Math
How can I support my child in Math this year?
Encourage your child practice their math facts for 5-10 minutes each night. If your child has not yet mastered their addition and subtraction facts, it would be imperative to memorize those first. Once they know those facts well, you can begin to have your child practice their multiplication and division facts. Please support your child to make sure to continuously practice the different operations so that they become more flexible mathematicians.
It is always encourage to check grades on e-school often. If you are concerned with your child's performance, do not hesitate to contact me.
