Tips To Help Children Master Math
Tips To Help Children Master Math
1. Make math practical. Apply math concepts to every day life whenever possible: In shopping, cooking and dining out.
2. Review previously learned math before tackling new assignments. Starting with familiar concepts helps build your child's retention and confidence.
3. Dispel the notion that math is difficult by talking math with your child as you use it in everyday activities.
4. Ask your child's math teacher for a schedule of math topics. Take time to develop two projects or exercises per week that will reinforce what your child is learning in class.
5. Work with your child to solve math problems using multiple methods. This will help your child develop a fuller understanding of the computation concepts.
6. Provide pictorial example of math concepts. Draw or collect pictures of animals, objects or people to show addition, subtraction, division and fractions.
7. Practice percentages with items on sale in catalogs or stores. Encourage your child to compute full price, sales price and net savings.
8. Open a savings account at the bank and help your child establish a savings plan. Or, develop a checkbook or credit card system for your child to use at home..The balance may represent allowance or bonus points that have specific values or prizes.
9. Allow your child to plan the next family trip. Help him or her compute miles, cost of gas, expenses for food, hotel and entertainment.
10. Encourage your child to do math aloud and to explain the series of steps involved in solving the problem.
11. Follow your child's progress through his or her math book, tests and homework.
12. Don't let problems with math linger. Since math builds on previously learned concepts, it's essential to identify and address problems early so they don't compound.
