When given school work and exercises, the child must at least ATTEMPT to understand the questions and show some steps.
( NO BLANKS are allowed as this encourages the child to be habitually “helpless” and dependent on others for answers.)
Any attempts to do the exam questions, will have a chance of being right and getting method marks.

Using Algebra as a problem solving strategy is strongly encouraged
However, your child must be able to understand the story sum in order to be able to apply concepts of algebra in her solution.

General Weak Areas
Conversion of units of measurement
Eg. 3.08 km = _____ m
Conversion of fractions/percentage/decimals
Area, Perimeter & Volume : Remembering formulas & applying it correctly
Eg. Area of triangle – locating the correct base and height
Finding cube root/square root

Reduce Fear Factor

HELP OUR CHILDREN LIKE MATHS

How your child can score better in Math in simple ways
Present her methods neatly and clearly
Show what she has found by putting short phrases to minimise confusion.
Eg. 560 – (10 x 2) = 540 [Millie’s share]
Handwriting is important.
Eg. 0 and 6
Ask questions during and after lessons to clarify

Structures to follow : Joseph has 1500 marbles. His mother gives him 300 more. How many marbles does he have now? Working 1500 + 300 = 1800 Ans : 1800 marbles ? 1500 300
