EDU 293 Lesson 5
We all know that reading is very important when it comes to learning. Teachers always say make sure your student reads at least 20 minutes a day. Parents typically comply with this and make their children read at home or parent read to them, but what about math? Like ELA math is a huge subject in education, and math is a subject that builds off each other. Meaning if a
student doesn’t understand the basics they are get lost even further in the future. When at home students should feel comfortable asking for help and please remember parents just relax. Talia Berkowitz and Majorie Schaeffer states in their article Math at home adds up to achievement in school that, “
A widely held belief among parents is that children’s math education is primarily the responsibility of schools and that their role in supporting their children’s math learning is not as important as their role in supporting their children’s reading”. Learning should always continue at home. Teaching math should not end when a student walks out of the school doors . However, teaching or helping with math can be very difficult and as student progress through the grades it only becomes more and more difficult. Coming from a home, where both of my parents were from Mexico, learned English as their second language, and having English as my second language it became difficult for my parents to help me with any of my homework, especially if I didn’t even understand it. If my teacher would have shown strategies to both me and my parents’ homework at would be so much easier. The presentation that I have created will teach you how to help your students to solve word problems. The English
language can be difficult for some but by following these steps you will notice that you won’t have to be fluent in English to help your children out. Breaking the math problem into steps makes sure the student is finding the correct answer and if the answer is wrong we can find out where the mistake happened. Now the second topic is relaxing, students will panic if they see
their parents panic. Sara Hart says in her article Understanding the Home Math Environment and
its Role in Predicting Parent Report of Children’s Math Skills, “
high parent math anxiety was negatively associated with children's math performance when children also had higher math anxiety”. We do not want to stress out, help the student to the best of your capabilities and if they
need any more assistance there is always the option of messaging the teacher.
Math at home shouldn’t be something we should be afraid of. I hope that having these mini lessons on the strategies assists with continuing the learning at home. Remember to relax and follow the steps and math will become easy for both the parents and the students.
