How to Find an Effective Way to Think of a Solution when Trying to Solve Them

Others have recommended practice, practice, practice. I recommend changing your level of understanding for the subject of math so you can “find an effective way to think of a solution when trying to solve them.”

Do to this, I recommend you find a tutor, form a study group, locate a volunteer minister or other person or persons that can help you with just one action. Even though it is simple, I don’t think you will be able to do this action all by yourself.

Once you have found this person or formed this study group, you need to do this little program.

First you need to learn this definition for understanding:

“To have a clear and true idea or notion of something, or full and exact knowledge of something.” This is learned as a skill in itself.

Second, locate one word you do not understand, that you have not understood, that you have gone past, in the subject of Math. Define that one word. You define it in a special way. First you locate the most appropriate meaning in a good math glossary, or text book, or dictionary. You clarify that one definition first, read some sample sentences, use that meaning in sentences that connect that meaning to what you will be doing in life. Make up some examples of how that concept can be used in life. Demo how you could apply the concept to things in life. You demo this several times till you can think of an effective way to apply it to things in your life, more or less instantly. This might take 10 or more sentences, 5 or more examples and 3 or more demos. Then you define the other common definitions. You just have use each of these in sentences until you make it your own. Then learn the etymology, and any usage notes, or idioms. You do this technique with any word you define in this program.

Third, you locate an earlier word you did not understand in the subject of math. You define that. You keep locating earlier words in the subject of math. When you and your tutor, or your study group locate and define the earliest one I would expect the following: Your ability to learn the subject of math should increase dramatically, all of your understanding for the subject should return, your willingness to learn the subject should go way up, your capacity to understand and your willingness to understand the subject should go way up, and your ability to “find an effective way to think of a solution when trying to solve them.” should be way better. If this does not happen. Let me know. I would not expect this to be more 10 words. But no matter how many words you find, it will worth it.

After you find and define that first word in the subject you then restudy your materials from just before that time in your life, forward from there, up to where you are now in your studies now. Do not go past a word you do not understand fully. Define each word that you do not fully understand in this way.

This all should not take longer than 8 hours. If it does let me know.

Now is the time to practice. But with one more special thing. Each time you find, if you do, a problem that seems too difficult for you at this new level, you stop. Look it over and with your study group, find the word that is blocking your understanding of that problem. in this case you might not have covered the knowledge you need to solve the problem. In this case you need someone that can solve that sort of problem to point out what math material you need to master to do that sort of problem. Keep locating these progressively harder problems and locating the people that do know how to solve them.

Good luck on your adventure. Let me know from time to time how things are going if you do decide to use my program as written.
