This will show your instructor that you're interested in improving your class performance. Regular attendance will also decrease the amount of time you'll need to spend studying the class concepts, since you'll already have heard them presented in class. Going to each class will also allow you take comprehensive notes, rather than relying on borrowing notes from a friend. If you miss a class, send an email to your teacher beforehand and ask what information you'll miss. Also ask if there's a way to make up any in-class assignments you won't be able to complete. in the classroom discussion. Listen to the concepts your teacher explains in class and follow along when they show problems on the board. Being an active participant will show your teacher you're engaged and making an effort to learn. You'll pick up more math skills and knowledge, and start performing better on homework and tests. Plus, you'll start to enjoy math more! Try to avoid looking out the window, daydreaming, or letting your mind wander to your after-school plans. Also stay off your phone and computer while you're studying (unless you're using them to look up something math-related). While these activities may seem more enjoyable than following the math lecture, too much daydreaming will result in poor math grades. during classroom lectures. Listen carefully when your instructor speaks, and write down everything they draw or write on the board. When learning a certain concept, try to compile a list of steps to review later. When your teacher writes examples on the board, copy them down as well as how to solve them for future reference. Say that your teacher is going over how to find the area of a triangle. You'd want to write something like, "Area = half of the base (b) height (h). If b = 20 and h = 10, the area = 100." Also draw a figure of a triangle with the base and height clearly labeled. If you take sloppy, incomplete notes, you'll struggle to pick up the math concepts. Worse, you'll perform poorly on tests and your grade will suffer. It's not uncommon for students with poor math grades to avoid asking questions in class because they feel that they'll be embarrassed if they don't know something. In reality, asking questions of your teacher is one of the best ways to resolve any confusions you may have. If you're confused or don't understand something, raise your hand and ask a question! Chances are, you're not the only one confused. For example, you could ask something like, "I didn't quite understand what you said about the order of operations. Am I always supposed to solve equations within the parentheses first?" Or ask, "Can you remind me of the difference between reflection and rotation in geometry?" If you feel shy or nervous during class, speak with your instructor afterwards. Or, try sending an email if you feel a little shy about speaking with the teacher. If you're in high school or college and your teacher keeps regular office hours, stop by and chat about whatever math questions you may have. When you start the test, first solve all of the questions that you feel confident about. Then, if you have time, go back to questions you don't understand as well and take a stab at them. Write out the steps to the solution and the answers clearly. Once you've finished taking the test, check over your answers to make sure you've given the correct information. Pace yourself while you're taking the test, and don't put pressure on yourself while you're working. Do keep an eye on the clock while you're taking the test, though, so you don't run out of time partway through. If a teacher spots where you made a mistake during your solution to a problem, they may show you how to avoid making the same mistake again in the future.

Incognito mode keeps the websites you visit from placing cookies on your computer. If a website notices that you've searched for the same flight multiple times, it will often automatically raise the ticket prices. If you browse in Chrome or Safari, press Control + Shift + N to open incognito mode. If you use Firefox or Internet Explorer, press Control + Shift + P. Putting your browser in Incognito mode is especially important if you search on different days of the week. Otherwise, old prices will sometimes display in lieu of new ones, and you may miss out on the best price. If you'd rather not use your browser's Incognito mode when looking for tickets, delete your cookies after each visit to a travel site. Aggregator sites are a great tool to use if you'd like to shop around and compare multiple airlines against one another. Type in your departure and arrival airports and days of travel, and scroll through the different flight combinations until you find the cheapest. Many aggregate sites also have a low-fare calendar so you can see which are the cheapest days to travel in a 30-day period. If you don't mind putting in a little more work, visit the cheapest airline's website after you've compared it with others on an aggregator site. Some airlines will offer special deals and discounts if you buy tickets directly from the site. Popular flight aggregator sites include Priceline, Travelocity, and Expedia. Budget airlines can afford to mark down their tickets because they don't offer in-flight conveniences like Wi-Fi, complimentary snacks, and reclining seats. Flying on these airlines can sometimes cost less than half as much as a flight on a more luxurious provider. If you're flying with the U.S., Hawaii, and the Caribbean, check out airlines like Frontier, JetBlue, Southwest, and Spirit. Or, if you're flying in Europe, try booking through Norwegian Air.
