Tips for Adults "doing math" with Kids

If we want our children to become successful in mathematics, we need to promote a positive math environment. As parents and teachers, the best way we can do this is to:

Be Positive Your support and encouragement means the world to your child.	"Great idea. Way to go!" "I know you can figure this out."
Be Patient Encourage your child to take their time. Parents often try to "rescue" their children by giving them the answer.	"Take your time." "Is there another strategy you could try?"
Encourage Understanding To truly understand math, students need to go beyond simply memorizing.	"Does your answer make sense?" "Explain how you know you are right."
