The Mathematics Workshop

Most students who struggle with Maths do so for these reasons:

1/ Because they have forgotten their basic skills
2/ Because they never understood the basics to start with
3/ A combination of 1 & 2

So why do most Maths teachers expect their students to be able to understand advanced Maths when they don’t even understand the basics? How can your child have any hope of advancing in Maths when they don’t have a grasp of the basics?

So what’s the answer?

It’s simple – Learn, understand and practice the basics. Even advanced Maths boils down to basic Maths. So the basics are really the foundation for any advanced Maths. And not relying on the calculator to do it!

And another key thing about learning the basics is that once your child has a handle on them, they’ll know they can do some Maths! They’ll become more confident with each successfully completed exercise and are more likely to be willing to have a go at harder Maths.

But won’t they fall even further behind at school if they spend their time focusing on the basics?

The fact is that if your child doesn’t learn the basics they won’t be able to progress beyond certain points in Maths. If key areas of basic Maths are learnt in a specific sequence designed to get progressively harder with each exercise, then your child can make steady progress in Maths.
