Hi folks - I am REALLY struggling with the Number Properties chapter of the 5LB book and I’ve watched all of the foundation videos from Week 1 from Greg and done additional practice.
B/c I get that these are really basic/ foundational ideas, does anyone have ideas about how I can strengthen this skill? Thanks!
If you want to learn the basics then refer to Khan Academy :
If you’re more of a reading type of person then you can read the same chapter on ETS Math Review :
Finally, a good summary of everything that is asked from Number Properties :
Now, the most important part is that you understand whatever you’ve read/ watched !
My personal process to get this done was that I used to watch videos on topics in GRE at early in the morning before going to my undergrad classes and then after I come back from classes in the evening I used to test myself, first, with un-timed 5 questions on the same material that I watched in earlier that day and if I managed to solve them off! then I would follow up with timed practice from 5lb otherwise I would re-watch same videos / google stuff until I understood it!! (You can do your own thing but make sure you’re testing yourself each time you are learning otherwise you’ll end up wasting a lot of time).
P.S. Use the forums to ask whatever questions you have , even the ones that you think are silly !
