How to Help Your Child
Help your child read the problem carefully first — don't jump to math right away. Ask: 'What do we know? What are we trying to find?' Key words like 'total' and 'altogether' suggest addition, while 'left over' and 'difference' suggest subtraction. Drawing a picture often helps.
