Maybe give some free advice about: School?
There are so many other ways to study by not sitting and reading your math book. Try studying with friends, make flash cards, ask your parents to quiz you, stay after school with your math teacher and he or she can help you, or you can just make up your own quiz and quiz yourself. Try to learn and study something can be hard. You should also be extra attention and take good notes in your math class and that should help.

You could -
*Write important notes on post-its. You know, those squares of bright paper with a sticky strip on the back? Writing the stuff out will help you to remember it and it won't be quite as boring as just reading. Write them in your own words too, so you understand them better. Stick the notes up where you will see them and read them loads of times every day.
*Revise with your friends. They all need to study too, so you could quiz each other. It'll be more fun that by yourself, and when you're finished you can all hang out and have fun.
*Buy a revision guide. They can be really helpful. Read it, and every time you finish say, five pages, or a chapter, give yourself a treat.
*You could even study outside now the weather is warmer. Sunbathing and rveising at the same time, not bad!
*Listen to a CD or the radio. Music is proven to aid concentration.
*Get your rents to quiz you maybe? They can probably explain the stuff better to you as well.
*After reading, quiz yourself, or get someone to quiz you to check it went in. You're gonna have to read SOME of the stuff...just not all of it.
Blessed Be,

You could try something more fun. For instance, study with a friend or parent? Also you can ask a teacher or smart friend for help with the subject. Make sure you re check your work on those worksheets, they are made to be tricky. Dont let anything distract you. For ways to remember things, try making a song, or a numonic. A numonic is something to make you think of what you need to know. Say you needed to know Louisiana=Cats and New York=Dogs (this is false information, just examples)You would say something stupid that will stick to your memory like New younger=dumber, for new york, babies arnt as smart as adults, but it will make you remember. Stupid sayings stick!

I totally understand your situation. Im failing math too! And forget about reading a math book.. i know! So what you should do is stay after school with the teacher. If your math teacher is like mine and never stays after..go to one that does! thats what i do..and when the other teacher explains stuff to me, it clicks! So try that..or maybe get together with someone who is good in math and is maybe in pre calculas and really knows their stuff..that can really help also. I think getting extra help and having someone explain it to you until it clicks is way better than reading. There are also math websites..sometimes i go to google and type in math practice for math b1 (thats the math im in) and i practice stuff on there..
hope you pull your grades up
