8. SGUSD My Math Homework Tips
Be the “ the Guide on the Side.”
Let your child “show, share and express” the process learned in class to you. It may be different from methods you learned.
Do not feel that you need to re-teach your child.
Homework is an opportunity to practice skills introduced or reviewed in class each day.
Is your child stuck? Have him/her re-check the lesson on-line or use manipulatives. Let your child be the problem solver.
Let’s try some problem solving!
