Mathematics Counts & Science Matters!
Parent-Child Path to Success
Step 1: Start the school year on the right foot.
- There is more to "Back to School" than clothes and supplies. Talk to your child about why learning is important and help her set goals for the year.
Step 2: Get to know your child's teachers and let them know you.
- Ask what your child will be learning in math and science, and how your child's progress will be measured.
Step 3: Homework is important!
- Be sure your child understands and completes homework assignments. Be available to answer questions and offer encouragement.
Step 4: Reinforce math and science learning skills.
- Turn daily activities around the house into learning experiences. Ask your child to help you measure, estimate, and count. Help make learning fun!
Setp 5: Identify problem areas early.
- Know your child's progress and test scores. Talk to his teacher if your child is struggling with math and science.
Step 6: Get a tutor if your child needs extra help.
- Many schools and community organizations offer free or affordable tutoring.
