Your Child’s Situation
Your Child’s Situation
Your child math understanding seems strong.
Their best test scores are high and they finish most or all of their homework.
But their average isn't that high because their scores aren’t consistent. Definitely not consistent enough for a straight A.
Too often, they see problems on tests that they are unsure about or have no idea how to solve. It is disappointing, especially after they put in time, effort and seem to be thoroughly prepared. It makes it impossible to reach beyond 90% overall grade.
Why, in spite of hours of studying, honest effort and some high scores, does your child still score lower on some of their tests?
What could the missing piece be?
What will happen if they start a difficult chapter and start getting even lower scores?
What will happen to their confidence?
Will their grade drop even lower, stripping them of their chance for a straight A?
Your child needs to cover math thoroughly.
They need to bridge the gap between the homework and tests.
In class, most concepts are covered equally. And the hardest problems are usually skipped or skimmed over, because there is not enough time.
That's a big problem for your child.
Moreover, homework often doesn't even cover all types of problems. That's another huge problem.
Your child is strong in math (in general), so they need to focus on the top 10-20% of the hardest problems. They should not spend too much time on the rest.
They need to identify and truly master the hardest concepts and problems.
They need to reach thorough and comprehensive understanding, speed and confidence in the areas many students struggle in.
The focus on those hardest topics is the difference between a B or a B+ and a straight A.
This is the biggest difference between students who score 85-90% and the students who cross-over to the elusive range of 92-100%.
That's the level your child needs to get to. They need to expand beyond homework, because homework is cookie-cutter, one-size-fits-all.
Homework doesn’t cover everything. It hardly ever covers the hardest problems sufficiently. And since your child needs to focus on those exact problems, homework won't help.
Your child needs a straight A for their confidence, for their GPA and to be well prepared for future, higher-level math classes. Perhaps they are planning on taking (or are taking) AP or Honors classes which require additional effort and more in-depth understanding.

How Your Child Can Reach Their #1 Math Goal:
Establish Math Fundamentals
How Your Child Can Reach Their #1 Math Goal:
Establish Math Fundamentals
Does your child have hard time understanding problems in class?
Do they often get stuck solving math problems?
Do they get frustrated because they constantly get confused with fractions, roots and other fundamentals?
Even when they understand a topic, do they often get confused when they encounter a slightly different example that they're used to?
Your child, like many other children, struggles with math fundamentals.
Why is that a huge problem?
Because math fundamentals occur and will continue to occur in every math problem your child will ever encounter in math.
That's why they get stuck so often.
That's why a small change in a problem throws them off.
It is critical that they master and get confident in math fundamentals, and continuously review them as needed, to remain confident and fluent in their fundamental skills, at any level.
Shockingly, many teachers incorrectly assume that fundamentals are easy... and don’t explain them!
As a result, many children don’t learn them well, or at all.
Hence, your child likely never has.
Fundamentals are fundamental, yes, but not easy!
Many topics are hard for many children when they learn them the first time, no matter how basic.
Fundamentals are no different.
Not only are fundamentals not easy, your child won't succeed in math without them.
Hence, it's even more important to truly understand them, master them, and be able to confidently use them at all times.
Your child's math success depends on it.
Perhaps your child learned math fundamentals a long time ago and didn’t get a chance to refresh their knowledge and practice them recently.
Rarely do classes incorporate a fundamentals review, and only a brief one. Many teachers simply assume that children already know them and don’t see the necessity to review them at all – which costs children frustration, lower grades, lower confidence and confusion.
Fundamentals are like dribbling in basketball – they are an essential part of math.
And need to be treated as such.
Becoming confident and fluent in fundamentals will help your child:
That’s why your child needs to solve a large number of examples, to gain confidence and speed. It is absolutely critical that they master them, to gain high level of confidence and proficiency.
After they master solving pure fundamental problems, your child should also understand and practice applications of fundamentals, to bridge the gap between pure math operations and how they work in multi-step problems. Most children skip this step and end up struggling.

- solve more challenging problems
- be more confident in math overall

Your Child’s Potential For Improvement
Your Child’s Potential For Improvement
Your child needs to expand their practice beyond homework both in terms of the problems types and the level of difficulty, to make sure they are ready for the hardest problems.
To get to a straight A level, your child needs to thoroughly analyze their mistakes, understand how different variations of problems work and what are the best, fastest, most efficient ways to solve them.
By focusing on the hardest 10-20% of the problems, your child can progress 3-5X faster and tackle their weaknesses to be confident and prepared to ace the most challenging tests.
Your child has done a great job getting this far and they should continue using the strengths to their advantage. Getting a straight A will require your child to be more strategic and focused but their strengths will still help them along the way.
