What is the "Best Way" to learn a new concept?

Question

I know it may sound cliche but the best way to learn a new concept in mathematics is to practice! I can provide practice problems and answers or other resources such as online games or practice videos.

Answer 1

The best way to learn a new concept is to involve as many of the five senses as possible. This will ensure that you make many connections to the concept and are able to associate the new learning to already existing background knowledge. Some ways would be to have visuals. For example, as a student you may want to include a quick sketch of the concept as you take notes. As you review, you may want to also watch a video explanation of the concept to now add another layer of exposure. Writing and orally repeating definitions and key concepts also improve learning.

Answer 2

The first practice a learner should make habit when learning a new concept is to be open to learning. An instructor or teacher must give reason and establish a why factor that boost student interest that widens the capacity and motivation to learn. After that it is all about connection to content and prior knowledge. Concepts build on each other and the instructor must guide a student through recognizing how concepts relate and contrast with each other. The next step is to practice identifying the concept in daily life and in examples through modeling and breaking it down into steps. All of these habits working together will eventually achieve mastery of a concept.
