What should I do? (opinions please!)

So, I have a bit of a problem....

Last year, I got amazing grades in math. I got a 98% average in math 10-1.But now, my grade is 60.2% average in math 20-1 AND declining. It's because of my teacher... [She's new... This is her FIRST год teaching. She's like the 'experimental' teacher on us students.]

She explains it once, says "Okay, get it?" waits two seconds, and then moves on. She gives us about 28 Вопросы to do a день from a workbook (which my professional grade 10 teacher despises) everyday from the lesson she taught us, and if we don't do it, then we have to stay in her class at lunch. But she doesn't take our homework for marks.

But math is important to me! I Любовь it! I don't even understand 20-1 trigonometry! I NEED good marks in math in order to become an architect! It's my dream! And I also need to be doing good in school in order to go on my class trip to Япония in March! And math is the only thing that's holding me back!

So what do I do? I have a test on Tuesday, which I KNOW I won't be prepared for because I don't understand it! I had to miss review on Friday because of my Grandad's funeral... (he died last Saturday) But my teacher still wants me to go through with it! And she KNOWS I don't understand it! She keeps telling me to go to the school website, but that won't work because of my computer!

Do Ты know any good tutoring websites? Youtube? Are Ты good at factoring trinomials? If so, can Ты help me? Please, just anything.. Give me your opinion on what I should do! It would be very much appreciated...

khan academy is really good (:

Ты could also get a tutor, that's what my little sister when she needed help! it could be a friend who's really good at math, another teacher from your school who would help Ты (maybe your Назад one if she's willing to help Ты after school?) или an outside of school organization. i doubt your parents would mind Ты asking for extra help, they probably want Ты to do well ^^

Study. lots and lots, if Ты Любовь math it will be easy, do practice tests (which Ты can find online).


Tell the principal that she isn't doing a proper job.

At the risk of sounding like an American helicopter parent (which I'm not!), Ты need to get a parent involved here. Ты had a death in the family, and normally that should give Ты some kind of time allowance for tests, etc. That's only reasonable.

I stunk at trig; there are reference Книги out there, but off-hand I wouldn't know which one to recommend.

Try to work on pulling up your grades, and talk to your classmates. Chances are, you're not the only one who is confused by her teaching methods. If there are several of you, then Ты approach her. If she's not receptive to your comments, then Ты go to guidance, или whoever is Далее in the chain at your school. And your parents still need to be involved.

Ты also have your past good marks as evidence that perhaps this teacher doesn't quite know what she's doing. Math builds on prior concepts, so it's not as if Ты suddenly forgot everything.

Good luck and don't let that trip get away because of one clueless teacher.

Okay I'm not much use with math even though I'm alsonin trig.
But first tell the principal the teacher is not doing her job. Try and find a tutor, type in the math problem on the net and sometines Ты can find explanations. And I know Ты hate her but have Ты spent any one on one time with the teacher? They tend to teach better one on one. Plus don't worry so much one год of bad grades in math WILL NOT kill your dream of being an architect- I promise Trust me.

Spend extra time studying and ask someone to help Ты understand it. Look it up on the internet, go through websites that do tutor studying i.e. help Ты with specific math problems and such. If that doesn't help, then get a tutor and contact your school (get your parents to do that part) to tell them that Ты can't understand the math problems, because your teacher isn't approaching study with the right strategy или attitude. That should help.

Jeez, trig? I'm only in Algebra II...well I would ask her to slow down a little bit since Ты can't seem to keep up very well. About getting your 60% grade up...all I can say is ask for еще practice. Can Ты go to another math teacher for tutoring? Ты can in my school, like, if one teacher doesn't teach as well или Ты just don't get it.
