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:
Understand Math Easier
How Your Child Can Reach Their #1 Math Goal:
Understand Math Easier
Does your child struggle to understand math in class?
What do they do when they get confused?
Do they immediately get frustrated?
Do they give up?
Do they conclude they just don’t have what it takes?
Do they say that they
are simply ‘stupid’? Have they tried asking questions but didn’t get satisfactory answers?
Do they struggle to finish homework, and when they finally do, they make a lot of mistakes?
The good news is, your child is able to understand math easier – understand much more without studying more.
The bad news is, they won't improve by using the simplistic and ineffective methods used at school – doing homework, watching videos, “solving more problems”.
Your child needs to change the way they learn math.
The schools teach children 2 key learning methods.
Both shockingly ineffective: passive learning and homework.
Your child needs to focus on active learning. They need to solve problems actively, using step by step methods.
Watching videos and reading examples from the textbook isn’t enough.
This is a mistake children make at all levels of math, from Pre-Algebra to Calculus.
Your child needs to solve at least 3 problems of each type, to gain an in-depth understanding.
They need to ask questions and make mistakes, instead of being afraid of them.
If their teacher’s answers are not satisfactory, your child should ask their tutor or go to the tutorial center (or ask someone else for help). Finally, they need to refresh and strengthen their math fundamentals. Their class doesn’t cover those, most teachers incorrectly assume that children have learned and mastered them – which can't be farther from the truth.
Strengthening the fundamentals will help your child speed up, understand math better, improve their confidence and be able to redirect their attention in class, and during studying, to understanding of the new concepts instead of digging through the fundamental math operations.

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.
