The STAR Method™

Become a STAR in Mathematics

Welcome to your 30-day journey to mastery. This workbook is built around the STAR Method, a simple, repeatable system that turns practice into real progress.

What is the STAR Method?

Every day you will follow four steps. The sequence matters. It is designed to build understanding, accuracy, and long-term recall.

S – STUDY the concept or strategy
Read the day’s explanation and worked examples. Go slowly. Make sure you understand the “why”, not just the steps.

T – TEST yourself with daily worksheets
Complete the practice problems independently. Each day includes a 30-question worksheet that reinforces the skill and builds fluency.

A – ASSESS your work with self-check
Use the answer key to mark your work. Be strict. Identify exactly where and why errors happened.

R – REMEMBER what you have learned
Review mistakes, correct them, and re-attempt any questions you missed. This is where the learning sticks.

Why STAR works

STAR builds independent learners. You are not just doing maths. You are learning a method, applying it, checking it, and correcting it. That loop is what creates mastery.

• Study prevents blind repetition.
• Test builds fluency through consistent daily practice.
• Assess gives immediate feedback and exposes gaps.
• Remember converts mistakes into long-term improvement.

Every time you follow STAR, you strengthen both skill and confidence. Over 30 days, these small daily actions compound into real results.
