I do have a vague memory of having trouble in understanding addition when I was in kindergarten. I also remember that my teacher gave me individual attention and explained the concept to me: a bulb lit in my brain and I started understanding everything taught in my class. I guess I was lucky to have excellent math teachers when I was completely dependent on someone else to explain the concept to me. My love for math can be testified by the fact that I did my bachelor in Computer Science with a minor in Mathematics. I assumed automatically that my children will inherit my love. Alas! I was in for a surprise. My world came crashing down when my firstborn told me that he hated math. He was in grade 2 when he uttered these words to shatter me to my mathematics core!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">It was time for some drastic measures. I didn&#8217;t want him to &#8220;unhate&#8221; math just to satisfy my innate desire for him to love the same thing that I loved. It was because I knew how difficult it is to professionally succeed in life without being good at math. I know it is not impossible. Doctors don&#8217;t really need to know math. However, being a mother, I didn&#8217;t want to restrict his professional choices.<br>Now, I will tell you about the exact steps I took for taking my son from the point of extreme dislike for math to a point where math became one of his favorite subjects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\"><strong>1. Work on a child&#8217;s basic concepts:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/obsidiansofteducation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Asset2.png\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">I sat down with my son and discussed openly why he hated math in Grade 2. I knew that he understood the concepts of addition and subtraction. I also knew that he knew his multiplication tables quite well. I had made my <a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.obsidiansoft.mathsflashcards\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Multiplication Flash Cards App <\/a>just for this purpose i.e. for learning and testing multiplication tables and he used to get full marks in it. After discussion, I realized that he was getting confused in deciding when to divide and when to multiply in math word problems. I worked on his concepts and gave him essential common sense tips about when to divide and when to multiply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><br><strong>2. Make math interesting:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/obsidiansofteducation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Screenshot2020-08-21at8.45.46PM.png\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Once I knew that my son had the basic idea about handling math word problems, I tried to make his learning experience fascinating and fun. We used color pencils, blocks and crayons to practice problems of multiplication and division. We talked about ice-creams, cakes, candies, pizzas, etc. when thinking of word problems. The goal was to associate happiness with math. I had to wipe his slate of fear clean and what better way to do this than to talk about the things he loved!\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\"><strong>3. Practice, practice and practice:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/obsidiansofteducation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/345743-PAIU7P-134.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">The essence of excelling in math is practice. No one made me practice math at home when I was younger and I did it on my own. However, nowadays, children don&#8217;t practice as there are too many distractions in the form of Xbox games, cartoons, youtube videos, etc. Usually, a child does math practice only when he\/she gets math homework from school. This is not enough practice!\u00a0You need to do some math every day so that it becomes a habit or second nature. I did the same with my son. I gave him just 2-3 sums every day. I didn&#8217;t give him sums on the day he had math homework from school but on all other days, I made him practice and do some sums. 2-3 sums are more than enough for a grade 2 child. More may overwhelm him\/her! My son practiced every day and started finding math easier and easier. Soon, he got over his acute fear of math. He started excelling in math tests and exams and I was a happy mom.<br>After a couple of months of regular math practice, he started saying that math was one of his favorite subjects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Unfortunately, this is not the end of the story. My steps for making math a favorite subject are kind of circular. Every time a new math concept is introduced, you have to repeat the same steps. This way you will make sure that the child has a good understanding of his\/her concepts, associates them with happiness and practices a few sums every day.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.khanacademy.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Khan Academy<\/a>\u00a0is a good site for understanding math concepts. You can make an account as a parent and add your children to it. You will have free access to math by grades. Your children can look at teaching videos, do practice and attempt quizzes and tests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">For younger children, Khan Academy is amazing for practice but for older children, I still believe in the good, old paper and pencil approach. The reason for this is that in some countries, there are marks for actual problem-solving steps and not just for the answer. Hence, I normally use Khan Academy for helping me in teaching the math concepts and I give the actual practice questions from the exercise in my son&#8217;s math book. Another reason for going for paper pencil instead of Khan Academy for practice is time management. You can read more about this\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/obsidiansofteducation.blogspot.com\/2020\/08\/time-management-in-maths.html\">here<\/a>.<br>The following picture is the essence of what I have talked about in this blog. A picture is worth a 1000 words so I made a picture.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/obsidiansofteducation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/maths-infographics.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">\u00a0I started using exactly the same approach with my younger one when he started school and math easily became his most, most favorite subject. I hope my steps help those parents who are devastated to hear that their children don&#8217;t like math. Please feel free to comment or ask questions. I would love to hear from you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Please like my social media pages for more educational resources and tips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Facebook:<\/strong>&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/ObsidianSoft\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/ObsidianSoft\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Instagram:<\/strong>&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/obsidiansoftapps\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/obsidiansoftapps\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Pinterest:<\/strong>&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/obsidiansoft\/\">https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/obsidiansoft\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">For links to free educational apps, have a look at the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/obsidiansofteducation.com\/index.php\/mobile-apps\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">educational apps page<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Subscribe to my&nbsp;<strong>YouTube Channel<\/strong>&nbsp;for educational videos for coding, mental math and phonics:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/c\/obsidiansofteducation\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/c\/obsidiansofteducation<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Math was always easy for me.
