Second Grade Math by Hooked On Math (frequently asked questions)
Q. Q. My child just shuts down when it comes to math but likes reading and other subjects. What can I do?
A. The "I hate math" attitude could really mean "I don't understand math." Perhaps your child needs a different approach. Try fun, everyday activities like cooking, construction, or gardening to bring mathematics to life. Have fun with math together, and be lavish with praise for all accomplishments.
Q. Are computer math programs good for children?
A. They're great when combined with other learning methods and activities. While many programs provide a stimulating, fun way of learning and practicing math facts and problem solving, a child still needs to be able to apply concepts in the real world. Following a computer session, ask your child to show you what he has learned. Then find a way to use the same skill in your kitchen, playroom, or backyard.
