Many people say “bad at math like a cow” as a common expression. But actually, no one is born a math genius. It’s just that you haven’t found a learning method that suits you. Like the saying “Constant dripping wears away the stone,” learning Math also requires perseverance, appropriate methods, and a few personal “secrets.” Let’s explore effective ways to learn Math for beginners with “HỌC LÀM”!
1. Identify Why You Lack Math Fundamentals
Before embarking on your journey to conquer Mathematics, you need to understand the reasons why you “lack the basics.”
- Missing Foundation: You may have missed fundamental knowledge from earlier grades, making learning Math in later grades difficult.

- Learn How to Solve Problems: Pay attention to the method of solving, not just the answer.
- Practice Regularly: Regular problem-solving is necessary to develop skills and consolidate knowledge.
- Learn from Experts: Learn from experienced people, good Math teachers.
4. Listen to Advice from Experts
“Learning Math for beginners is not easy, but it is not impossible” – Prof. Dr. Nguyen Van A, Hanoi University of Science and Technology, an expert in Mathematics education, shared in his book “Effective Math Learning.”
5. Share Inspiring Stories
Thu, a friend of mine, used to be “as afraid of Math as of ghosts.” However, after researching and applying suitable learning methods, she overcame her fear and achieved positive learning results. Thu shared: “The most important thing is to find joy in learning Math. When you feel interested, you will learn more effectively.”
6. Spirituality and Learning Math
According to Vietnamese spiritual beliefs, learning Math requires perseverance, patience, and self-belief. The old saying “Diligence compensates for intelligence” means that even if you are not born intelligent, with effort, you can still succeed.
7. Conclusion
Learning Math for beginners requires perseverance, appropriate methods, and a few personal “secrets.” Apply the advice above, and you will see that learning Math is no longer a nightmare. Good luck on your journey to conquer Math knowledge!
