If your math students struggle with knowing how to study for math, this checklist could minimize their confusion and help guide them towards better habits!

I have used this in my own high school classrooms & have seen more success with teaching students how they study for math than before I gave it to them!

What you get:

- A checklist with 2 sections:

--- Section 1: Are you prepared to study?

--- Section 2: Did you study properly?

- 4 versions

--- half sheet no color

--- half sheet color

--- full sheet no color

--- full sheet color

Here's a little story :)

Year after year I would announce an exam for WEEKS & then the day of the test I would inevitably get “oh no! There is a test today?!”

When I asked students if they studied for a math test the response was ”it’s math. You can’t study anyway”

This led me down a really long path of trying to figure out how to help students succeed in math.

I started by working on having students understand the WHY behind each topic so they naturally knew how to go about problem solving.

That worked for a few and still students weren’t studying!

I began asking my students a list of questions to determine if they studied. Most of the time the answers were “no”.

”Did you re-do the questions we did in class?”

Response: Why would I do that? The answers are right there anyway!

To make a very long story a littler shorter, I came up with a checklist that I handed out. Every time there was an exam my students would use the checklist to try and complete every single box! From planning to study to actually studying, the more boxes they completed the better they did!
