How can I help my child with math?

The children who have the most success with math are those who: use math daily in real-life situations such as cooking, counting money to pay for their own purchases, etc. understand that math is based on patterns have basic addition and subtraction facts memorized and can recall this information quickly practice problems over and over again until they have memorized all the steps in solving that type of problem understand math vocabulary words such as sum, difference, etc. read story problems carefully and can choose the important information that they will need in order to solve the problem find many different ways to solve the same problem ask questions if something doesn't make sense      I suggest that you make multiplication/division flashcards a daily routine so that the math facts become second nature to your child.  Your child can practice with the flashcards by himself/herself in the car and with you at home.  Those students who have the multiplication/division facts memorized already have a definite advantage when learning new skills!
