Parents can help middle years students build a better understanding about math by doing the following:

​

• As a family, play card and board games that involve numbers, puzzles, brain teasers or strategic planning.

• Engage your child in banking, cooking, shopping, construction and budgeting activities that estimate quantities, calculate balances, and measure.

• Help your child understand and analyze data, statistics and daily information from newspapers, sports and television.

• Communicate with your child about math. Ask your child what math they are learning or to explain their thinking strategies by asking, “How did you do that? Can you explain your solution? Is there another way of doing the question?”

• Provide space at home and where possible, have the appropriate math tools to complete homework or math tasks (rulers, calculators, etc).

• Support and encourage your child with homework. Encourage your child to persevere with math tasks, looking for new solutions or seeking out other resources. Ask “What is the problem you are working on? Are there words you don’t know? Can you find other examples from your notes? Can you draw a picture or make a diagram? What is your teacher asking you to do? Would it help to do another question first? Who can you ask for assistance?” Having your child explain something out loud sometimes helps find a solution. Have him or her show all of their thinking and calculations to support their solutions.

• Exhibit a positive attitude towards math. Set expectations that include success in math and learn about careers that use math.
