How to have conversations about Math with your child:

(Tips from Math for Love.com)

School is canceled, you barely leave the house, and you have a child you’re trying to help learn math. You’re going to be having more math conversations than you used to. Let’s talk about how to make them as joyful and productive as possible.

Here are three guidelines for math conversations.

Start from where things make sense

“How could we draw a picture so this made sense?”
“This feels confusing. Let’s start with an easier problem.”

Be curious

“That’s the right answer, but I don’t see how you got it. How did you do that?”
“Let’s try to do it a totally different way. How many ways could we come up with?”

Keep it light and nonjudgmental

“It doesn’t matter if we get it wrong. Let’s just mess with it.”
“I have no idea what to do. Let’s figure it out together!”

PLEASE DON’T SAY

I’m not good at math/I’m not smart
Ask your father/ask your mother
I’m not a math person
Why aren’t you getting this? We just talked about this yesterday.
It’s obvious!
You should know this by now.

DO SAY:

I don’t know – let’s find out!
Interesting idea. Why do you think that’s true?
I don’t get it yet. Can you draw a picture that would help me get it?
These numbers are confusing me. Let’s do an easier problem first.
I wonder if this (tool, model, drawing, manipulative) would help.
