Strategies for Helping Your Child

You can do a great deal to help your child to succeed in mathematics.  Here are some strategies that be used throughout the year with any of the mathematical units.

• Encourage your child to do his or her homework on a regular basis.
• Have your child show you his or her math notes and explain to you what they have been doing in class
• Have your child explain to you what each word in the vocabulary section of the notebook means to him/her.  If your child is struggling with any words, together you might look  the words up in a dictionary or look through the unit to get a better idea of what each team means.
• Encourage your student by showing him or her that you believe that they can succeed if they try and work hard at the assignment.
