This is my new acronym for what I recommend to parents who ask me how they can best help their children with math.
Qu - Questions: Ask questions if you don't fully understand something. Write down your questions while doing homework. Ask for help. Raise your hand during class if you need clarification. Don't be afraid to ask questions.
I - Integration: Math shows up everywhere and in many other subjects. Parents who integrate math language into everyday life and who point out where and how math is being used daily will help their children to make these connections.
P - Practice: Math is a skill that requires some practice. Just as in music, some people are naturally more talented, but everyone has the potential to improve with practice.
