The biggest thing I would recommend is to not let math overwhelm you. Remebmer, there's only one operation you can do in math: add.

Subtraction is the addition of a negative number.
Multiplication is a shortcut for multiple additions of the same number.
Division is seeing how many times you can add a number to itself before it equals another number.
And so on... (until you get to calculus, which is whack!)

So when a problem really has you puzzled, try breaking it down to its constituent parts and seeing how the numbers are really interacting.
