Tips for Parents to Help your Child in Learning Mathematics
If you are able to coach your child, you may wish to:
Model to your child : • the desired characteristics when you solve
problems with your child. • the whole process, not just the solutions. • how you try to understand the problem initially
and how you make sense of the problem. • how he think, select and discard methods. • how you persevere.
Ask your child to show you : • how he solves a problem. • the steps and sequence. • the methods and strategies.
Encourage your child to: • Solve a problem using different heuristics and
strategies. • create a new problem. • make up another problem that can be solved
using the same steps or strategy. • modify the problems.
Get your child into the habit of checking : • Get into the habit of questioning if an answer
is reasonable (make sense).
Scaffold for your child : • Provide hints not the solutions. • Give a step. • Provide guiding questions.
If you are not an expert in solving mathematical problems, you can still coach your child and may wish to: • supervise your child’s mathematics
homework. • monitor your child’s work at least every
weekend. • interact with your child and get him to talk
about the mathematics lessons and work. • suggest to your child to teach you what she
has learnt at school. • take note of any message that the teacher has
sent home for your attention.
• Act promptly if you find out that your child is performing badly in mathematics.
• Discuss your concerns with your child’s teacher. • Seek help if necessary. • Keep an eye on the progress of your child.
