Hi! I'm struggling a lot with my dyscalculia and was wondering if you have any tips? I went through your dyscalculia master post and was wondering if you have examples of your notes that you could post? thanks!
Hello!
Unfortunately, I don’t have math classes anymore and my old notes are A)all in Italian and B)I’m not in the same city as these notes right now.
BUT, I do have a post where I explain how I used to take my notes here, so maybe that could help?
Keep in mind that every person is very different and learns in a different way; my method could not work for you.
some tips:
keep it clear - write in a very big font, fill out the entire page with just one step, write every single thing, even if it seems obvious.
highlight what is important - if you need that information, you’ll be able to locate it very quickly.
make functional notes - stop doing things that may distract you while you are looking at the page. Don’t use too many colors, don’t decorate your notes, (unless it helps) they need to be clear and easy to use.
rewrite your notes - it’s an opportunity to make them clear, functional, efficient. Notes taken in class can be messy, not easy to understand and even useless.
These tips are based on the fact that I had access to these notes whenever I took math tests, so that’s why they needed to be very, very functional.
