Teaching Math at Home

Parents have the responsibility of nurturing and taking care of their children.  Most parents realize that instilling a love of reading in their children is beneficial to their children’s future.  So everyone takes the time to read a story to their children to help instill this love of reading.  What have we done lately to instill a love of mathematics in our children’s life?

Many parents don’t like math or feel confident enough in their math skills to instill this love into their children.  But like reading, mathematics is one of the school subjects taught that is absolutely necessary for functioning in society effectively.  However, mathematics is one of the school subjects in the public school education system that is beginning to decline.  This means that the children in these systems can’t do basic mathematics by the time they graduate from high school. What does this mean to us as parents? This means that it becomes our job, as parents, to motivate our children to love mathematics.

Your attitude towards math greatly impacts your child’s attitude towards math.  If you show interest and an enthusiasm in math your child will also show interest. How do parents do this when they hate math? Take an interest in your child’s mathematics education.  Also, present activities around you to integrate math such as cooking, traveling, gardening, and play games.  Remember, the best person to educate your child is you.

Public School vs. Homeschooling

The public school system is rapidly changing for the worse.  The students that are becoming a product of this education system are not being held accountable for their learning and they are being socially passed on.  Students are also being tested so excessively that teachers are being instructed to teach to the standardized tests.

                

Most students coming out of our public school system can’t read, write, or do simple arithmetic.  Is this effectively teaching our children? No, but our public school system will not change for the better any time soon.  So what can you do to guarantee that your child receives the best education that you can find.

Homeschooling is an option for all families who don’t feel comfortable putting their children into the current public school system.  I understand that not all families will be able to afford, in this economy, to stay at home with their children 24 hours a day 7 days a week.  There are simple ways to help your children with their education that can be done at home in less than thirty minutes a day.  This will help your children learn what they need to know and not fall behind.

Most parents considering homeschooling or helping their children at home daily are also afraid to start the process because they don’t know if they would be able to teach their children effectively.  I have a question for you, who is going to be more effective in teaching your children, you or a teacher who teaches about 150 students a day?

To help with homeschooling there is 'Just One Chance'. How you can give your child a "Two Millimeter Advantage" to outperform, out compete, and outlast even the fiercest competition? Just One Chance is designed to give your high achiever an elite, competitive edge that you just won't find in the education system. Confident students, and confident people are the ones who succeed, and confidence is a skill anyone can master with the right help.CLICK HERE for details.
