Be an active participant and do just become an active spectator

Mathematics is a subject that do not allow you to remain as a mere spectator.  It is important to note that many concepts in mathematics are related and also linked. And in order to gain expertise in mathematics you should always try to establish connection with the concepts. The more connection you make, the greater will be your understanding.

Practice as much as possible

Practice always makes a man perfect and this golden rule is applicable in case of mathematics too. Some students need more practice while some students require less practice. You may wish to practice a particular mathematical concept till it makes any sense and till you are fluent in finding solutions to different problems.  When you solve seven types of question, then it can be said that you have arrived at some sort of understanding. For more understanding you should re-visit questions few times later and then check if you are capable of solving these problems. Make sure that you check worksheet section for practical examples.

Do few additional exercises

You first take up one of the courses available in the market and practice more and more till you are confident to play such instrument perfectly. Try to set realistic goals. For your instructor may ask you to solve one to twenty questions. It may work well for you but for others this goal may exceed. Depending on your fluency or understanding with mathematical concepts, you need to practice to achieve expertise.

Work in groups!

Few people wish to work on their own. However while solving problems, you may also take help of your friend. Sometimes your friend may help you clarify your concept and look at it differently. In real life too, you seek advice from other people. The same thing is applicable in case of mathematics. Your friend also discusses vital steps and allows you to solve the mathematical problems easily.

Explain as well as question

Make sure that you explain how you solve mathematical concepts to your friends from time to time. You can either write down the steps in a piece of paper or even directly speak to them and explain the varied ways you have adopted to solve the mathematical problems or exercises. According to experts, people retain seventy percent of what is being discussed with other people. It will also help you to improve your own understanding.
