Teaching maths to my kids..

I did until he was in 3rd grade. But when he got to 4th grade their math really got so advanced they already had algebra and geometry.

I am not good at maths. So my husband will help my son in maths. You are quite right. Today all the school subjects are not easy at all. Not many parents can know how to teach their children. As to me, I am glad that I can still teach my son English.

My daughter is just 15 months old. Still early for that type of teaching. I do teacher her words, names, animal sounds..etc.

WE never taught our 2 sons but did help them.

I do love math but I would not want to teach it.

I have not been good at teaching and math is not my specialty.

As we had no kids, we did not have the occasion to teach to them. My hubby is great in math, I like less.

I was a teacher. lol. I didn't have much patience for my own children, but they did fine on their own.

I don't have kids at home any longer. I hope they do well.

No, Sir. The syllabus is as it should have been. They are just learning simple basics of an area, perimeter, conversion etc. There is one formula for a square and one for a rectangle which is not hard at all to learn (not mug up) Try and explain them in a stepwise manner. And discourage them mugging up the solution. That's a sure fire way to flunk Maths. Also, if they have a solid foundation in their earlier years, I assure you that at later levels they will not need your assistance or even outside tutors. I have been telling these stuff for years to all parents that earlier years are formative years. If the kids have solid understanding and base right from their pre-schooling then they are able to self-study and excel in their subjects in later years when it becomes most important for them to do well.

my son is 10 years old, He is in 5th standard, I taught him maths, he scored A, while I was in school, I scored C, amazing isn't it?

I find it hard to teach mine because what they are taught nowadays is difficult for me.

@sjvg1976 I'm unmarried,but I used to teach my younger brother and sister when they were in class 7 and 8 respectively.Since maths was my favourite subject,I had no problem in teaching them.
