A little over 9 years too late but I just came up with a kind of acronym for the example of the 6 states in the rocky region 32:28: W. CUMIN or W(hy) CUMIN W - Wyoming C - Colorado U - Utah M - Montana I - Idaho N - Nevada Though it is not as creative as the acrostics style presented by Scott, I find that 'W. Cumin' could be another strategy to remember the 6 states in the rocky regions. The simple phrase": 'Why Ground Cumin? 'Why' - sounds a lot like Wyoming 'Ground' - you could think of the rocky region 'Cumin' - the 5 Cumin acronym states being Colorado, Utah, Montana, Idaho, and Nevada

Your class should be required (non negotiable) starting in JR High, then in High School and an elective in college. Since I was young, I had this hunger for learning. For different reasons, I feel, I did not received the academics that I felt ready to get. (Coming from a small town in another country.) Thank God for social media. I have learned so much of what interest me. (Latin, French, geography, History etc.) I graduated from CSUStanislaus. I worked soooo hard and made the Dean’s List. I’m retired after teaching 20 + years. I would love to go back to school and work for a Master’s degree. ( JUST BECAUSE.) learning these strategies to study makes my interest stronger. THANK YOU 🙏

@richardfredlund38023 жыл бұрын
This is really wonderful advice, I wish there were more videos like this on youtube. one of the great things about maths is that many things are actually interconnected, in such a way that you can if you understand it correctly, reconstruct the information you need. I only ever memorised by rote the formula for quadratic equation, and a few other things. e.g. differential of u*v = u'*v + u*v' . Then if I need the equation for integration by parts, I don't have to remember it, I can integrate both sides to get it. With relatively few exceptions if you know and understand the definition, and you also understand the proofs, that's all you need to actually remember. In fact some of the very good mathematicians remember very little other than this. I had a lecturer at university who had not memorised the quadratic equation, he simply solved each time by completing the square. The less you need to remember the more you understand. This is very particular to mathematics and is not the case with other subjects. mathematics is a very difficult subject for students who don't understand it, because they have to memorise a lot, (and maths facts are not fun to memorise, they're dry and uninteresting, even facts in a subject like history or geography are more interesting). some of these students manage to remember all these things and plow through by sheer hard work. The irony is there is no way I could remember all that stuff, .. and I'm even impressed that they can do it, .. but when it comes to a new problem they haven't seen before, despite knowing much less, I can probably solve it where they can't. That's the big secret to maths, there's the easy way and the hard way. And it's the easy way which is better. If you want to actually be good at maths it's the easy way you should aim for. (counter intuitive as that is, we tend to think of taking the easy way as slacking off or not doing our best.). The easy way is this. Think like a mathematician. How does a mathematician think? Even if you don't know much maths it's quite easy. All you do is take a very sceptical and precise approach. Every statement is either a definition or proved. If it isn't one of those two it isn't maths. To be a mathematician just be very sceptical. Always (about every single line of maths you see) think is this true or not. Is it true by definition? - then it's true. If not what is the proof. This is mathematical rigor. It might seem pedantic (and it is) but if you think like this what you are doing is expanding the set of statements that you KNOW are true. If someone tells you Henry the 8th lived in such and such year, you're ultimately taking someones word for it somewhere down the line. It might be established, and lots of people might believe it, but you can't actually confirm it for yourself. In maths you can and should confirm everything for yourself (by always asking how does this follow from the definitions ). Even if you know very little maths, if you start taking this approach of using the mathematical mindset (which is really just a strictly pedantic and rigorous mindset) then you will soon get much better at it that you ever thought possible. The links between things will become much clearer and you will have to remember much less, but perform much better. What's more it will turn from being a dull subject full of diabolically dry 'facts' to memorise, to be being interesting. That's why some people actually do maths for fun, because it is interesting.

I didn't know of the said "thing," but I figured it out before it was mentioned. Diving by 1/4 is the same as multiplying by 4. That could be more beneficial, for most, to expand, rather than just giving a supposed "trick." If dividing by a number
