⇒ Know that the struggle is okay, that it takes
time to learn things.
⇒ Students need to take responsibility for their
own learning and their own struggle.
⇒ Resist the very common temptation to
explain the struggle as genetic.
⇒ Guide children to resources that can help
(their textbook, their notes).
⇒ Value math homework encourage children
to do more than just ‘get it done’.
⇒ Expand the focus beyond the grade.
⇒ Praise the process.
