FIVE clever revision strategies
It is not an easy task to assist your child’s maths learning and sometimes as a parent, you could feel a bit helpless. I hope I can provide a bit of help with my expertise as a maths teacher, I will send an email once a month to provide different tips and tricks you can help your child get better at their maths. Our first email is about taking a closer look at 5 clever strategies to supercharge your child's revision routine:
1) Mix It Up: Variety is the spice of maths! Encourage your child to explore different revision methods, like watching engaging videos, working through practice questions, or even teaching the concepts to a friend or family member. By mixing up their approach, they'll keep their revision sessions fresh and engaging.
2) Break It Down: Ever tried to eat a whole pizza in one bite? Exactly! Encourage your child to break down complex topics into smaller, more manageable pieces. Start with the basics and gradually build up to more advanced concepts. Our motto (on eating pizzas): Divide and conquer!
3) Time Flies When You're Having Fun: Revision doesn't have to be a bore! Set a timer and challenge your child to race against the clock while solving problems. Make it a game by offering small rewards for reaching certain milestones. Before they know it, they'll be zipping through their revision like a pro!
4) Staying positive and resilient: Maths can be tough, but a positive attitude goes a long way! Encourage your child to stay optimistic, even when they encounter challenges. Remind them that mistakes are a natural part of learning and that each one brings them closer to mastery. With the right mindset, they can conquer anything!
5) Celebrate Progress: Every step forward is worth celebrating! Take time to acknowledge your child's achievements, whether it's finally mastering a tricky concept or improving their problem-solving skills. A little encouragement goes a long way in boosting their confidence and motivation.
With these strategies in their toolkit, your child will be well-equipped to tackle any maths challenge that comes their way! Stay tuned for more tips and tricks in next month's email.
Happy revising!
