The Eleven
Commandments
Colleen Young
The Eleven
Commandments
for mathematicians
1
Thou shalt read thy problem carefully.
1 Read and understand the problem
How are your problem solving skills?
See this document from The University
of California, Berkeley for a succinct
guide to Polya’s problem solving strategy
For a more detailed guide with examples
try this publication from Arizona State
University.
2
Whatsoever thou doest to one side
of thy equation, do ye also to the
other.
2 How’s your Algebra?
There are plenty of resources
online to help.
Notes Videos Reference
3
Thou must use thy "common sense",
else thou wilt have flagpoles 9,000
feet high. Yea, even fathers younger
than sons.
3 Always check your work
Are you checking that your answer is
sensible?
Are you guilty of making any of the
classic mistakes?
3 Always check your work
Learn to use WolframAlpha
Learn to use Desmos
3 Always check your work
Calculators &Tools
4
Thou shalt ignore the teachings of
false prophets to do all thy work in
thy head.
5
When thou knowest not, thou shalt
look it up; and if thy search still
elude thee, thou shalt ask thy All-
Knowing Teacher.
5 Look it up
Never rely on just one source if
you are finding a topic tricky, it
can be helpful to see explanations
and examples written by different
authors.
Notes Videos
6
Thou shalt master each step before
putting thy heavy foot down on the
next.
6 Master each step
Try lots of exercises so you are secure
in methods.
Try some new and challenging problems.
Underground
Maths
7
Thy correct answer does not prove
that thou hast worked thy problem
correctly. This argument convincest
none, least of all thy Teacher.
See 10 also.
8
Thou shalt first see that thou hast
copied thy problem correctly, before
bearing false witness that the
answer book lieth.
9
Thou shalt look back even unto thy
youth and remember thy arithmetic.
9 Remember all the basics
If you want to practise your
arithmetic you could play some
games!
Available on Math Playground, the 25
levels of Think Outside the
Flock will test your thinking skills!
10
Thou shalt learn, read, write ,speak,
and listen correctly in the language
of mathematics, and verily A's and
B's shall follow thee even unto
graduation.
10 On Learning Mathematics
Think about how you learn, not just
what you learn. Have a look at these
Study Strategies from the Learning
Scientists.
10 Write Mathematics clearly
Do you distinguish carefully between
a 1 and a 7 for example? Does 2 look
like z or 5 look a bit like a letter s?
From John Kerl see tips for
mathematical handwriting,
Also have a look at this clear guide
to writing Mathematics from Dr
Kevin P Lee.
11
My own Maths teacher
(thank you Mr Hind) taught me the
11th commandment…
Thou shalt not divide by zero.
Thank you …
….to whoever wrote these!
Having trawled the Internet I can
find many copies (and variations) but
no attribution to the original author.
