We all know the importance of Mathematics. It’s in everything we do! However, this mere fact, doesn’t make the learning of Maths any easier. Maths can be one of the most challenging subjects in school today so it’s no wonder that many students tend to struggle. So, what can you do if your child is struggling with Maths?
Check the Basics!
Often one of the most common reasons that pupils struggle are because they have gaps in their early knowledge of the subject. Don't worry, our tutors can help to identify those gaps. Within the first session, our tutors will test the student's fluency of their written methods, understanding of key vocabulary and the application of mathematical knowledge to solve problems. From this, they will be able to identify the areas that need work. Think of it like a pyramid of cards! If the bottom cards, or early knowledge is not embedded, then the pyramid will come tumbling down, therefore inhibiting the student from learning more complex concepts later.
Make Learning Fun!
You'll need to turn their attitude from hate to love if you really want to boost their grades. By building Maths into everyday life, such as dealing with money, time, cooking measurements, sports statistics, they will begin to see the importance and relevance of the subject. By involving them in these tasks, you will begin to strip away their fear and develop their confidence to tackle Maths independently.
