I know that some of my students' parents want to help their children at home but may not understand how we teach math particularly problem-solving models and mental math strategies.
Fortunately, there are some great resources available for parents to use with their child at home. I actually sent some of these resources to a parent this week so she understood different ways her son was representing his understanding of multiplication. Students are very fortunate when they have parental support at home with their learning; it's even more powerful when the parents have an understanding of how they can help by equipping them with appropriate resources.
