Tips for Helping with Homework
Parents can . . .
- set aside a regularly scheduled time for your child to complete
his/her homework
- provide a quiet environment for your child to work
- be positive about your child's efforts
- offer guidance, NOT solutions
- help your child explain what is being asked
- have your child "tell a story" that illustrates the
problem
- point out real life applications of the problems
- keep lines of communication between home and school open so you
are aware of mathematical concepts being discussed in class
Note To Parents: If you have a question or concern about your
child's mathematics, you should talk to the following people in the
order listed below.
- Your child
- Your child's teacher
- Principal
