The problem I had with math: too many concepts that were difficult to understand without sufficient time given to learn them.

If you get quickly frustrated with something, remember that research says that you need like 20 to 30 repetitions to remember something. You might even need more with increasing complexity. For math, I usually take a post-it note and write the "recipe" for the concept down and do the first exercises with that. After that, reps, reps, reps.

As a retired math instructor, I can say that this is a very insightful video. The message is not complicated and actually contradicts some common beliefs about education. I hope Han makes more videos. I'd like to get to know this gal!
@sillycatpics722
notes: for myself :) 1. before trying to solve a problem, plan on what to do first, then try to remember from the top of your head, if incorrect or seriously stuck, reread answer key, put it away, and answer again (repeat as much as possible) 2. it's okay to not understand at first try, practice makes perfect !! ♥

The reason Maths is hard is because it teaches abstract concepts without putting them into context of their application and that's unnatural to humans. If you study law you will have real life cases to understand the subject, in medicine you have examinations of patients, in tech you have computer programs that help you understand code logic and data structures, in astronomy you observer the night sky etc. in Maths you can't show in real life what you're learning so people (like me) don't know how to understand it. And it will remain a difficult subject for this reason forever.

This video was very helpful. You don’t understand how stressful it can be to feel like you lack the “math gene” when your peers are catching on to problems before you! I will DEFINITELY be using this method when solving my problems.
@pixieedust777
As someone who's always afraid of and feel super anxious while writing my maths test after watching this I felt confident in my decision of taking maths as a subject in high school. I hope I'll improve myself more in the future. Thanks for the tips!

For me it was my teachers. If they didn’t care, I didn’t care. In a remedial math class I once had a professor tell me “you should know this” after I asked her a question. If I knew the answers, I wouldn’t be taking her class. Simple. Unfortunately after failing the CLEP test I had no choice but to retake the class. Thankfully this time it was with a different professor, very nice man, very intelligent, and suddenly everything clicked for me. Everything I’d failed to learn over all those years in school I finally understood. This professor actually seemed to care about his students’ success (or maybe he just didn’t want to fail anyone, haha). Either way, I noticed he seemed to pay extra attention to me because he would mostly look at me during his lectures. No, he didn’t have a “crush” on me, I was just more attentive than most of my classmates and took it very seriously. I’d come on time, not talk, sit at the front, participate, always take notes, ask questions, come to office hours, come prepared, etc. Call me “teacher’s pet” but I was determined this time to pass because my graduation was at stake. I was even motivated to start going to tutoring almost every day. It was an amazing and emotional transformation for me and I actually started to like math. I had this professor twice, and I advanced to college algebra. I graduated with honors from that school and I’ll never forget that math professor. Having a good teacher in your life really matters.
@NelsonStJames
Success in Math is definitely a cumulative progression; missing one bit of knowledge in the chain can completely throw you off track when it comes to understanding later concepts. I think this happens to a lot of kids early on and they start to think they're bad a math, when they just didn't grasp a important skill and got left behind. The problem if one decides to pick up math later and give it another go is trying to determine what it was that you didn't understand in the past that caused you to just chuck it all in and become an english major instead.
@sanuvithanage
Feeling when you correctly solve a math problem in a test is the best . So much joy for knowing you did it correct
@lily.337
Thank you so much Han for these tips!! I Hate maths soo much and searched everywhere so i can to get better but they didnt really didnt help.. Finally some maths tips which make sense and can help~🌼
@MichelleAjok
BRO IM USING EARPHONES AND THE MUSIC IS IN ONE EAR AND THE SPEAKING IN ANOTHER!
@chihirojun
I actually love doing mathematics and what she mentioned is really the right way. Before I used to barely pass math examinations but now I get full on every single math test! This video is highly recommended to those who find mathematics not their cup of tea. Thank you for these amazing tips!
@Bobjeongin
The first few mins of the video where u explained that you were bad at maths and now its your favourite it made me cry im sobbing right now because i used to enjoy doing maths but idk what happened but in 2022 all of a sudden im bad at it and I don’t enjoy it anymore i failed 3 times in maths where i used to get 100/100 back in 2021 :(
@ae_lix7258
i used to suck at math and since 2 yrs ago i spontaneously started using this method and it did absolute wonders my grades are so much higher now
@yonaseverything2995
Started studying math from khan academy since may this year, I was a Chinese student's 10 year old level lol I didn't study in June and July much but now as the beginning of September I have finished Algebra 1. Still have problematic points, but I'm proud to not have given up. Throughout my whole life I believed that math wasn't for me, that I'm of "humanitarian" sciences as we call them, had a biggest war with my math teacher and believed I'd never need math. But things have changed, I want a better life and achieve something high, so only math can be my stepping stone to greatness. I hope I can pursue data science, or I want to become best of the best :elbowcough:
@sejalheart
I resonate with this video a lot, when I was a kid I never used to study math and failed at most tests except geometry. As I grew up everyone started labelling me as dumb, even my own parents made pretty hurtful comments lol. Randomly I got fed up and started to pickup math in 9th grade, I realised math isn't only about practice but also understanding the fundamental basics of the subject! During the time I studied math in 9th grade I focused on getting my basics dating to almost 4th grade syllabus at times. Slowly but surely I started to realised the recipe for math was to understand how it is solved then solve on your own! A lot of people discourage you from looking at answers, but how you mentioned that an approach to an answer actually tells you about the existing knowledge gaps that needs attention. Though I did really well in math in 10th grade, I lost traction in 11th and 12th grade but I was still above average, during that time however I was constantly being lazy, solving variety of problems and understanding the approach/intuition to an answer is the key to succeed in any logical subject!
@hanzhango
Thank you so much for all the nice comments and love!! 💕 So happy to hear it was helpful :) Sorry for the audio problem. This is my first video and for sure I am going to fix it for the future. But thanks to all the right ears that loved the video✌️
@crweul
I'm so glad YouTube recommended this video to me. It felt like you were describing exactly how I feel about math, so I'm definitely going to apply your strategy and try my best to get better ^^
