Before we can help our children overcome math anxiety, we must first address any negative feelings that we, as parents, have on the subject. If you have said things in the past like, “I’m not good at math,” or “I don’t like math,” remember that your child is learning this attitude from you. Communicating your discomfort with math may not only increase your child’s anxiety, it could also lower their success and confidence.

It’s so comforting when events follow a logical progression, and this logic is a wonderfully mathematical concept. Any great math tutoring service will address logical thinking, and our Mathnasium math learning centers help students with their logic skills both inside and outside the classroom.

The best way to start your day is with a good dose of vitamin C and boosted math skills! We wish we could say that our math learning centers offered both, but while the boosted math skills is exactly what our math learning program does, you’re going to have to get your vitamin C from this week’s word problem challenge (and from your morning glass of orange juice).
