Here are a few tips and tricks to help your grade k-8 students to study math in an easy way. If you like the content you may want to share it with your friends and family.

1) How to multiply any number with 5

If you have an even number which has to be multiplied by 5*, go ahead, take the half of the even number and add a 0 to its side, we have the answer! For example: if its 5*8 , take the half of 8 , which is 4. And then add a 0 which is 40. Yes!!! 5*8= 40

What if it’s an odd number? No worries, we got you covered! For odd numbers, deduct a 1 from the odd number, take the half of it and add a 5 to the side. For example: if its 5*9, deduct a 1 , which is 8 , take half of it , which is 4 , add a 5 which makes it 45..you have got the answer 5*9 = 45

2) Easy multiplications with numbers that end with a “0”
Do you find it tough to add numbers that have way too many 0s in it? There’s an easy way to do it. Multiply your number, collect your 0s, and put them in the end. For example: 1,000 * 7,000
7*1 = 7, now collect your 0s that is total 8 zeros and we’ve got the answer 1,000*7,000 = 7,000,000.

3) Practice your math well

Every subject needs practice; math also needs practice from your part. Practice math solutions from your textbook as well as take in problems from the internet too. This will give you a clear idea of what types of math problems you can expect in this specific topic and you don’t have to get worried when a new type of question appears on the exam.

4) Adding up large sums

It is a headache when you try to add up large numbers! No stress!
Take the numbers, round it up, and add it. Then take the numbers that we rounded , add it up and subtract from the original amount. We have got the answer!
For example: Adding (744 + 367). Round it up which makes it (750+370 = 1120), take the numbers that we rounded up (750 – 744 = 6, 370- 367= 3)
Now add (6 + 3 = 9 ), subtract the (9) from the rounded sum (1120 – 9 = 1111)
Therefore (744+ 367 = 1,111)

5) Focus is the key

Nothing is more difficult than concentrating in a math class, we all get it. Try your level best to put concentration in your math class, so that you don’t miss out on any problems done in the class. Also along with concentrating, find your own creative ways of learning math, which will make learning math more interesting!

To get the most out of your study time we suggest that you:

Customize Your Notes

Note-taking is an excellent studying method for high school and university students. It helps to retain information in an organized way. Here are a few tips to make your notes look amazing:

• Read your textbook or lecture notes
• Summarize the important information you find
• Write what you gather from the read text in your own words
• Make sure to include visuals when needed
• Engage with the materials by answering questions
• Choose between typing and writing according to your preference

Realize that asking for help can be hard

People in general, and students in particular shy away from asking for help. They fear that their peers, and teachers will look at it as a weakness. As a matter of fact, the opposite is true. Asking for help when needed is actually a STRENGTH.
Asking for help from a tutor is the next best thing to asking your teacher in your class. On one hand, a tutor is a qualified person to answer your questions, and reteach you the missed lessons. On the other hand, you don’t need to worry about peer pressure.

Make a Plan

• Take notes during class, and ask any relevant questions. Remember, there is no stupid question!
• Practice on your new learned materials at home and review old material. Don’t procrastinate!
• Check your understanding by answering questions after finishing off a chapter or a unit
• Get organized, and stay on top of your assignments, tests, and due dates
• Stay positive about your learning experience. Remember all hard labour must bear its fruits!

In a typical school year, report cards come home every nine weeks or so. The purpose of report cards is to
communicate about a child’s progress across subject areas. Most report cards also include a Work Habits,
Social Skills, or similar section.

Some kids, especially those having difficulty in school, dread report card time. Here are some suggestions
for making report card time a little less scary and a little more productive.
• Become familiar with the grading system in your district and at your grade. Many schools
use a different report card for K-2 than they use for 3-5. Are letter grades used? A numerical
score from 1-3? Other letters such as O, G, S, N?
• Make sure you understand the different competencies on the report card. Many use vague
descriptors such as “Uses time constructively.” If something is not clear to you, ask your
child’s teacher.
• As you look at your child’s report card, RESIST THE IMPULSE to jump directly to an area
with a lower score. Find an area with a good grade or score and focus on that first. “You did
a great job in _____! You must be so proud of all your hard work.”
• Once you’ve focused on the positive, talk about areas in which your child’s grade was lower.
“Tell me how things have been going in science lately.” Start a safe, open dialogue with your
child about the difficulty he or she might be having with the subject matter.
• Together, develop strategies to help in subject areas that are difficult for your child. Is there
a textbook that needs to come home more frequently? Is there a website that can help with
math fact drills? If you’re not sure how to best help your child, call the teacher to set up a
conference.
• Last, let your child know that she is more than just a report card. Remind her of all the
things that make her special and important in your family. Too much of a focus on grades
can only increase the amount of stress your child feels.
Report cards should not contain any huge surprises about how your child is doing. Most teachers work to
talk with parents if a child is having particular difficulty, whether it’s through interims or informal phone
calls. If that is not the case with your child and his report card, call the teacher to talk about that. An
open, ongoing conversation is the best way to manage everyone’s expectations.
