Is math
homework a struggle? Try using some of the suggestions in Helping Your
Child with Math or the questions in Parents as Questioners. Often asking the
right question can deepen your child's understanding more than telling them
what you would do!
Also, see
below some handouts from Ruth Parker, mathematics educator, advocating for both
teachers and families to have daily "number talks" with children and
teaching multiplication facts for understanding. You're never too young
or too old to start practicing using multiple strategies to solve math
problems!
