Math lovers hate memorization
Although most math successes are also gifted at memorizing, they tend to see memorization as the epiphany of all things un-math, something better left to the biologists and pre-meds. Math is all about understanding, understanding how to approach a math problem, go through the steps and solve it. Sure, often there are common types of problems, that eventually become mechanical to solve (as is often the case when solving problems similar to example problems), but you can't memorize every solution path to every type of problem, you need to problem solve.
As can be seen from the way that math lovers (and hence, most math teachers) see their subject, math is a very different beast from other subjects. Math involves going beyond what the book shows you, the minimum homework problems, and memorizing study guides the night before a test. Here are tips for really succeeding in math.
Warm regards,
Miss Maths Lover
