Don't expect that all homework will be easy for your child or be disappointed that it seems difficult. Never indicate that you feel your child is stupid. This may sound silly, but sometimes loving caring parents unintentionally give their kids the most negative messages: For example,'even your little sister can do that', or 'hurry up can't you see that the answer is ten?' or 'don't worry maths was hard for me too-- and basides, you'll never use it 'or' how come you got a B in math when you could get A's in everything else?'.
Seek out positive ways to support your child's teacher and school. Join the parent group offer to help find materials or roles. accompany field trips. Avoid making negative comments about the teacher or the school in front of your child - you child needs to maintain a good feeling about the school.
Ask the teacher to give you course outline or a list of the expectations for each class or subject of study. They should be available at the beginning of the school year or at some other occasion. These will help you know how your child is doing.
Find time to sit in on your child's classes. Make an appointment with the school and attend each scheduled class for a day. Go to school events such as open house etc.
Look carefully at the standardized test results, and ask about any test scores that may indicate a skill deficiency or a special talent. But don't use these test scores as your primary means of assessment. The teacher's observations and your own will be much more valuable. Some of most important attributes, such as sticking with a problem, or having many effective strategies to use, are not tested with paper and pencil.
Ask the teacher at the beginning of the term how placement decisions are made for subsequent courses, especially if your child is in the upper grades or is changing schools;
Try not to drill your child on math content or create hostilities by insisting that math work be done at any one specific time to in specific way. Don't use math work as a punishment. Parents and adolescents have enough things that may create friction without adding math to the list.
Model persistence and pleasure with mathematics. Include enrichment, recreational mathematics in your family routine. Try to introduce math ideas (with a light touch!)at the dinner table, or while traveling, even to the grocery store.
Above all, enjoy mathematics
