"Plug and chug" in math refers to the process of substituting known values into a formula or equation to calculate a result, often without fully understanding the underlying concepts. This technique is commonly used in solving problems, especially in algebra and calculus, where students may apply formulas directly to find answers. While it can be effective for obtaining quick results, relying solely on this method may hinder deeper comprehension of the material.
