Learning Strategies
Mathematics is often the most challenging subject for students. Much of the trouble comes from the
fact that mathematics is about logical thinking, not memorizing rules or remembering formulas. It
requires a different style of thinking than other subjects. The students who seem to be “naturally”
good at math just happen to adopt the correct strategies of thinking that math requires – often they
don’t even realise it. We have isolated several key learning strategies used by successful maths
students and have made icons to represent them. These icons are distributed throughout the book
in order to remind students to adopt these necessary learning strategies:
Talk Aloud Many students sit and try to do a problem in complete silence inside their heads.
They think that solutions just pop into the heads of ‘smart’ people. You absolutely must learn
to talk aloud and listen to yourself, literally to talk yourself through a problem. Successful
students do this without realising. It helps to structure your thoughts while helping your tutor
understand the way you think.
BackChecking This means that you will be doing every step of the question twice, as you work
your way through the question to ensure no silly mistakes. For example with this question:
3 × 2 − 5 × 7 you would do “3 times 2 is 5 ... let me check – no 3 × 2 is 6 ... minus 5 times 7
is minus 35 ... let me check ... minus 5 × 7 is minus 35. Initially, this may seem time-
consuming, but once it is automatic, a great deal of time and marks will be saved.
Avoid Cosmetic Surgery Do not write over old answers since this often results in repeated
mistakes or actually erasing the correct answer. When you make mistakes just put one line
through the mistake rather than scribbling it out. This helps reduce silly mistakes and makes
your work look cleaner and easier to backcheck.
Pen to Paper It is always wise to write things down as you work your way through a problem, in
order to keep track of good ideas and to see concepts on paper instead of in your head. This
makes it easier to work out the next step in the problem. Harder maths problems cannot be
solved in your head alone – put your ideas on paper as soon as you have them – always!
Transfer Skills This strategy is more advanced. It is the skill of making up a simpler question and
then transferring those ideas to a more complex question with which you are having difficulty.
For example if you can’t remember how to do long addition because you can’t recall exactly
ାହ଼଼ଽ
ସହ଼
how to carry the one: then you may want to try adding numbers which you do know how
ାହ
to calculate that also involve carrying the one: ଽ
This skill is particularly useful when you can’t remember a basic arithmetic or algebraic rule,
most of the time you should be able to work it out by creating a simpler version of the
question.

Format Skills These are the skills that keep a question together as an organized whole in terms
of your working out on paper. An example of this is using the “=” sign correctly to keep a
question lined up properly. In numerical calculations format skills help you to align the numbers
correctly.
This skill is important because the correct working out will help you avoid careless mistakes.
When your work is jumbled up all over the page it is hard for you to make sense of what
belongs with what. Your “silly” mistakes would increase. Format skills also make it a lot easier
for you to check over your work and to notice/correct any mistakes.
Every topic in math has a way of being written with correct formatting. You will be surprised
how much smoother mathematics will be once you learn this skill. Whenever you are unsure
you should always ask your tutor or teacher.
Its Ok To Be Wrong Mathematics is in many ways more of a skill than just knowledge. The main
skill is problem solving and the only way this can be learned is by thinking hard and making
mistakes on the way. As you gain confidence you will naturally worry less about making the
mistakes and more about learning from them. Risk trying to solve problems that you are unsure
of, this will improve your skill more than anything else. It’s ok to be wrong – it is NOT ok to not
try.
Avoid Rule Dependency Rules are secondary tools; common sense and logic are primary tools
for problem solving and mathematics in general. Ultimately you must understand Why rules
work the way they do. Without this you are likely to struggle with tricky problem solving and
worded questions. Always rely on your logic and common sense first and on rules second,
always ask Why?
Self Questioning This is what strong problem solvers do naturally when they
get stuck on a problem or don’t know what to do. Ask yourself these
questions. They will help to jolt your thinking process; consider just one
question at a time and Talk Aloud while putting Pen To Paper.

Useful formulae and hints
To add fractions of different denominators, change one or both
to equivalent fractions with a common denominator
To multiply fractions, multiply the denominators, multiply the
numerators and simplify if necessary
To convert fractions to decimals, divide the numerator by the
denominator (but learn the simpler conversions by heart)
To convert fractions to percentages, convert to decimal and
then multiply by 100 (but learn the simpler conversions by
heart)
To convert percentages to fractions, remove the percent sign,
put the number as the numerator of a fraction with 100 as the
denominator, then simplify the fraction if necessary
To convert decimals to fractions, the numeral(s) after the
decimal point form the numerator. The denominator is 10 if
the numerator has one digit, 100 if the numerator has 2 digits
ସଵ ଶଵଷ
etc. Example:0.7 = ,0.41 = ,0.213 = . Simplify

fraction if necessary
To convert a recurring decimal, set the recurring part equal to a
variable, multiply by 100 and solve
o = ݔ0. 1̇ 1̇
o 100 = ݔ11. 1̇ 1̇
o 100 = ݔ11 + ݔ
o 99 = ݔ11

Distributive law: (ܽ × ܾ) + (ܽ × ܿ) = ܽ(ܾ + ܿ)

When solving inequalities, if we multiply both sides by a
negative number, the inequality sign is reversed

Chapter 6: Plane Geometry Exercise 3: Pythagoras’ Theorem
3) A man walks 5 km east then turns and walks 8 km south. How far is the shortest distance
to his starting position?
4) A ladder 2 meters long is placed against a wall and reaches 1.5 meters up the wall. How
far is the foot of the ladder from the base of the wall?
5) A farmer wishes to place a brace across the diagonal of a rectangular gate that is 1.8
metres long and 0.6 metres wide. How long will the brace be?
6) A square room measures 11.7 metres from corner to corner. How wide is it?
7) The size of television sets are stated in terms of the diagonal distance across the screen.
If the screen of a set is 40 cm long and 30 cm wide, how should it be advertised?
8) A student has two choices when walking to school. From point A, he can walk 400
metres, then turn 90° and walk a further 200 metres to point B (school), or he can walk
across the field that runs directly from A to B. How much further does he have to walk if
he takes the path instead of the field?
