Ideas to help your child.
Meet your child’s teacher and ask how your child is doing in math. If the
teacher indicates your child is struggling, ask the teacher for specific ways
you can help.
At home, let your child be the “teacher”. Sometimes the best way for children
to remember is to teach you. Have them ask you the questions. Explaining
things makes it stick.
