How do I get good grades in math? How many of u always get A in Mathematics. the answer is in...The best way to get an A in math, even geometry, is to work on problems yourself and see if you get the right answer. Write out your work step by step and show it to a teacher or tutor. That way they will be able to tell you where you went wrong.

First of all, the only stupid question is the one not asked. Secondly, you need to use the article: a good grade or good grades (for multiple tests). Thirdly, the use of prepositions may be altered, depending where you �re from: on the weekend or at the weekend. So people may say: Do you get good grades in Math? How many of u always get an A in Maths? Or: How do I get a good grade on a math test? Study more and hopefully you �ll get a better grade on the next test. And you may also say: You �ll need to study harder for your tests. As such, Zorba �s answer is too restricted. Prepositions are nor overly rigid, sadly. Hence your confusion. No need to be ashamed of, and certainly no reason to call your question stupid. Hope this helps. Cheers, Peter

Correct sentences:
I have good grades in Maths.
Or
I have a good grade in Maths.
"in Maths" means in a particular class or subject. "for Maths" -- we don �t say it that way if you mean the class. However, if you are good at math, you might say "I have an aptitude for math".
"I get good grades in Maths" implies an ongoing process for a subject that you �re good at. "I have good grades in Maths" implies a particular class at a particular time.
