Teaching a struggling student math can be very overwhelming. So take one step at a time.

The first step is to determine what they know and don't know.

• Can they count to one hundred?
• Can they add +0 to +9 with ease?

If they can do these, you are on the winning stretch -- the rest is much easier to teach. After all, math generally is best taught as a system. eg. times 4 is simply a double plus a double.

Then build on, and add to, their existing strengths.

To learn math skills, students need to master a great number of skills. Parents and educators can be shown how to be better equipped to empower these students to meet the challenges of math. Proven techniques and worksheet on site can enrich your child's learning experience.
