Help Your Child DO Maths even if you DON'T: 10 things that anyone can do to help their child with maths

by Dr Rosemary Russell, Adrian Russell (Illustrator)

If you want your child to do well in maths this book is a great place to start. In a quick and easy to read format it outlines 10 important points that will help you to help them more effectively. And all without doing any maths whatsoever! Parents know how important it is for their children to be confident in maths, but many feel burdened by their own struggles with it. Rosemary Russell, who has a PhD for her research into Parents Helping Their Children With Mathematics, shows how any parent or care-giver – good at maths or not – can help give their child a can-do attitude to maths. Whatever your own feelings about maths, you can help build your child’s confidence with the subject and pass on positive attitudes towards learning. This book gives some simple suggestions for where to start.

This is a pamphlet rather than a book. It was worth 99p on Kindle as an ebook but if I’d bought it full price I’d have been disappointed. Easy read with advice for parents about supporting kids positively and relating maths to real life. The main takeaway for me was to start where the child is at by asking them to explain how they got there.
