How to Help
Research says children are more likely to be successful learners when parents actively support their learning. Today, helping children to make the effort to learn mathematics is more important than ever. Our world of technology demands strong skills in mathematics, and these demands will only increase over the lifetimes of our children.
Parents must become involved early and stay involved over the school years to build children's skills in math and develop positive attitudes toward mathematics. Math education, especially in middle and high school, can play a major role in determining his or her future education and career opportunities.
Please take 20 minutes 3-4 times a week to help your child become a better mathematician. The web pages listed below contain numerous games and activities to help you engage your child in math and some include on-line tutor help. Have fun !!!!USEFUL WEB PAGES
