How do you write math examples from your Maths Textbook ?

Do you feel hand pain when writing a lot of math examples and if yes then what do you do ton reduce it and how do you write your Maths examples in your textbook(Do you write them verbatim).

Why do you need to copy examples from your textbook?

I have been told to do that,

I think that to learn Maths,

A person will need to copy examples from his textbook multiple times and then practice the questions which are in his textbook,multiple times in order to learn Maths.

That doesn't sound right. I understand copying text when learning to _write_, but copying math examples doesn't make sense to me. If you understand what's going, that's enough, in my opinion. To learn math you need to do exercises - copy the problems and then do some thinking before writing the solution. This way you are not writing non-stop and it should not be painful.
Note: I was taught how to hold a pen/pencil correctly. Here in US people hold writing instruments as if they've never seen them before. I can imagine some unorthodox ways of holding a pen may cause pain.

You learn math by doing math. That might mean writing out the problem posed in an example, then attempting to do it yourself before looking at the solution in text. But I don't think simply copying examples does any good.

Hi aicreator. I hope you don't mean copying the same examples multiple times each or writing out the same exercises multiple times each.

There's nothing wrong with writing out the steps of a given example, as you study it. I did that frequently, as a student, while trying to understand something new. (There is strong evidence to support involving multiple senses while studying something new.) However, I don't think students gain much by continuing to write out the same example or work on the same question after finishing the first time. Practice with something different.

If you get stuck with an exercise or some given example step, try a different exercise or example; maybe you'll see something that helps. Otherwise, ask for assistance.

Anytime you feel pain while studying, it's time to take a break. (By the way, there's also evidence to support taking short breaks -- about 5 to 7 minutes each -- in between 20-minute sessions of heavy concentration, when studying. The brain needs a little time away from actively thinking about information, to begin encoding it. Walk around the block, do breathing exericises or listen to some music.)
