For better math results, encourage reading

Many teens don't make the most of their math assignments. They see their math textbook only as a place to find the problems they are assigned. But a math book is also a resource for understanding the "why" of a math method. Encourage your teen to get into the habit of reading the explanations and solving sample problems in the book before starting to solve the assigned problems.

Para mejores resultados en matemáticas, fomente la lectura

Muchos jóvenes no aprovechan al máximo los trabajos de matemáticas. Ellos solo acuden al libro de texto de esta materia para encontrar los problemas asignados. Pero el libro de texto también es un recurso para comprender el "porqué" de los métodos matemáticos. Anime a su joven a adquirir el hábito de leer las explicaciones y resolver los problemas de ejemplo del libro antes de comenzar a resolver los problemas asignados.

Daily Tips for Families Math is a subject that builds on itself. Each new concept involves material that came before. That's why it's so important for teens to do math regularly. Falling behind makes it harder for students to learn each new lesson.

Promote learning by doing it together

You don't have to be an expert in academic subjects to help your student learn. Lots of activities you can do together at home promote learning. You might pick two news editorials that express opposing viewpoints on the same issue and share them with your teen. After reading them, ask for your teen's suggestions about how the issue should be handled. Or, have your teen pick a new recipe and cook it together. You might also help your student feel a personal connection to history by talking with older relatives to learn their stories.

Para promover el aprendizaje, conviértalo en una actividad compartida

Usted no necesita ser un experto en las materias académicas para ayudar a su estudiante a aprender. Hay muchas actividades que pueden hacer juntos en casa para promover el aprendizaje. Podría escoger dos editoriales que expresen puntos de vista opuestos sobre el mismo tema y mostrárselos a su joven. Después de leerlos, pregúntele cómo cree que se deberían abordar esos asuntos. O deje que escoja una receta y cocínenla juntos. También podría ayudarlo a sentir una conexión personal con la historia sugiriéndole que hable con familiares mayores para aprender sobre sus vidas en el pasado.
