Study Strategies

Checking Your Logic

Review and Reflect

After writing a proof, read each step carefully to make sure it follows logically from the previous one. Ask yourself: "Does this make sense?" and "Did I use all the information correctly?" This habit is key for catching mistakes and building confidence.

Examples

  • Rewriting a proof to fill in missing steps.

  • Asking a friend to check if your argument is convincing.
