I think it is so wonderful when parents (mothers especially) get involved in their daughter's learning of math and science.
Okay i'll get off my soap box.  |
Yes I shared that I also struggled with math at this age - the difference between us, is I was too shy to ask for help and my daughter is getting help from the teacher as well. She got 90's last term, so I sense she's upset this will bring her mark down this term, but I told her not to worry. I've also told her, once she gets the process of learning this, she'll feel triumphant. Thank you for the encouragement Googley.
