Math articles

A calculator gives you the answer. It says nothing about how to sit down with a page of problems and actually work through them, or what to do when the exam starts and your mind goes blank. The articles in this category cover the part of maths that happens around the arithmetic: how to prepare, how to keep your head during a test, which study habits hold up and which only feel productive. Some of them explain the reasoning behind a calculator on this site; others stand on their own. Read the one that matches where you are stuck, or start at the top and work down.
