3 WAYS TO HELP A CHILD
OVERCOME MATHS CHALLENGES
Do you have a child who is struggling with Maths? Have you tried all you can to help him/her including employing a home lesson teacher to help out but you have not noticed any significant improvement in your child’s performance? Will you really like to help your child overcome his/her Maths nightmare forever?
If you answer yes to any of the above questions, I want to assure you that after reading this piece, you will be able to help your child overcome his or her maths challenges.
How Am I So Sure?
My name is Biodun Omosaku, I am the MD/CEO MathsPlus Nigeria, a leading accelerated learning outfit based in Nigeria, West Africa. I am also the author of the popular book – MATHS TRICKS FOR CHILDREN, Maths Made Easy Video Series and Nine other books.
I set out my profile so that you can know that this is my area and I know what I am talking about. These are the same techniques I have used to help many other children to overcome their learning challenges. This is what gives me the confidence that these three techniques will help your child overcome his or her Maths challenges.
Every Child Is Born With Maths Genius
Let me set the record right first. Every child is born with Maths genius. I mean every child! It is called CURIOSITY. Every child is born curious. That is why children ask a lot of questions.
A research on this subject indicated that in the average, a four years old child asks 437 questions per day. Can you imagine how curious they are? The sad news is that, by the time they are ten years old, they ask less than twenty questions per day. They would have been shut down by their parents or teachers – killing their natural curiosity (their natural Maths Geniuses)
Can you see how many children with great potential have been “de-genius” by their parents and ignorant teachers. Nurturing their curiosity is the best way to build their inborn intelligence for Maths.
Without wasting any time, let me give you the three keys to help any child who has challenges in Mathematics.
RIGHT MINDSET IS THE KEY TO MATHS MASTERY
The reason many children have challenges in Maths is because of their mindset about the subject. Success in Maths is more about Attitude. If we can get them to develop growth mindset, many children will do great in Maths.
When we asked many children that have challenges in Maths why they do, we got responses like:
-
I don’t just like Maths
-
Maths is boring
-
It is too hard
-
My brain can’t just carry Maths
-
My teacher made me hate maths
-
I lost interest in Maths etc
