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:
Truly Understand Math And Learn Effective Study Skills
How Your Child Can Reach Their #1 Math Goal:Truly Understand Math And Learn Effective Study Skills
Does your child understand math concepts “for the most part” but frequently struggles with solving problems?
Can they follow along in class but get stuck when working independently?
Do they encounter problems they aren't prepared for on tests, in spite of studying a lot and feeling well-prepared?
Many children experience these problem – at all levels of math!
During our consultations, we meet with students at all math levels, including students taking AP and Honors classes.
Some get decent (or even really good) grades and can solve many problems.
Despite that, it doesn’t take more than several minutes to find problems they are really confused about, or even have no idea how to solve.
It’s shocking!
To truly understand math, your child needs to expand beyond school’s surface-level fixation on homework and tests. Give up on the idea that solving a few examples and finishing homework is enough.
It isn’t.
Your child needs to approach studying methodically.
Your child needs to stop thinking of math in terms of grades. They need to start thinking in terms of understanding and solving.
To illustrate the point: one of the most common issues with school math is the difference between the homework scores and test scores. Many parents are shocked to find out that a good homework score doesn’t mean their child mastered the material.
Not even close!
Your child needs to go beyond homework and focus on:
Variations of problems and combinations will allow your child to experience and understand concepts from different angles and perspectives. It will allow them to see how the elements of concepts connect and interact. That, along with in-depth analysis of their mistakes will develop their deep step-by-step understanding. By using this learning style, they will understand math at much deeper level than they could ever reach in class.

Your child needs to go beyond homework and focus on:
- variations of problems
- combinations of concepts
- analyzing mistakes – and correcting them
- step by step understanding
- asking questions (especially targeted and “why” questions)
- solving independently
Variations of problems and combinations will allow your child to experience and understand concepts from different angles and perspectives. It will allow them to see how the elements of concepts connect and interact. That, along with in-depth analysis of their mistakes will develop their deep step-by-step understanding. By using this learning style, they will understand math at much deeper level than they could ever reach in class.
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.
