PLEASE make sure your child is practicing/ improving fine motor skills.
Many math errors occur because of poor digit formation and lack of spatial awareness.
Believe it or not... cursive is a great activity for practicing fine motor skills!
Also... tracing!
Remind your child that "nothing should touch" in math.
Digits and symbols should be properly spaced apart.
PLEASE make sure your child is practicing/ mastering basic math facts.
Many math errors occur simply because students don't know their basic facts.
(Addition, subtraction, multiplication, division)
Fluency... can your child answer math facts QUICKLY?
Accuracy... can your child answer math facts CORRECTLY?
I am a big fan of "three-cornered" math fact cards.
You can find them on Amazon!
