The Most Effective Way To Handle 5th Grade Math Homework


One of the subjects in which many 5th graders struggle is mathematics. Many student not only experience low motivation to handle related assignment, but also give up completely. However, you can overturn the situation using one or a combination of the following ways of dealing with 5th grade math homework.

  1. Device a time-bound approach: Dealing with a single mathematics problem over and over again can be frustrating especially if the right answer is not forthcoming. However, the more you stay on a single problem without getting the right solution, the more likely you will become discouraged and lose motivation and confidence to tackle others. Besides, getting it wrong on a single problem does not mean you cannot get others correct, so learn to call the shot at the right time. Using a time bound criteria helps to avoid wasting too much time on problems you can't solve and forge to those that you can easily get correct. After you are through with these ones, return to those that were skipped.

  2. Try out a number of procedures: Not many sums lack an additional procedure to tackle, whether it is figuring your way out or following step by step procedures set out in coursework books, explore additional ways to solve sums. What comes out of this is improvement of your ability and encouragement to reason out, which makes it better to solve difficult sums. It also helps you to find the easiest and fastest procedures to solve future assignments.

  3. Develop prediction skills: Research supports the fact that it is possible to develop a sense of prediction even at an early age. You might not be able to predict the right answer to a problem, but try predicting a course in which a solution will follow.

  4. Take note of repetitive calculations, procedures and methods: Long term practicing will teach you that it is easier and quicker to deal with problems that have been encountered before. How fast you notice the repetitive sums, methods and procedures could make the difference. You can always write down those that appear to be very repetitive and reflect on them during your free time.

  5. Understand your study/learning curve: This one eases out learning: Sometimes, you will not understand anything but other times of the day you are at peak. Some of us will find it easier to study difficult subjects early in the morning, while others find it better in the evening. Do not just copy timetable from friends without understanding your needs in relation to this. You can also discuss it with parents and teachers. Write down a timetable based on what best time you feel motivated to read and/or do sums.
