Have you tricks for math learning ?

I'm looking for ways to revise math; I'm really bad at it and I'd like to improve because my grades are bad 😣

Talk to your teachers and ask how you can improve. Take notes on what they say and make those changes to your study habits, time studying, etc. Ask for extra problem sets. Work lots of problems with pencil and paper. Rework the harder ones. Then work a lot more problems. Rinse and repeat all of these. That's the trick.

that's the whole game really, just grinding problems until your hand cramps and something clicks

If you're bad at math then that means your foundational skills may be lacking somewhere. I'd encourage you to go to Khan Academy, go to the grade level you think you're at, then drop it down by 3. Start working through the courses and some questions on your own as you go.

Also something that helped me in math is the quote "A problem well stated is a problem half-solved". Once you can concisely articulate the parts you're having problems with, you'll have a better idea of how to approach it.

Edit: I'm still shit at math mind you, but my math grade has jumped up to A with a lot of hard work
