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.

Jump Math Work Books for
Grades 3 to 8
John Mighton, a Toronto mathematician, has written Jumpmath
workbooks for grades 3 to 6 cover primary school mathematics.
The workbooks for grades 7 and 8 (available fall 2006) may overlap site
material. Parents should consider chaperoning their children, grades 3 to
8, through the home versions of the workbooks. School versions exist
too. The jumpMath home and
school program says the following about itself
One feature
distinguishes our workbooks from regular math textbooks, however: in the
JUMP workbooks, teachers are consistently shown how to help students who
are having trouble moving forward by breaking mathematical concepts and
operations into the most basic elements of understanding and perception
in page of its Teacher
Manual for downloadable Fractions Units. Compare the distinguishing
feature with the inductive
principles for instruction in Volume 1B,
Mathematics Curriculum Notes. |

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.
