I am stuck on my math homework.
Now what?
1. Re-read the question. Look for key words. Underline, circle or copy important information.
2. Review your class notes or past homework. What was the last lesson about? How might this problem be related?
3. Are there unfamiliar words or concepts? Look them up in Math On Call.
4. Try making a drawing, a table or a diagram of the problem.
5. Call a friend who will give you good hints and advice (not answers).
6. Take a chance! Sometimes a problem gets clearer once you start working on it. Talk it through with someone at home.
7. If you have done all of the above and still are stuck, put down your pencil and set your alarm for a few minutes earlier. Come to the math room in the morning before classes start.
