1. Play popular board games that require basic math skills.
Many games help with computation speed and accuracy, and problem solving skills are developed through games like
2. Review previously learned math concepts before tackling new assignments.
Starting with familiar concepts helps build your child's retention and confidence.
3. Ask your child's math teacher for a schedule of math topics.
Take time to develop two projects or exercises per week that will reinforce what your child is learning in class.
4. Work with your child to solve math problems using multiple methods.
This will help your child develop a fuller understanding of the computation concepts.
5. Provide pictorial examples of math concepts.
Draw or collect pictures of animals, objects or people to show addition, subtraction, multiplication, division and fractions.
6. If your child receives an allowance, use it to formulate mathematics problems and teach them about saving. For older children, relate percentage problems to their allowance.
7. Allow your child to plan the next family trip. Help him compute miles, cost of gas, expenses for food, hotel and entertainment.
8. Encourage your child to do math aloud and to explain the series of steps used to solve the problem.
9. Follow your child's progress through her math book, tests and homework.
10. Don't let problems with math linger. Since math builds on previously learned concepts, it's essential to identify and address problems early so they don't compound (to use a math term).
11. A deck of cards can be a valuable math tool. Card games begin to teach the lesson of probability and reinforce addition and subtraction memorization for children learning basic math facts.
12. Dice are helpful for younger children to practice number facts to six. If they are stumped, they can count the dots to find the sum.
13. Relate math to your child's favorite sport. Keeping score is a math exercise! Ask him to calculate the number of points needed for his favorite team to win. Encourage him to create multiple point combinations to reach that score.
14. Play car games like "guess my number." This will reinforce logic skills with children of all ages.
15. Dominoes are a great game for children of all ages. Smaller children can use them to recognize similar quantities while older children can explore the concepts of probability.
