Tips
Encourage
your child to use a daily math assignment book.
Follow
the progress your child is making in math. Check with your
child daily about his homework.
If
you don't understand your child's math assignments, engage
in frequent communication with his or her teacher.
If
your child is experiencing problems in math, contact the teacher
to learn whether he or she is working at grade level and what
can be done at home to help improve academic progress.
Request
that your child's teacher schedule after-school math tutoring
sessions if your child really needs help.
Advocate
with the principal for the use of research-based peer tutoring
programs for math. These tutoring programs have proven results,
and students really enjoy them.
Use
household chores as opportunities for reinforcing math learning
such as cooking and repair activities.
Try
to be aware of how your child is being taught math, and don't
teach strategies and shortcuts that conflict with the approach
the teacher is using. Check in with the teacher and ask what
you can do to help. Ask the teacher about online resources
that you can use with your child at home.
At
the beginning of the year, ask your child's teacher for a
list of suggestions that will enable you to help your child
with math homework.
