<\/div>\nMaths is one of the major subjects, which students of varying age and levels generally feel is the most difficult. This is because Math is a study of numbers, shapes, structures and changes. Studying Maths requires a logical and analytical mind. Because of this, many children dislike Math because it requires mastery and presence of mind, in other words, studying Maths requires effort.<\/p>\n
You, as a parent may be at a loss sometimes because you yourself might be frustrated with the subject. Others ask help from professional tutors because they cannot contain their frustration when teaching the kids. I can tell you from experience that hiring tutors is not the answer.<\/span><\/p>\n As a Math teacher for many years (who happens to love the subject very much), I would like to give you 3 simple tips on how you can help develop in your children the affection (if not love) for Maths:<\/span><\/p>\n Introduce Maths or teach Maths in fun ways<\/b> from the very beginning.<\/b><\/p>\n Starting early and making it fun creates a perception in a young mind that Maths is interesting and essential. You can teach Maths through songs, flash card or games. What is most important is you give examples of word problems through your daily life situation. Children need to understand that Math is practical and not just a concept.<\/span><\/p>\n Example: \u201cAmie, we have 5 cookies. Mommy will get 1 and Amie will get 1. How many do we have left? How many do we give to dad?\u201d \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Give a challenging but practical question to your children weekly.<\/b><\/p>\n The aim of this is to build curiosity in our children, which will make them into independent Math students. Once this is a habit, they will try to solve Maths word problems by themselves.<\/span><\/p>\n Assign the children to create their own problems and ask you.<\/b><\/p>\n This exercise allows them to gain confidence as they make the problem. This kind of practice allows their thought processes to see solutions to various practical problem.<\/span><\/p>\n Most importantly, always communicate with your child\u2019s teacher so you will know the progress that your child is making. Math teachers like me are always willing and ready to help, since we want everyone to love Maths like we do.<\/span><\/p>\n Ms. Bintari have been teaching Singaporean Math to SIS students for more than 10 years.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Be online, rather than offline The idea is simple: if being online is so fraught with danger, why not just stay offline? But that\u2019s not the answer because in today\u2019s technology-rich society, being familiar \u2013 and capable \u2013 with technology is a big plus and a potential differentiator between your children and someone they\u2019re up against for a place in school or college or even the workplace. The \u201csocial media can be used to their advantage. Employers can be VERY impressed by all that innovative, creative, stuff they\u2019ve done online \u2013 the cool images, that website they built, those mobile apps they developed, those insights they posted to their blog, the personal and business networks they\u2019ve built and maintain etc. The bottom line is: Be online but be responsible about it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":7360,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_relevanssi_hide_post":"","_relevanssi_pin_for_all":"","_relevanssi_pin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_unpin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_include_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_exclude_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_no_append":"","_relevanssi_related_not_related":"","_relevanssi_related_posts":"","_relevanssi_noindex_reason":"","footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[43,47,38],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7357","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-education","category-faculty-writing","category-sis-cilegon-blog-posts"],"wps_subtitle":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sisschools.org\/sis-cilegon\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7357","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sisschools.org\/sis-cilegon\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sisschools.org\/sis-cilegon\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sisschools.org\/sis-cilegon\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sisschools.org\/sis-cilegon\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7357"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/sisschools.org\/sis-cilegon\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7357\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sisschools.org\/sis-cilegon\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7360"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sisschools.org\/sis-cilegon\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7357"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sisschools.org\/sis-cilegon\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7357"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sisschools.org\/sis-cilegon\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7357"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
