10 mocks, to a high 9 in the finals, by doing past paper questions. Perhaps try her methods with past papers?
I was not bad at maths. It’s one of the teacher who asked me about a problem whose concept had never been taught before ; I was unable to answer it and then she scolded in front of the entire class and put wrong accusations on me that I was talking to the classmates and not studying despite being one of the person who used to come within first three ranks in the class. My nightmare began after that. I became weak in maths and afraid of the subject. My performance became so bad that I just used to get passing marks later on. In my college I decided to leave maths and do pharmacy. As a result now I don’t earn much as compared to those who have done their engineering despite working for long hours in pharma consulting. I regret leaving maths. However then nobody understood me and neither helped me
Thank you so much for this! it was actually encouraging because for my daily lessons I wanted to do this but felt maybe I was just "giving up." But, it actually really helps save the tears as well as I am actually learning and not just staring into space wondering how I could possibly be so dumb. xD
my math tip: if you encountered any hard math problems, then try to spend about 30-40 minutes ( depends on the difficulty) on that problem to understand it properly. How? by using every math formulas ( anything u know about math) u have learned and apply all of it into that problem, mostly u just need remember the formula by heart and u are good to go because 50% are remembering formulas and 50% are solve a particular math problem with it ( let me know if my english grammar is bad or not :)) )
This is my approach too! I find looking at answers, and understanding them and then tackling the rest of the problems makes such a difference. Otherwise I just get frustrated and confused, and I can't progress.
Thank you for the video. It has a lot of helpful tips. I suggest you check the audio. I can only hear your voice with my right earbud while the music is played by both sides.
I was fairly good at math but when the concepts got more complicated and I could no longer see how anybody could actually apply them in real life, I just gave up. And when I asked teachers what practical value some concepts had, they treated me like I was an idiot or made fun of me for it. I particularly liked word problems because they actually showed you those concepts could be applied in real life. So teachers, please keep in mind that some of us learn wayyyyyy better when we think that what we're learning has practical value because otherwise, it just feels like a waste of time which makes it incredibly HARD to pay attention.
As a graduate math student I think word problems really, really do not the applications of math justice. Math is probably the most human of all endeavors yet it is very rarely taught in that way. Often it is taught as a cut and dry thing. But it's not. More than anything math is a problem solving approach. Those algebra rules that they make you learn in high school? They are , for the most part arbitrary from a mathematical point of view. Of course, some of them are there for consistency, but I'm trying to get down to the fundamental axioms of it all. We invented algebra to deal with real world problems, on a much larger scale than the petty and far-fetched word problems students are given to solve. We of course made a set of rules to go along with it, because these rules reflect things that happen in our real world problem. To draw an analogy, you've got a flathead screw to screw in, but you don't have a flathead screwdriver. Now you must improvise, but you already know that you need something thin, rigid and pointy to screw your screw in. This is math, you're defining the essential features, or rules, that your tool, your solution to the problem should have. Now you find a knife, which meets all of these properties. The knife is algebra, a tool to solve your problem. Of course, you can abstract away the screw and the knife and whatnot, and study the properties of objects that are thin, rigid and pointy. Here you're doing math again: abstraction. But few people teach math this way. V.I. Arnold and Russia in general was a huge proponent of math by intuition, which is how so many Russians became good at math. Arnold was a little extremist (I really, really disagree with his view that math is part of physics), but really, math embodies more of the human history, human spirit and human ingenuity than any of the humanities.
Finally , after thousand years, I've found a very fresh relaxing video especially about maths 😁🤝. I'm very weak in maths still now. This video gave me a very chilling and special ideas to learn. I don't know whether i can understand maths in my entire life, but I've learnt that smart work along with hard work is the key for every success 🤝😌. Nys, new subscriber here 🥰👍. Waiting for more interesting ones 😌.
This is super good advice! I used to be decent at maths until i was off school for months with an illness, and when i went back i was really struggling. Thankfully, because I had a good maths teacher and i was determined to try i improved a bit in class. What mainly helped me though is my dad who's a maths teacher would sit with me and help me through my homework. Im hoping i get a good maths teacher this year but if not atleast I have my dad! Anyways, my point is that you dont need a parent with a degree in this to help you, going over the steps in the problems in practices really does help!
The math network is way too true. When I joined geometry class, some stuff I really couldn't understand simply because I never learned the pre-basics before starting the class (I started the class mid-way, it was an outside program). Basically, if you don't know something you probably forgot or you really didn't learn what you should have learned. And the way to solve this issue works as well. For geometry, I kinda just did a lot of questions with the class and kinda just got through without learning the pre-requisites (You learn the theroems and formulas you missed while doing these practice questions)
Thank you so much for all the nice comments and love!! 💕 So happy to hear it was helpful :)
Sorry for the audio problem. This is my first video and for sure I am going to fix it for the future. But thanks to all the right ears that loved the video✌️
Hey! Even I have problem solving maths , Can we do a online meet maybe?
Yeah I really want you to have an online meet and teach me too I always feel like if I had a teacher teaching me alone or with random students, it would make topics more apparent to me and I'd be able to ask my doubts without any fear too
Hi, how do you use WALLI'S FORMULA IN DEFINITE INTEGRALS?
I have no idea...@@a.pal_yt2018
in the future not for the future
The problem I had with math: too many concepts that were difficult to understand without sufficient time given to learn them.
Need time to understand each concept unless math does not make sense to you.
yes ! i found that reviewing what we learned directly after class/school helped me a lot, as well as reviewing older but relevant concepts frequently. practice outside of school esp stuff like khan academy was sooo helpful
totally agree. the university schedule is just too tight to grasp all the concepts and techniques.
This is so me.
That’s what I see too, especially in the advanced classes 😭
If you get quickly frustrated with something, remember that research says that you need like 20 to 30 repetitions to remember something. You might even need more with increasing complexity. For math, I usually take a post-it note and write the "recipe" for the concept down and do the first exercises with that. After that, reps, reps, reps.
Thank you so much for mentioning this!!!
Plz elaborate...is it like , let me explain...
Suppose youre doing trigonometric identity sums
You learn how to solve the questions regularly by understanding the pattern and then later reps reps reps ...
@@usermumpy12 i hated trig identities bro
hehehe@@sillyorigamininjakid
really struggled in math
The reason Maths is hard is because it teaches abstract concepts without putting them into context of their application and that's unnatural to humans. If you study law you will have real life cases to understand the subject, in medicine you have examinations of patients, in tech you have computer programs that help you understand code logic and data structures, in astronomy you observer the night sky etc. in Maths you can't show in real life what you're learning so people (like me) don't know how to understand it. And it will remain a difficult subject for this reason forever.
Honestly, math is like a language...
Not many understand
I agree
notes: for myself :)
1. before trying to solve a problem, plan on what to do first, then try to remember from the top of your head, if incorrect or seriously stuck, reread answer key, put it away, and answer again (repeat as much as possible)
2. it's okay to not understand at first try, practice makes perfect !! ♥
also if really stuck skip on to next question, and answer the question ur stuck at later on

As a retired math instructor, I can say that this is a very insightful video. The message is not complicated and actually contradicts some common beliefs about education. I hope Han makes more videos. I'd like to get to know this gal!

Any Tips for students with dyscalculia trying to relearn math 😅 not and engineer ir anything but I like to kinda fix it
You look like Newton's cousin, Are you?🤨 😂... Just kidding 😅
ye so good video
For me it was my teachers. If they didn’t care, I didn’t care. In a remedial math class I once had a professor tell me “you should know this” after I asked her a question. If I knew the answers, I wouldn’t be taking her class. Simple. Unfortunately after failing the CLEP test I had no choice but to retake the class. Thankfully this time it was with a different professor, very nice man, very intelligent, and suddenly everything clicked for me. Everything I’d failed to learn over all those years in school I finally understood. This professor actually seemed to care about his students’ success (or maybe he just didn’t want to fail anyone, haha). Either way, I noticed he seemed to pay extra attention to me because he would mostly look at me during his lectures. No, he didn’t have a “crush” on me, I was just more attentive than most of my classmates and took it very seriously. I’d come on time, not talk, sit at the front, participate, always take notes, ask questions, come to office hours, come prepared, etc. Call me “teacher’s pet” but I was determined this time to pass because my graduation was at stake. I was even motivated to start going to tutoring almost every day. It was an amazing and emotional transformation for me and I actually started to like math. I had this professor twice, and I advanced to college algebra. I graduated with honors from that school and I’ll never forget that math professor. Having a good teacher in your life really matters.
You lucked out, meeting great teachers like that is rare
Agree. The type and quality of instructor you have can make a HUGE difference in the quality of your learning.
Glad you got to have a good teacher (as those types are too rare unfortunately) and congrats on passing your school with honors.
I had shitty maths teachers in my early years which contributed to my fear of maths, otherwise i don't hate maths at all, i think it's very interesting. If only we had enough good teachers😞 some people don't deserve to be teachers
I can attest to this, my Dosage Calculations class professor just skims over the lectures, almost like she just wants to get it over with. And this class is my 2nd most important class out of my 4 classes but it's the one I pay least attention to out of the 4 because of the lack of commitment from my professor.
That’s really inspiring and good If you don’t mind me asking, were you an engineering major, because that would even be more inspirational,
As someone who's always afraid of and feel super anxious while writing my maths test after watching this I felt confident in my decision of taking maths as a subject in high school. I hope I'll improve myself more in the future. Thanks for the tips!

This video was very helpful. You don’t understand how stressful it can be to feel like you lack the “math gene” when your peers are catching on to problems before you! I will DEFINITELY be using this method when solving my problems.
@Prodigious147 apparently it's a whole book, go figure
She understands how stressful it can be or she would not have done the video.
is it just me or the speaking audio is unbalanced?
Yeah it’s like they’re inside and outside at the same time
Yeah happening here too
I had headphones and the sound was only coming to right ear. Special sounds were coming to my left ear 🤷♀️
With me also
It's unbalanced
Success in Math is definitely a cumulative progression; missing one bit of knowledge in the chain can completely throw you off track when it comes to understanding later concepts. I think this happens to a lot of kids early on and they start to think they're bad a math, when they just didn't grasp a important skill and got left behind. The problem if one decides to pick up math later and give it another go is trying to determine what it was that you didn't understand in the past that caused you to just chuck it all in and become an english major instead.
This. I'm in college studying Culture Studies and Intercultural communication but in elementary I was really bad at math, the teacher was going too fast and I was so discouraged. In middle school I got a different approach to it and found it to be way easier than before, Even though I didn't have enough bases
Agreed
Need help with any topics? I can make dedicated videos on them if you want :)
This is something that happened to me. Got behind on understanding math around 12-14 years old and then in college it was a nightmare trying to grasp way more complex concepts that I couldn't understand bc I didn't have the basics for them.
@@130hwaisame here! I'm currently in highschool and during elementary school and most of middle school I was rly bad at math until I actually started trying different methods like studying maths everyday and paying a lot more attention in class.

I resonate with this video a lot, when I was a kid I never used to study math and failed at most tests except geometry. As I grew up everyone started labelling me as dumb, even my own parents made pretty hurtful comments lol. Randomly I got fed up and started to pickup math in 9th grade, I realised math isn't only about practice but also understanding the fundamental basics of the subject! During the time I studied math in 9th grade I focused on getting my basics dating to almost 4th grade syllabus at times. Slowly but surely I started to realised the recipe for math was to understand how it is solved then solve on your own! A lot of people discourage you from looking at answers, but how you mentioned that an approach to an answer actually tells you about the existing knowledge gaps that needs attention.
Though I did really well in math in 10th grade, I lost traction in 11th and 12th grade but I was still above average, during that time however I was constantly being lazy, solving variety of problems and understanding the approach/intuition to an answer is the key to succeed in any logical subject!
I am in 10th grade and am currently unable to do most 6th grader math, like I am not going to graduate because I don't even have the time to re learn everything
Can you give me a word of advice? I'm also in the process of starting from scratch in Math and I really want to understand the beauty of it.. (P.S I'm starting 9th grade and had not been studying properly for 3 years)
@@Yeehaw0588 I am not sure about your life circumstances but even dedicating an hour to a topic a day can make a world of a difference! When you prioritise and want something, even in a busy schedule you end up making time for it
@@schwarzcoldkilla take things slow, don't compare yourself to your peers, start out on your current syllabi, if you don't understand something look at the answer, if the answer doesn't make sense to you, focus on the topic that makes the answer relevant. That's how I worked on my math skills. If you don't understand something even after studying a topic and looking at an answer, maybe there's an issue with the foundation itself
Wow your story is exactly like mine except I'm in 9th grade phase now
Started studying math from khan academy since may this year, I was a Chinese student's 10 year old level lol I didn't study in June and July much but now as the beginning of September I have finished Algebra 1. Still have problematic points, but I'm proud to not have given up. Throughout my whole life I believed that math wasn't for me, that I'm of "humanitarian" sciences as we call them, had a biggest war with my math teacher and believed I'd never need math. But things have changed, I want a better life and achieve something high, so only math can be my stepping stone to greatness. I hope I can pursue data science, or I want to become best of the best
i used to suck at math and since 2 yrs ago i spontaneously started using this method and it did absolute wonders my grades are so much higher now
Im gonna use them cos im struggling with my engineering degree
@@isagiyoichi5207is it working?

Great video. Practice makes perfect and don't skip on the prerequisites before moving on to more advanced topics. It's advice we hear a lot, but you provided a clear template on how you acted on it.
Barbara Oakley also had a similar experience before going on to becoming an engineering professor. Her books and courses are really popular if anyone reading this comment is looking for more resources. Good luck!
The first few mins of the video where u explained that you were bad at maths and now its your favourite it made me cry im sobbing right now because i used to enjoy doing maths but idk what happened but in 2022 all of a sudden im bad at it and I don’t enjoy it anymore i failed 3 times in maths where i used to get 100/100 back in 2021 :(

Even though I was one of the students who was naturally great at math, I still related to this video. What was really frustrating about A level Math (equivalent to 11th and 12th grade) was that it was primarily a practice-based subject instead of the memory/application subjects I was used to. The only way I could secure the A in Maths in Year 13 was to spend HOURS going over the easiest questions and scaling up to the hardest questions. You can't run before you learn to walk, so it made sense why I couldn't hack the high mark mechanics questions without going over the dead basics.
I've just started A level maths and I'm already so confused!! Any tips?
@@koala6850 CIE?
@@koala6850
1. PROTIP: get to know your calculator. Your A-Level calculator can solve quadratic formulas for you, which saves a lot of time in exams (but make sure you can factorise without one as well, don't rely solely on your calculator).
2. Practice questions are a MUST. I did Edexcel, so I used the practice questions in the textbook. My go-to website for practice questions was "MadasMaths" since it started from DEAD easy questions and built up to the really hard ones
3. You probably won't get it straight away, that's normal so don't beat yourself up. Ask help from your teacher to go through questions step by step until you get it. You can also find walkthroughs of different topics on UA-cam which are also super helpful. If you use madasmaths, there's a walkthrough sheet that goes through each question step by step.
4. LEARN YOUR FORMULAE. You get a formula sheet in the exam, but you'll need to memorise a lot of formula also, especially in year two trig.
Hope this helped! x
I just started yr13 and I hate maths so god damn much, I really regret taking it 😭 I need at least a C (ideally a B) and only just scraped a C in AS level (I was 1 mark in the boundary)…it’s really difficult as well when your teacher couldn’t give a damn about whether you do well or not (he’s out right told us he doesn’t care). I’m getting a math tutor though which will hopefully help.
@@issysomething1077 pure math 3?
Another history lesson - 50 years ago we didn’t have access to solved problems 😢 to study from. My math breakthrough was in algebra in 8th grade. WORD PROBLEMS 😮 . I can still see that day, in that classroom, with the math teacher at my side complementing me on having got a word problem correct. It was a huge mental relief and it was like turning on a light 💡. I then made it a habit of not only doing the assigned math homework but every problem in that chapter. Next year geometry was a challenge but it was OK. I went on to study physics and engineering and retired from a 30 year career as a mechanical engineer at a US Department of Energy scientific laboratory.

sucked at math since 4th grade. Don't need to use math in my life, and I am out of school for decades. I don't know why UA-cam pushed this video, and more so, why I watched it. But it seems like such a good approach. The steps can be applied to many other things we are not "good" at. Thank you!!

@ThomasLee-vs2gu It's not that deep, dude; the dude says that he doesn't use maths in his personal life and is confused that it was recommended to his feed, not the fact that he thinks it's a useless subject in everyday life. Before you call people's comments stupid, you need to read and understand the context of it first.
this is what i was needing so badly - love you for sharing that tip
3:38 resembles the algorithm for solving rubik's cubes with a "meet in the middle" approach, from both the starting problem state looking for transformation steps towards the solution, and also from the solution looking for the reverse transformation steps towards the initial problem state.
Do you have a UA-cam channel, providing on this?

This is very insightful. Learning the answer first turnes an unsolvable and scary mystery into a quest of connecting the dots in between. It's no longer a vague open question, it's a space with defined limitations, the start and the end. This approcah is reducing the anxiety so much. You no longer guess and stumble blindly. Wow.
I can totally relate to the one anecdote here (1:35) in which she recites the scores on her exam. Of all the exams I took in my undergraduate years, I can only recall one specific score: the 37 I got on my first physical chemistry exam (covering thermodynamics). As an A student with an excellent GPA, the only specific score I remember 47 years later was the disaster!
popped up outta nowhere when I REALLY NEED THIS. thank you sm
Difficulty in math can stem from various factors, such as learning style, mindset, or gaps in foundational knowledge. Identifying specific challenges and seeking targeted assistance, like tutoring or alternative learning approaches, can be helpful. Remember, everyone has unique strengths, and improvement is often achievable with the right support and mindset.

throughout the middle school i was really bad at maths, didn't have a clue about what the teacher was writing on the board. then in my last year of middle school i started studying maths by myself, tried to understand the chapters before the teacher taught them in class. you have to thoroughly read the theory and try to solve the questions on your own. this way when the teacher goes through the chapter in class it doesn't go all over your head and actually helps you stay ahead of the class.
I am currently an International Business student and I struggle to this day with math I had such bad teachers that didn't even help the students who needed it because they didn't have the patience for it.
Thank you! I really appreciated this video! I actually used to love math and Science. I fell out of love with math when it became confusing, now you’ve helped me get back on track! 😊

I found that many people actually don't get what is happening but they are too scared to ask so they just pretend they get it. Don't be like them, if you ask you'll not only benefit yourself, but you'll benefit others too.

Awesome video - I think practice for math is key, especially if you're new to it. I'm currently in my undergrad, and it wasn't until my second semester of calculus that I started becoming familiar with the process of solving questions, and struggling less with concepts - especially coming from a very hectic high school experience, where I was constantly moving states and didn't have a consistent education - especially math exposure- for years.
2:15 that is LITERALLY what happens every. single. time. I finally sit down to study math omg
As a mathlete, this is exactly how it's supposed to be done!! When approaching a problem, I'll give myself some time to try to approach it; letting all my curiosities flow out until I either hit a dead end or actually solve it. Let's say if I get stuck. If I don't come up with an idea for the next 2-3 minutes, I look at the solution to understand where the sneaky trick lies.
This works effectively all the time for me and it's not a waste of time spending 1-2 hours on one problem. You apply the concept again by yourself, recalling tricks and remembering your mistakes.
Vow! This video is really great. I wish the teachers told this at school. It would have been so much helpful for me. Thank you Han.
2:10 that was so cute for some reason 😭
Thank you so much for this video! I just graduated High School and want to study physics but my grades in math were pretty bad. I also always wondered why it was so easy for me in the beginning but became so different for me in High School. Many people have told me the same when talking about this subject, things like ''Some people are just bad at math'' and I'd think nothing special about it. No one really knew how to explain it to me.
It's really motivating to hear your story and that you have majored in Math! I will apply the methods and improve.
Now I know how I'll approach math in university with greater confidence and better grades, so thanks :)
i'll be back when i'm more confident at math and better at it. see you guys on the other side.
Han thank you so much, i watched this vid in August last time and i have improved SO MUCH because of these tips. My maths teacher recently appreciated me for improving so much and fingers crossed that i score well in my exams;) Thank you so much ❤️💗
OMG, that's so wonderful!! I am so proud of you! Thank you for letting me know! This comment just made my day❤️
I loved maths..I could understand it even better than other of my classmates...what I stucked in was "Problem solving"..that was a hard part for me, but now I dont think it'll ever be, I was also doing the same as you did being yonger..try to solve on my own until I get the answer and the result is same as you get.
But I think now its gonna change and I'm gonna be good at math! Thanks

Holy carrot! This video for some reason made so much more sense to me and made me introspect in retrospect about the path I chose, where I'd be stuck with problems and not just in Maths but in general science like chem, phy, bio as well, where I'd try to solve it myself anyhow I can without taking much help and study and try to figure out only to keep getting stuck in each step and get frustrated but still do it and at the end wasting a lot of time only to find sometimes I didn't even get the answer. This path, however, isn't the best when you're sitting for competitive exams where you're supposed to be more fast, more efficient and more overall knowledge of everything rather than be stuck trying to get in-depth knowledge of/about one thing (which is the path I took). No regrets though, thank you for making this video, now I know what I didn't do and what should be done to crack those exams. I just wrote this comment to talk to myself and express a bit of my introspection and also boost you in the YT algorithm as a vote of thanks. You're really beautiful too hehe

A tiny tip from me : start with a very easy maths exam possible. Such as a very simple division and equations for kids. It really worked and inspired me to understand more about maths
Thank you so much for this video. I’m definitely in the first category struggling. I had worked out there was a method key like in cookery, but hadn’t got past that bit. I agree a lot of teachers just don’t teach all the steps or even important subjects. Your a star, thanks again.
What you doing is passive learning ie. cramming the solution.
Youl'' forget it after sometime , key is to recall the concept and do whatever you know and then fill in the loopholes.
this video and the advice given was perfect. i’m in my last year of undergrad as a mechEng major and physics and math are still not as intuitive to me as i would like. thank you so much Han !! 💜💜
The maths tips was
According to my opinion
Per days practice maths problem
2) you will study what did schools lesson of maths studied a you will do at your home
3) if your school finished lesson and took lesson weekend days you will finished lesson and now what teacher taking lesson that also you study at weekends
Your experience is so relatable, exactly how I'm feeling now. I have 2 weeks to study and I'm hoping I could go from a 23-at least a pass😭😭
My problem with math was that i would listen to the other teachers telling me that i cant do math and agree with them. But in 4 i surprisingly rose upp with a great teacher 😢❤
oh my god, I think it is your first-ever video and I loved it. I am also an operational research student and now I am so happy that I found an operational researcher who gives ideas about math. I have struggled to even study math since primary education. I will apply all your suggestions in the new semester. thanks a lot
I could relate to every single part of this video. Thank you so much for the insight!!

Omggggg! Thank you, it really helps me. I promise you guys you will gain something good in this video.
I was not bad at maths. It’s one of the teacher who asked me about a problem whose concept had never been taught before ; I was unable to answer it and then she scolded in front of the entire class and put wrong accusations on me that I was talking to the classmates and not studying despite being one of the person who used to come within first three ranks in the class. My nightmare began after that. I became weak in maths and afraid of the subject. My performance became so bad that I just used to get passing marks later on. In my college I decided to leave maths and do pharmacy. As a result now I don’t earn much as compared to those who have done their engineering despite working for long hours in pharma consulting. I regret leaving maths. However then nobody understood me and neither helped me
you've gained one subscriber with this godsend video
Thank you so much for this! it was actually encouraging because for my daily lessons I wanted to do this but felt maybe I was just "giving up." But, it actually really helps save the tears as well as I am actually learning and not just staring into space wondering how I could possibly be so dumb. xD
Thank you, can't tell you how helpful this video and this channel is !
I can totally relate when you mentioned your math scores in high school.😢
my math tip: if you encountered any hard math problems, then try to spend about 30-40 minutes ( depends on the difficulty) on that problem to understand it properly. How? by using every math formulas ( anything u know about math) u have learned and apply all of it into that problem, mostly u just need remember the formula by heart and u are good to go because 50% are remembering formulas and 50% are solve a particular math problem with it ( let me know if my english grammar is bad or not :)) )
There’s also teachers that can’t teach math yet teach it, teachers have an impact on learning and we can’t have teachers that can’t teach.
Yes.
This is my approach too! I find looking at answers, and understanding them and then tackling the rest of the problems makes such a difference. Otherwise I just get frustrated and confused, and I can't progress.
Thank you for the video. It has a lot of helpful tips. I suggest you check the audio. I can only hear your voice with my right earbud while the music is played by both sides.

What you you said makes sense from my point of view and I will from now on use everytime I'm studying maths❤️🤗😊
Thank you for this! I have serious math phobia and it's stifling me from considering STEM career paths.
Its really motivating that it came from a student who went from not doing well in a subject and being the best student in class
I was fairly good at math but when the concepts got more complicated and I could no longer see how anybody could actually apply them in real life, I just gave up. And when I asked teachers what practical value some concepts had, they treated me like I was an idiot or made fun of me for it. I particularly liked word problems because they actually showed you those concepts could be applied in real life. So teachers, please keep in mind that some of us learn wayyyyyy better when we think that what we're learning has practical value because otherwise, it just feels like a waste of time which makes it incredibly HARD to pay attention.
As a graduate math student I think word problems really, really do not the applications of math justice. Math is probably the most human of all endeavors yet it is very rarely taught in that way. Often it is taught as a cut and dry thing. But it's not. More than anything math is a problem solving approach. Those algebra rules that they make you learn in high school? They are , for the most part arbitrary from a mathematical point of view. Of course, some of them are there for consistency, but I'm trying to get down to the fundamental axioms of it all.
We invented algebra to deal with real world problems, on a much larger scale than the petty and far-fetched word problems students are given to solve. We of course made a set of rules to go along with it, because these rules reflect things that happen in our real world problem. To draw an analogy, you've got a flathead screw to screw in, but you don't have a flathead screwdriver. Now you must improvise, but you already know that you need something thin, rigid and pointy to screw your screw in. This is math, you're defining the essential features, or rules, that your tool, your solution to the problem should have. Now you find a knife, which meets all of these properties. The knife is algebra, a tool to solve your problem. Of course, you can abstract away the screw and the knife and whatnot, and study the properties of objects that are thin, rigid and pointy. Here you're doing math again: abstraction. But few people teach math this way. V.I. Arnold and Russia in general was a huge proponent of math by intuition, which is how so many Russians became good at math. Arnold was a little extremist (I really, really disagree with his view that math is part of physics), but really, math embodies more of the human history, human spirit and human ingenuity than any of the humanities.
my right ear learned so much from this video😊
It is the thumbnail that attracted me😅
Thanks for it! I have decided to adopt your method from today I hope I'll improve! THANKS AGAIN!
Finally , after thousand years, I've found a very fresh relaxing video especially about maths 😁🤝.
I'm very weak in maths still now.
This video gave me a very chilling and special ideas to learn.
I don't know whether i can understand maths in my entire life, but I've learnt that smart work along with hard work is the key for every success 🤝😌.
Nys, new subscriber here 🥰👍.
Waiting for more interesting ones 😌.
Tomorrow is my maths exam! Wish me luck
Amazing video!
People who only kept the left ear bud thinking there is only music and no audio
(Im people)
Chemistry math just flew right over my head today.
This is super good advice! I used to be decent at maths until i was off school for months with an illness, and when i went back i was really struggling. Thankfully, because I had a good maths teacher and i was determined to try i improved a bit in class. What mainly helped me though is my dad who's a maths teacher would sit with me and help me through my homework. Im hoping i get a good maths teacher this year but if not atleast I have my dad! Anyways, my point is that you dont need a parent with a degree in this to help you, going over the steps in the problems in practices really does help!
Wow, I didn't know I needed this!🥰
The math network is way too true. When I joined geometry class, some stuff I really couldn't understand simply because I never learned the pre-basics before starting the class (I started the class mid-way, it was an outside program). Basically, if you don't know something you probably forgot or you really didn't learn what you should have learned.
And the way to solve this issue works as well. For geometry, I kinda just did a lot of questions with the class and kinda just got through without learning the pre-requisites (You learn the theroems and formulas you missed while doing these practice questions)
