Investigate the problem – Talk to your child’s teacher

The classroom teacher is the most important resource for any child’s learning of mathematics.

Teachers work with children every day and have an acute knowledge of their mathematics capabilities.

Once you have identified that your child has an issue in mathematics, your first step must be to talk to your child’s teacher.

Teachers welcome dialogue with parents – it allows a partnership between the teacher, you, and your child to develop. This partnership is an essential element in supporting quality teaching and learning for your child.
