Ways to help children solve math learning difficulties

★ Carry out life-oriented mathematics tutoring activities.

Parents should develop and apply free, active, novel and creative counseling strategies as far as possible by creating and setting up life-like and game-like situations to enhance their children's learning motivation, interest and effectiveness.

★ Flexible arrangement of counseling process and content

The counseling process should follow the principle of concrete → semi-concrete → abstract. First, guide children to observe real and concrete things.

Simple operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication and division can be replaced by fruits and small toys. Compared with words and numbers on paper, concrete things can stimulate children's understanding and interest in calculation.

For example, parents can guide their children to develop their hands-on ability, present topics with origami and other items, and use this semi-specific method to facilitate their observation and deepen their understanding.

★ Put forward reasonable requirements and give timely feedback.

When giving guidance to children, parents should set reasonable expectations according to their real level. They should be highly alert and observant of their own strengths and weaknesses, praise them in time, and don't label them negatively.

There are opportunities for children to observe and imitate the good learning skills of their peers, including how to practice, how to review, how to make a schedule and so on.
