Expert Answer

As soon as they can identify a number, or shape, they're learning math. It's important to recognize that math skills are sequential, though. So it takes time to work up to the complex stuff. So long as your child is making progress, that's all you can ask for!

Question

How do I help my daughter do better on a two-minute math test?

Community Answer

Simulate the testing conditions, using a two minute timer and quizzing her for two minutes. Then during the actual test she won't panic.

How do I convince my parents that I am good at math?

Community Answer

Show them your skills that you have already obtained, search up the history of math and amaze them with a fun fact, and explain everything that you are doing in full detail as to interest them.

Question

I followed the steps, but my child won't answer any of the questions.

Community Answer

Perhaps your child would benefit from having a different teacher. Maybe you could hire a tutor (or ask someone else who understands math to step in).
