Does your child suffer from math anxiety?
This is more of a common problem then one might think. Whether you are in sixth
grade or in college, math can cause quite a bit of stress for some people. There
are a few ways that you can help your child with their anxiety. Teaching some
relaxation techniques can help. What I have taught my child is to take a deep
breath in and slowly exhale a couple of times, while thinking positively that
you can do math!
Other ways to help with math anxiety, is just to prepare.
Besides having your child complete their math lessons,
you can have them practice their skills with practice tests. Math flash cards and
math games are also very helpful. Being prepared and thinking positive
can really help in overcoming anxiety.
You know, I needed to read this today. We had a bad day. My youngest has not been using her time well and she rushed through something and had to re-do it, which caused tears. I need to be more mindful of teaching them time management and relaxation techniques.

ReplyDeleteRead the details on time management, taking notes, and reading textbooks. You'll learn what works best for you the more you test out different strategies. To keep up with the rigorous pace of a college-level Math course, you must be present in class. Additionally, you will learn about tests and instructor expectations. Examples that are not found in the textbook will be shown. Regardless of whether you are in class or not, you are accountable for all the information and ideas discussed.
