What is the best way you learn in the math class and why?

In math class, the best way I learn, is when I have my notes from the book done, and the teacher explains things to me. I think this is because when I have the notes done from the book I can refer to the theormes and concepts that I dont know what they are or what to do with them. On the other hand I like having a teacher that explains things to me, because I can actually understand what they are explaining or teaching me, because when you reffer to the examples of the book, they explain to you very mathematically but when you are being taught by a teacher they can twist the situation, and make it easier to understand. Another way of understanding things easily, is when I have other people to ask to, because when you can ask other people what they think its the answer and they know how to explain it, its easier to do anything, because you have what I would cal "Moral Support". This is important to me because sometimes I need to ask other people what they think the answer is because I want to make sure I have it right, or because I want to understand the concept better.
