math hater here- i found the best way for me to study was write out the steps in actual english next to an example problem. try writing out the name of the step and why you're doing it or just annotate the problem as you go. it helped me find a lot of patterns! plus i would just write the steps on a sticky note and slap them on top of my practice problems so i always had a reference. good luck!
I do find it helpful to draw arrows and write what I’m doing. It looks messy in my notes but I can’t have cute notes for the life of me. Thank you so much for the help! I need all the study help I can get!
