What may be learnt and when depends on how skills
and concepts are developed. Making the hard easier and clearer will allow
earlier & richer development of skills and concepts.

Books & Websites for Mathematics students 14 to adult
For the last years of high school and the first years of college, site
directories on three skills for algebra, geometry and calculus at this website
point to material your child or teen should learn.
The mathematics videos review, cover or introduce algebra, arithmetic,
logic, geometry, trigonometry, complex numbers and calculus (why slopes). These
videos are intended for students, 14 to adult, and teachers at all levels.
Future developments at this site may include problem sets, exercises and so
forth, if economics justify this.
Suggest that your child or teen to read each word, each sentence and
each example in given class notes or textbooks. Provide help or feedback while
you can.
Barron's Educational Series
The company Barron's Educational Series, Inc., ( www.barronseduc.com
) has a series of books on mathematics
- Arithmetic the Easy Way
- Algebra the Easy Way
- Business Mathematics the Easy Way
- Calculus the Easy Way
- Geometry the Easy Way
- Statistics the Easy Way
- Trigonometry the Easy Way
which could serve as presents for your child or teen, 14 to adult, before the
corresponding course begins.
But your child or teen may lack the interest or inclination to look at
reference works or different viewpoints. Many have the great expectation that
the mathematics teacher for his or her class knows what is to be learnt and how
to best present it.
Beyond this intelligence comes from the willingness to learn and the struggle
to learn. Those that learn easily, that is without thought, may have good
memories but little intelligence.

What to do in School & Why
E.How to Study Mathematics
To read, write and spell, your children need to
learn and memorize the alphabet. Anything less would be absurd. That being
said, learning and using mathematics demands that your children meet key
skills and concepts, and not skip any. Where local schools do not provide the
latter, you need to provide remedies.
Care and Precision: If your child can learn
to follow multi-step methods carefully and precisely in arithmetic, he or she
may do so in other subjects, as well. Get your child or teen, if you
can, to sit down and study. Suggest he or she aim for skill and concept
development and perfection for their own sake, not that of their teachers.
The will to learn is the key to success in
school. Parents do have to be educated to support or guide their
children and teens. What matters more is support for the will to learn, for
children and teens to be told to try to learn and to ask teachers, their
schools or classmates for help and more help, as needed. Teachers and parents
need to push students, help them find the will to learn, teamwork helps.
The main reason and focus for high school
mathematics is or should be preparation for calculus. That requires skill and
knowledge perfection with fractions, algebra, geometry, trig and functions.
Many high school programs do not provide this. Make sure alone or with
help that your children and teens have a good command of
fractions.
