True but you forget, we all learn in different ways, I've found the organic chem teacher and honestly, I can't focus on videos, my brain simply does not work that way, I learn mostly by doing
This is so true of many people.
I was a professional game developer for two decades. I was never formally trained, I am completely self-taught.
I must break things apart and build them up from the individual molecules, in order for me to understand things.
When I learned trigonometry in school, or should I say when they attempted to teach it to me, it flew over my head like a flock of birds. I could understand none of it nor could I understand any of the reasons.
When I started to develop an obsessive passion for programming when I was around 14, and I needed to figure out how to shoot a bullet out of a cannon at a certain angle and break down the components of motion into x and Y... I felt like I invented trigonometry myself in about 3 hours.
People are weird and everybody approaches things differently. I could see myself beginning to Intuit calculus concepts with a game, but at the same time I think it's such a specialty ask that it's not realistic.
As you watch the videos, you can follow along on paper. Pause the videos to try to figure out what to do.
I’ve also found that using a mix of colors works really well as you are working problems. If you are learning composition of functions, try putting each function as a different color. Or if you are in calc and doing integration by parts, again color code each function.
Another tool is to do T chart notes. Write the math step on the left hand side, and the explanation for each step on the right. Think about why you are doing each step.
Gamifying stuff seems very appealing, but Duolingo I don’t think has shown itself as being effective long term.
Gonna stop you right there boss, I have been on this earth 30 years. Trust every method of trying to follow along, that I have tried.
And I think people are getting too hung up on Duolingo, that's just the closest thing I can compare to.
what I personally need is repetition. And nothing has been more effective that whoever coded the algebraic problems in blackboard. It pulls up a generated problem from a set or concept, I work it out on paper and input it into the input, which uses either math text or latex. Its fantastic. Except you can't pull up problems on demand and it's not in a mobile format so it's a bit of work getting in practice on the go.
