Educators have always been asked by parents
for simple ideas to help children become more
proficient in understanding and utilizing
mathematics.
The most significant piece of advice we would
give parents is to read to their
children–frequently and regularly and provide
plenty of real-life math experiences.
Countless studies have shown that children who
can comprehend how math applies directly to
their lives and how they can use math to help
them with everyday tasks will be more
successful in mathematics learning throughout
their lives.
Reading to a child is a primary building block
for language, learning and brain development.
Early efforts in literacy and basic math
functions yield long-range results. Math
cannot be learned in a vacuum, children need
to be able to make sense of it and see its
purpose!
