Your Child’s Situation
Your Child’s Situation
Your child’s homework score is high or perhaps even 100%, but that doesn’t carry over to their grades on tests and quizzes.
This situation can be very frustrating and confusing. To both your child and you. How can it be possible? How can your child do so well on homework and yet so poorly on tests? Shouldn't your child's great homework performance indicate their high math level?
Unfortunately, that's not the case.
Homework isn't a reflection of your child's math level.
Here is why:
Your child understands many problems, but has hard time solving them independently, especially under pressure (thus, low quiz and test scores). Some concepts are easy for them while others are very challenging.
When those challenging problems occur on the homework, your child can look through their notes, ask their friends for help or simply solve them incorrectly (and still get a full score, that's right).
On the other hand, when the challenging concepts occur on tests, your child gets confused and loses a lot of points.
Homework doesn't teach math.
It simply reinforces the mistakes, and makes your child feel as though they are making progress. In reality, they aren't – which is apparent to you based on their test scores.
Your child needs help bridging the gap between their homework and tests:
They need to learn how to solve problems independently. They need to use deep learning to really understand math concepts. Not just those they get on the homework but the whole variety, including special cases and challenging cases.
Instead of simply completing homework for the grade, they need to use homework to actually learn. Then, they need to expand on the homework, to tackle the concepts that are most challenging for them. They also need to strengthen their fundamentals, for success and confidence in their current and future math classes. And math fundamentals are, unfortunately, also not included in the homework.
Doing well on homework and struggling with tests makes many children lose their confidence very quickly. Putting in the effort with no results, over and over again, makes them very frustrated and discouraged.
Your child already struggles with independent solving, along with (likely) fundamental math concepts, and losing even more confidence is only adding to the problem.

Homework isn't a reflection of your child's math level.
Here is why:
- this might shock you but getting 100% on homework doesn't mean your child actually solved all (or even most) of the problems correctly
- homework tends to be easier than tests
- homework often doesn't include all concepts that occur on tests
- homework doesn't have a time limit, and tests do
- homework is open-notes and tests aren't

How Your Child Can Reach Their #1 Math Goal:
Eliminate Math Anxiety
How Your Child Can Reach Their #1 Math Goal:
Eliminate Math Anxiety
Does your child get anxious or even cry before math tests?
Do they get so anxious that they simply refuse to study math?
Do they “freeze” during tests, leave problems blank even when they know how to solve them?
If so, you need to alleviate your child's suffering as soon as possible.
Math anxiety is, unfortunately, too common.
Are you wondering why your child is suffering from it?
There may be many causes:
You need to alleviate your child's anxiety as soon as possible.
How?
By eliminating its root cause.
Imagine that every time you solve a problem, you make mistakes you just can't figure out...
no matter how hard you try.
That's what doing homework feels like to your child.
Endless stream of problems...
every single one reminding them how much they don't know.
Add to that being stressed out by a time limit...
and now you know what your child experiences during tests.
Your child wants to do well! They want to make you proud. They want to do as well as their friends.
But they are not prepared well enough. They don't have strong math foundations, so they solve problems slower. They study “shallow” so they have seen most of the problems, but they don't remember them in detail. Maybe they saw the teacher solve them, but they can't solve them independently.
So they struggle during tests, stress out, make mistakes, stress out more and run out of time.
On top of that, they lack confidence so they question their work every step of the way... even if it's correct!
All of these issues contribute to their anxiety.
Every time they do math, they feel overwhelmed, stuck and hopeless.
They feel like a failure.
They feel stupid.
What a lot of our clients found, is that being well prepared for tests significantly reduces or eliminates these anxieties.
When your child is well-prepared, the guess-work is gone.
They know exactly what to do, and how to do it.
They aren't anxious.
They are confident.
They have a crystal-clear vision of how to solve problems.
When their fundamentals are strong, they can solve problems quicker because they don't get stuck on small steps over and over... and over again.
They see a problem,
they know what to do,
and how to do it.
No stress. No anxiety.
There are 3 first steps your child needs to take to eliminate their math anxiety.

Are you wondering why your child is suffering from it?
There may be many causes:
- your child may be anxious about doing well under pressure – particularly on tests.
- your child may be stressed out about solving challenging problems they are not confident about.
- your child may be stressed out about math in general – getting stuck, not understanding it and feeling “stupid”.
- your child may have had bad math experiences – bad teachers, low grades or impatient tutors.

There are 3 first steps your child needs to take to eliminate their math anxiety.
- use deep learning and practice fundamentals to gain a thorough understanding of concepts, which means your child won't feel anxious about encountering challenging or surprising problems on the tests, and will confidently solve any problem that might occur
- learn solving and thinking independently to get through problems with no guidance, so they stop being anxious about getting stuck and are able to trust their abilities and knowledge without asking anyone for help
- practice multiple variations of problems to gain exposure to variety of cases that might occur on tests (even those that homework doesn't cover), which means your child will stop getting anxious about encountering problems or cases that weren't covered in the homework or in class, and can be confident in their ability to perform well, whether or not homework is comprehensive (and we already know it is not)
Your Child’s Potential For Improvement
Your Child’s Potential For Improvement
Your child needs to learn multiple variations of problems. Each topics consists of several major types your child needs to master to do well. Even if the homework doesn't include all of them, tests most likely do.
Your child needs to solve problems independently to gain confidence, feel strong and be prepared for tests. Simply solving problems isn't enough.
In order for your child to understand math concepts in-depth and build the foundation for success in their future math classes, they need to become fluent and confident in the fundamentals of math.
Your child needs to use homework and expand on it to identify and eliminate their unique weaknesses, instead of simply completing the homework. It will help them get better grades, progress faster, gain confidence and so much more.
