Albert Einstein once said "It’s not that I’m so smart, it’s just that I stay with problems longer."

Albert Einstein (1879 – 1955) was a theoretical physicist, philosopher and author who is widely regarded as one of the most influential and best known scientists and intellectuals of all time. His reflections lay on my mind as i ventured to write this blog on preparing for SAT Math, a key test that every college aspirant in North American dates, battles and succeeds in before embarking on an academic journey that will eventually shrine the rest of his or her life.

This blog will start with focusing on the three key learning behaviors for excelling in Maths.

1. Memorization

2. Imagination and Problem Solving

3. Repitition

The content in this blog is geared to help kids score in SAT and ACT Maths by harmonizing problem solving with the above three behaviors. 

Recipe for success: Study while others are sleeping; work while others are loafing; prepare while others are playing; and dream while others are wishing.” ~ William A. Ward

DAY 1 (UNO)

➹ Memorization

      (a+b)² = a²+ b²+ 2ab
      (a-b)² = a²+ b² - 2ab

➹ Imagination & Problem Solving

⇰ [1]  If a² - 1= (a-b)² , What is the value of a?
    
      (A)  -1    (B) 0    (C) 1     (D) -2  (E)  -6


⇰ [2] If  |b-11|  =  9, what are the two possible values of b?
     
     (A) 20, -2   (B) -20, 2   (C) 20,2    (D) -20,-2   (E)  2,-2




➹ Repetition

It's day one of your practice and hence nothing to repeat. Take an early break and enjoy a little time off.
