what i did (when i was at school) was forget their rulings as to the methodology of finding solutions to the questions they posed, and i found a way to solve the problems by myself using mental mechanisms that i thought of, and after that i could answer their questions, but i could not recite anything about their rules that they imposed upon the generation of my answer.

some people suggested that i was cheating in some way, but without proof, and with my continued ability to answer the questions they posed, they had to accept that i had an understanding of what they were trying to teach me, even if they could not see where it came from.


that is not advice to you, but a commentary on my own experience that maybe vaguely pertinent.

Like b9, i aways used some unusual methods aswell to solve math problems, specially geometry, you've got to understand and see math, like a visual representation, aways worked for me, try taking physics classes, and soon you'll be better at math too!

The problem is that the OP does not say what type of maths problem is taxing them so much. Different types of maths problems need different methods. I have found that calculas to be just like a gaint spelling bee with little clear pattern in it.

Sorry Lisaa,
I do not think Khan Academy can help your friend with specific answers.

It teaches you how to solve problems, but it is certainly not a free question service, :( .

If your friend finds some time, maybe he/she could look up the area the question originates from, i.e. algebra, trigonometry, calculus, and find an instruction to the principle amongst the videos, which in turn could help to solve his/her problem, :) ?

Here is a link to the collection of videos on Khan Academy.
Right at the top of the web page you will find 'jump to playlist Math, Science, Humanities, etc.'. If you click on 'Math' it will offer you also a drop down menu to choose from, this might save you some time.
