Making the Most of MATHEMATICS

The TEN COMMANDMENTS of Mathematics

You shall read the problem carefully!
Whatever you do to one side of the equation, do unto the other!
You must use common sense or you will have flagpoles 9,000 feet in height and fathers younger than sons!
You shall choose the best strategy for calculations: pencil and paper, calculator, or mental math!
When you do not know, you shall look it up. If you cannot find it, you shall ask the teacher!
You shall check each step before beginning the next!
You shall remember that the correct answer does not prove that you have worked the problem correctly!
You shall first see that you have copied the problem correctly before bearing false witness that the answer key is in error!
You shall look back and use math learned in earlier years!
You shall learn, speak, write and listen correctly in the language of mathematics. Good grades will follow you throughout your schooling!
