Motivating your kids on math
•Be careful about messages you send your children, especially daughters. A few negative remarks can have damaging effects.
•Ask your children what they're learning in math class and offer to help with homework.
•Show ways you use math in your career and in daily life, and link those to what your children are learning.
•Mothers and fathers should both help their children so they see that anyone can do math.
