How can I use Purplemath's lessons?

Purplemath's math lessons can be used in many ways:

• Read the lesson that relates to what you're about to study in class, so you get to class at least somewhat prepared.
• Print out the lesson that relates to what you're about to study in class, and use the margins, white space, or the backs of pages for taking notes in class.
• When the homework seems impossible and the textbook and your class notes aren't helping much, come to Purplemath for clarification.

Let Purplemath help you always be prepared!

How should I be formatting my homework?

Neat homework can aid your comprehension and might make your teacher like you better. Purplemath's " Homework Guidelines for Mathematics " will give you a leg up, explaining in clear terms what your math teacher is looking for. The Guidelines link to examples of common errors, and demonstrate techniques that your instructors will love! In addition, students who get in the habit of explaining themselves clearly in their homework gain greater understanding of what they're doing, and therefore tend to do much better on their tests.

English teachers tell their students explicitly how to format their papers: what fonts, what page margins, what style guides, etc. Math teachers, on the other hand, frequently just complain amongst themselves in the faculty lounge about how messy their students' work is. Meanwhile, their students wonder why they've lost points on homework and tests.

Study these Guidelines , print out this " formatting " PDF, and improve your learning, retention, and test scores. Don't leave easy points on the table!

Go to the Guidelines!

How can I measure my study skills?

Many students, from time to time, wonder, "Do I have what it takes to succeed in math?" Much of one's success or failure in algebra can be laid at the feet of one's study habits. Do you have good math study habits? Take this survey and find out.

Mathway Free Math Solver

  Tip : Refresh your browser if it doesn’t load the first time. Trust me, it happens.

I must say that there is no alternative to paying attention in class, writing down notes, studying at home, and doing a lot of independent practice using pencil and paper. However, there are times when a teacher or tutor is not available to help you solve a math problem. This can be frustrating at times. But, don’t worry. Mathway can be that extra “eye” to help double-check your work. Whether it’s math homework in pre-algebra, algebra, geometry, trigonometry, precalculus, statistics, or calculus, this is the tool for you. Heck, you can even just use it as a regular arithmetic calculator! Moreover, you can also use this as a graphing utility to graph any functions such as linear, quadratic, trigonometric functions, etc. To be honest, I start wondering what this math solver cannot do!

Mathway’s math problem solver is an excellent tool to check your work for free. Just type in the math problem into the interactive calculator using its prescribed syntax, and it will give you the correct answer. It’s like having a private tutor 24/7/365 with you at all times!

Note: If you want more help, and therefore, would want to see how Mathway solves the problem step by step, you can click “Tap to view steps…” to redirect you to the developer’s website for a modest subscription fee which in return, I will receive some monetary compensation .

However, if what you need is to simply check if you arrived at the correct answer and not necessarily detailed step-by-step answers, then the widget should be sufficient for you.

SZA Tries — and Fails — to Help a Fan With Math Homework: "Tell Me About the Shapes Chile"

"I appreciate the faith in me," SZA told the fan in the random DM exchange.

Published Aug. 29 2024, 10:08 a.m. ET

Grammy-winning singer SZA has many talents, including singing, acting, and writing. But, as a fan soon discovered, she doesn't have the answers to everything.

In August 2024, a fan asked SZA for help with their math homework. She quickly proved to the fan why they probably should've gotten somebody else to do it.

SZA tells a fan "I appreciate the faith in me" after they ask her for help with their math homework.

On Aug. 28, SZA posted a hilarious DM exchange between her and a fan. The fan informed her that they were in dire need of her help with their geometry homework.

"SZA, I'm failing geometry," the fan wrote. "Can you give me some math tips?"

The "Snooze" singer replied to the fan with multiple texts highlighting why she was the wrong person for the job. SZA shared that she's never had a great track record with the subject but was willing to help.

"LMAO ma'am, I'm a math dummy," she warned the fan, adding, "I'm not sure what you expected. Tell me about the shapes, chile, how can I help?"

SZA's fan then showed her their homework, including all the scary math images —graphs, equations, and lines; oh my! They then admitted to her "I just can't do this," and she replied that she couldn't either after seeing their math homework for herself.

"Oh b---h, you're cooked," SZA declared.

Despite her efforts to help, the artist ultimately knew less about geometry than her fan. However, wrote on the screenshot of the DM exchange, "I appreciate the faith in me."

While math has her struggling, like many other left-brained creatives, SZA's success in the music industry is unmatched. The singer started her highly successful S.O.S. tour in Europe in April 2024.

SZA Shares DM From Fan Asking for Math Homework Help: ‘Oh B*tch Ur Cooked’

The singer once said she's "never off the clock" for her fans, but being a math tutor probably wasn't what she had in mind.

Sorry, SZA won’t be able to help you with your math homework.

The SOS singer clearly loves her fans and is willing to do what she can to give back to them within her means. However, the 34-year-old might have met her match when a fan slid into her DMs and asked for help with geometry.

“Sza I’m failing geometry can you give me math tips?” asked the fan, as seen in a screenshot shared to SZA’s Instagram Story on Wednesday.

“Lmaooo ma’am I’m a math dummy, I’m not sure what u expected 😂” SZA responded. “Tell me bout the shapes chile. How can I help?”

sza / Instagram

The fan replied with a photo of her geometry worksheet, to which SZA hilarious wrote back, “Oh bitch ur cooked 😭.”

While SZA couldn't help the fan with their math assignment, the artist prides herself on being mostly available to her fans. For her October 2023 Rolling Stone cover story , the “ Kill Bill ” singer told the magazine that she is “ never off the clock for my fans .”

“They’re my family, and they’re my people. I know what it’s like to feel small or like somebody doesn’t care, because that’s who I was my whole life. In middle school, elementary school, I wasn’t popular,” said SZA.

She continued, “So I try to make sure n***as know ‘I hear you, I see you. I have time to stop for you. Yes, we can smoke together, you can come backstage. You can come to my house if you want.’ Hella fans have spent the night with me and been to my house many times.”

“How do I determine who’s safe to do that? I don’t. And sometimes it feels really bad,” she added.

SZA Calls Herself a 'Math Dummy' as She Tries to Help Fan Failing Geometry with Homework: See the Funny DMs

"Sza I’m failing geometry can you give me math tips," the fan wrote in a private message on Instagram

Gilbert Flores/Billboard via Getty Images

SZA is not a math wiz!

The Grammy winner, 34, shared a screenshot on her Instagram Story on Aug. 28, of an interaction with a fan who desperately needed help with their geometry homework — but she admittedly didn't have much to offer. 

"Sza I’m failing geometry can you give me math tips," the fan wrote in a private message on the app.

The "Shirt" singer responded, "Lmaooo ma’am I’m a math dummy," before asking for more information.

"I’m not sure what u expected," SZA added. "Tell me bout the shapes chile [...] How can I help?"

The fan responded with a screenshot of their assignment which was labeled "finding coordinates" and displayed two graphs. "I just can’t do this," they wrote along with the image, adding a series of crying face and broken heart emojis.

Unfortunately, SZA ran out of optimism upon seeing the homework assignment. "Oh bitch ur cooked," she replied.

The singer first responded to the fan's message at 8:07 p.m. local time, according to the screenshot, and delivered her last message at 5:32 a.m.

sza/Instagram

SZA has opened up about struggles during her school years in the past, mainly her experience being bullied . "I was bullied because I wasn't quiet and I was awkward at the same time," the singer told PEOPLE in 2023. "I wasn't this tiny sad victim, but I was more so attacked just because it was giving 'What is wrong with you?' energy."

"I always thought, 'Oh my God.' I'll never have the approval of anyone in life, this must be my defining factor, this must be the bottom line," she added.

The "Saturn" singer eventually learned to embrace her differences, saying, "I realized that all the things that made me feel so lame were actually what made me into who I am. It's like, I didn't go to prom because I didn't have any friends and I had no one to go to prom with ... [and now] it's so weird that my life turned into [having] a bodyguard while traveling to parties.were actually what made me into who I am."

She continued, "All these things, if I had such a fulfilling existence and experience in high school, I would've felt validated to the point where I didn't need to do any more. [So] I just had to do more, I had to be more because I was like, 'This s----- experience can't be the end of it because if it is, I am cooked.'"

Someone Asked SZA For Help With Geometry Homework, And SZA Had Some Hilarious Yet Unhelpful Advice

SZA performed her “ last show for a while ” earlier this month, which frees her up to spend her time like non-chart-topping citizens: Perusing the internet.

On Wednesday, August 28, SZA posted a screenshot of an interaction she had with someone in her Instagram DMs. The person’s username isn’t visible, but God bless them, whoever they are.

“SZA I’m failing geometry can you give me math tips,” they wrote. SZA replied in four messages, “Lmaooo ma’am I’m a math dummy. I’m not sure what u expected [laugh-crying emoji]. Tell me about the shapes chile. How can I help[?]”

The person replied with a photo of their (alleged) geometry homework along with, “I just can’t do this [three crying emojis, three heartbroken emojis].” SZA wrote, “Oh b*tch ur cooked.” And a new meme was born .

Atop the screenshot in her Instagram Story, SZA wrote, I appreciate the faith in me.”

Luckily, math is not required to pump out bangers like “Kill Bill” and “Snooze.”

While SZA won’t be performing in the immediate future, she might be preparing to officially release Lana after the album was delayed due to leaks . SZA last dropped SOS in December 2022, and her sophomore LP spent 10 weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200.

SZA may be an amazing vocalist, but when it comes to math, she’s not exactly hitting high notes. On Wednesday (Aug. 28) night, a fan slid into her DMs asking for help with geometry homework and, unfortunately, didn’t get the answers they needed.

“SZA, I’m failing geometry. Can you give me math tips?” they asked. She responded, “Ma’am, I’m a math dummy. I’m not sure what [you] expected. Tell me about the shapes, [child]. How can I help?”

The fan then sent a picture of a page about "finding coordinates" with the message, “I just can’t do this.” Humorously, SZA also conceded defeat: “Oh, b**ch, [you’re] cooked.” In the Top Dawg Entertainment songstress’ subsequent Instagram Story , she wrote, “I appreciate the faith in me.”

Social media eventually caught wind of the situation, with many others sharing their algebra horror stories. One user replied, “[This is] me with my son’s math homework.” Another shared, “The only math I do on a daily [basis] is making sure my paycheck adds up. Anything else is lost on me.”

Elsewhere, someone emphasized, “Math really started losing me when they started adding letters to the equation. I still have [yet to] find out what X equals since I graduated.”

Earlier in the month, SZA announced that she was going on a hiatus from live performances . Taking to Twitter, she shared, “Yesterday (Aug. 4) was my last show for a while. [I’m] finally ‘bout to get my life together. Thank [you], God.” Though she didn’t disclose why she is taking a break, the artist spent much of 2023 on the road for her “SOS Tour,” which spanned over 60 worldwide stops.

SZA is also working on her next full-length project . During her headlining set at BST Hyde Park in June, she asked the crowd, “New album, you ready?” Fans also got a sneak peek at a track that is likely to appear on it.
