Math, like learning a foreign language, gets harder the further behind you get, since concepts build upon each other. Therefore, ask questions on the current material, so tomorrow's concepts will be clearer. What you learn today will be foundational tomorrow. If you're having problems today, you may be missing previously taught material. Ask your teacher for catch up material or try KhanAcademy.com for a diagnostic test and personalized lessons. Math is like a puzzle- solving for "unknowns." Math is challenging is a fun way as long as you feel you understand enough previous material. Much success to you.
