Hey guys! Today I'll be showing you how I take math notes.
Normally, I take all of my math notes in class during the lecture.
But this demonstration is made possible because I missed a class for cross country,
so I'm just copying the notes back into my notebook.
the supplies I use are: a graph paper notebook,
a black pen,
one highlighter
and for the extra header, I use a brush pen.
During class I will start off by writing the title for the section in pencil
Because I don't really have time to do the calligraphy during class
in the top corner I will put the chapter number and the section number
The lecture will usually start with background facts and formulas and definition and other information that we'll need
So I copy down the definitions, formulas and information that my teacher writes on the board
To make my notes more concise
I won't write down anything that I already know by heart and I use quite a few abbreviations and a lot of paraphrasing
It didn't really apply in this particular lecture
But normally I will also highlight or draw a box around the definitions and formulas that I want to emphasize
After we have all of our necessary background information we move on to doing examples
Usually for the first few the teacher will show all of the steps on the board and explain each one as we go
If there's a particular step that I don't understand intuitively
I'll write a little note on the side that explains why certain things are happening
Or if I need any additional formulas or background information, I will write it next to the example as well
After a few examples done with the whole class. We are given questions to work on by ourselves
So obviously I just do these questions in my notes and if I make mistakes
Obviously I go over them with white-out and write in the correct steps and answers
If I'm struggling to keep up and both understand what's going on and write down the steps
I'll focus on first copying down all of the steps then afterwards
I can either look at my notes and figure it out myself or show the teacher or my friends and ask them to explain
After class I take a minute or so to add in the calligraphy header, so I write out the chapter title using a brush pen
Sometimes I'll also use a black pen if the title is super long
Then I will add the highlighter bars that I do for that style of header that I always do I
