DONT TAKE ENRICHED MATH UNLESS YOU KNOW MOST OR ALL OF THE CONCEPTS THAT WILL BE TAUGHT IN THAT COURSE. IF YOURE A GENIUS THAT IS AN EXCEPTION TOO. I’m talking from experience, and trust me when I say that enriched math is much faster than academic. You won’t learn as much but you will learn the concepts well and thoroughly compared to enriched. In enriched it’ll likely just be skimming over the main concepts (except linear equations I think, speaking for grade 9 math) and moving on to more difficult things. If you want the challenge though, take it. In math, all you really have to do is study. When I say study, however, that doesn’t mean look through your notes and memorize the formulas and whatnot. Oh no. You need to go above and beyond. You need to hardwire those concepts into your brain and figure out how they can be used in other circumstances. A strong basis in algebra will get you very far in this course. I didn’t have one that strong and I suffered as a result. Nonetheless, if you find yourself struggling, don’t give up! You might feel unmotivated but that’s only gonna lead you down a rocky road. Instead, ask for help! Use math resources to your advantage (Khan Academy). Look up new concepts and how they’re used. If you do these things you’re sure to pass math, enriched or academic. For enriched math (or maybe just Ms. Wun) we don’t use the textbooks. Like ever. If there is homework it’s usually optional and just as a means for more practice. So if you need that do the textbook homework! One other thing. I don’t know about other teachers but I know Ms. Wun does her lessons by writing on the board (using a smart pen or something so it uploads to her computer). She then saves these lessons and posts them in a folder on google classroom. From there, you can see the exact lesson for any day and also the worksheets. In other words, if you weren’t there that day, there’s no reason for you to not do your work. It’s a blessing and a curse I suppose- mostly a blessing, though (I lost my notes halfway through a unit).
