What is meant by the phrase Math study is sequential?

Question

What is sequential learning?

Answer 1

Math skills are cumulative. For example, Algebra must be mastered before proceeding to 'higher level' Calculus. In addition to chunking up Math homework, based on school assignments, it is essential to (1) seek assistance from the teacher, classmates and other resources almost immediately, if you are getting stumped and cannot grasp the concepts easily and in a timely manner (2) practice, practice, practice! the concepts until you have mastered them. This will enable you to excel with speed and accuracy in word problems at school, as well as gain practical life skills (3) seek out study groups and/or private tutoring after school. Good luck!

Answer 2

Hi Students: Math is sequential learning which means that it is taught in phases and it builds on itself. The important part of developing study skills is that cramming and trying to 'learn' everything at the last minute will not work. It is better to set up a study schedule for yourself. Determine what time of day that is your best time to study and set that down on your calendar/planner as your regular study time. Determine when you will study and give yourself between 30 mins to 1 hour for the study of math.

The best plan is to do the math homework in chunks everyday. This allows your brain to process the information and helps you to actually learn and retain what you have learned. Next time! Courtney Webb
