Your child needs help gaining practical understanding of math concepts, going through (completing and understanding) homework without being frustrated and overwhelmed, preparing for tests ahead of time (in a structured way) and covering essential fundamentals applicable for the upcoming math topics.
Their fundamentals level is very low, because they likely forgot or never learned them well. All of your child’s math difficulties are hurting their confidence, as they struggle with most math problems, with understanding math in class and with taking tests.Does your child often study for hours – with little to no progress? That’s a strong indication that they study ineffectively. Studying ineffectively slows down their progress by 3-5x. In addition to that, there is nothing more frustrating than wasting hours with absolutely no results.
It is definitely destroying your child’s confidence and motivation!
Conversely, with effective study skills, your child will progress much quicker, be able to solve harder and harder problems in a matter of minutes, and gain speed. The confidence and grade will follow. And so will willingness to study more. Without the frustration caused by studying for hours with no results, your child will feel much more encouraged and motivated to put more effort into math.
The key fact is: studying effectively isn’t difficult. It doesn’t require your child to study more. As matter of fact, it means that your child will understand more in less time.
It’s a matter of applying a few important principles and adopting them as habits. Your child needs to study actively, by solving problems and analyzing mistakes, not just reading the textbook or watching videos. They need to convert every mistake into a learning experience – analyze it, understand it and correct it. They need to apply the Rule of 3, after every mistake they understand, they need to solve at least 3 more examples of the same type to solidify their understanding. By making these critical changes to their study routine, your child will be able to feel progress every time they sit down to study math. It will motivate them to put in more effort and help them enjoy math more.
