Doing Mathematics with Your Child by Amanda Van't Wout https://padlet.com/avantwout/u48xaoteoe2d A Parent Guide en-us 2018-04-29 17:58:50 UTC 2026-01-30 13:17:14 UTC hello@padlet.com Top Tips for Parents avantwout https://padlet.com/avantwout/u48xaoteoe2d/wish/256325365 1. Build Strong Positive Attitudes about MATH. When children feel positively engaged and successful, they are more likely to stick with an activity or a problem to find a solution.

2. Begin with activities that meet your child's level of mathematical understanding. Early success in solving problems will build your child's confidence. Gradually move to activities that provide more challenge for your child. 

3. If you and your child are more comfortable in a language other than English, use it. Your child will understand concepts better in the language that he or she knows best. ]]> 2018-04-29 18:01:03 UTC https://padlet.com/avantwout/u48xaoteoe2d/wish/256325365 Preface avantwout https://padlet.com/avantwout/u48xaoteoe2d/wish/256326397 Before your chid can learn mathematics, he or she needs to believe in his or her ability to do so. That's where you come in. You can be your child's first role model for learning. When you engage with your child in a supportive, relaxed atmosphere, your child will enjoy exploring the world of mathematics. ]]> 2018-04-29 18:12:40 UTC https://padlet.com/avantwout/u48xaoteoe2d/wish/256326397 How can I Support my Child's Learning? avantwout https://padlet.com/avantwout/u48xaoteoe2d/wish/256327143 You are an important partner in your child's mathematical education! 

When you find ways to engage your child in thinking and talking about mathematics, you are providing an important key for unlocking his or her future success. 

Today, critical thinking, problem solving, reasoning ability and the ability to communicate mathematically are essential skills. These processes are the foundation of mathematics instruction in schools.
