Helping Your Child Learn Mathematics |
We
know from research that children are more likely to be
successful learners of any subject when parents actively
support their learning. Today, helping children to make the
effort to learn, appreciate and master mathematics is more
important than ever. Our increasingly technological world
demands strong skills in mathematics, not only in the
workforce but also in everyday life, and these demands will
only increase over the lifetimes of our children.
To ensure that our children are ready for high school and on
track for success in college and the workforce, parents must
become involved early—and stay involved over the school
years—to reinforce children's skills in and positive
attitudes toward mathematics.
Starting in elementary school, children should be learning
beginning concepts in algebra, geometry, measurement,
statistics and logic. In addition, they should be learning
how to solve problems by applying knowledge of math to new
situations. They should be learning to think of themselves
as mathematicians—able to reason mathematically and to
communicate mathematical ideas by talking and writing.
