How do I build up mathematical intuition?

Question

I will be a freshman in high school next fall. Recently I felt like my math skills were bad. I can hardly figure out what to do in problems, and if I try and look at it from a different angle it feels so difficult. How do I deal with trying to build up math logic?

Answer 1

I'm only a recent math major as a college freshman myself, but I can offer you a second-hand book recommendation that's helped my friends tremendously, some of whom have gone on to excel in math competitions such as the IMO: AoPS' contest preparation textbooks at https://artofproblemsolving.com/store
