Practice makes perfect, as they say! Sustained repetition is a great way to start building your confidence with any subject and improving your problem-solving skills.
Maths Mentor Daniel says: ‘Setting regular revision times throughout the week, such as 10–15 minutes every third night, is much more effective than looking at the content once after six weeks have gone by. Save yourself the trouble of having to relearn everything once exams roll around.’
You will find useful practice material in both the Maths Support Resource Centre and Foundation Maths Modules which offer great confidence-building activities.
The Foundation Maths Program provides great maths examples, videos and practice questions for you to gauge your current understanding of concepts and bolster your problem-solving abilities before you complete your assessments and exams.
Talk to a Maths Mentor online for some recommendations about what resources you should try or explore these resources in your own time.
Still stuck? Get some one-on-one help
‘Get started early,’ advises Daniel ‘Whether it’s assessments or exam preparation, the sooner you start, the sooner you can detect the things that don’t quite make sense and still have enough time to seek help or clarification’.
Wise words indeed! If you’re deep in the throes of maths revision for an upcoming assessment and something’s not making sense, don’t worry – Maths Mentors will be available during the upcoming intra-trimester break (except the Easter public holidays from 3–7 April when Deakin is closed) until the end of the Trimester 1 study period.
Drop in online to chat with a Maths Mentor today and bring along any maths concepts and problems that you’d like help solving. Please note Maths Mentors can’t review your assignments but they can help you find the answers you need!
