When testing concepts more complex than addition or subtraction, allow students to use calculators to make basic steps quicker and more accessible. Then, a student can focus on demonstrating what she knows — not how well she can add in her head.Assigning 10 problems, rather than a full page, is enough to assess a student’s understanding.The prospect of practicing math skills is sometimes daunting and challenging for parents, especially if you never felt like a math whiz yourself.
Allow your child to use a calculator whenever possible, to reduce the amount of math he needs to do in his head.Learn as much as you can about your child’s condition, and help him understand that his math-related challenges do not mean he’s “stupid” or “lazy.” Give positive encouragement whenever you can, and try not to get frustrated if your child is struggling with a basic concept — if he senses you’re upset, it will only make him more nervous and unwilling to practice.
