Does your Child "Hate" Math?

Feb 12, 2021 | Mira Mesa & Scripps Ranch
Many parents wonder why their child has such a strong distaste for math?
 

Majority of students that claim they "hate" math are speaking from a place of despair and frustration. The truth of the matter is that they do not hate math, they are just struggling to understand the math being currently taught which is then taking a toll on their overall confidence and perception of the subject. 

 
You'd be surprised to find that many of our tutors, including our directors, struggled with math themselves at one point in their education! We are living proof that with the right support and tools, everyone can be successful in math!
 
So what can you do if math time is causing your household stress?
 
  • Students thrive in a learning environment so the first step to set your child up for success is to find the best fit for them.  
    • Mathnasium offers online and in-person instruction so that we can provide your family with a structured teaching environment depending on their learning preferences.
 
  • The schools in San Diego Unified School District are teaching most of their students this new wave of math called "Common Core Math."  This has been a huge moment of defeat for guardians when trying to help your child and being told your approach is nothing like they are learning in school!  
    • Mathnasium teaches both traditional math and common core math so that you don't have to spend time learning this new approach and then trying to explain it to your child; our math-loving instructors will tackle this task for you!
 
  • The last tool that will help your child's math skills grow, their confidence increase and help them regain their love for learning is to ensure they have a strong foundation. Math is piggybacked from one year onto the next so if your child is struggling, they most likely have gaps in their foundation.  
    • Mathnasium's grade level assessments assist families in identifying these gaps so we can use our visual material to teach the concept in a way that makes sense to your child!
