lessons to help parents understand the mathematics taught to their children? An article in Ed Week shows that the idea seems to be very popular in the U.S., aided also by the fact that mathematics plays a key role in the preparation of the third millennium. Here then is that the schools in various districts organize activities for meetings to encourage parents to take a more active role in learning their children and to understand how to teach this discipline today, too often so confusing, and workshops during the weekend and so on.
Everything fits perfectly in the heightened attention that the policy is investing in improving curricula and teaching of mathematics in elementary school, even peréh research shows that safety and a commitment to mathematics seem to be the keys to success .
Parents are interested in learning more: about the tendency to sacrifice the traditional strategies of arithmetic to teach students reasoning ability and problem solving, on the most suitable way to help their children with homework, in about new strategies that children use to learn math.
There are attempts to involve the parents - who will sign a pledge at the time of enrollment in school - reading and learning of science and all are doing well. However, mathematics has a special place: it is for children to develop the "sense" of the numbers and different strategies to solve problems rather than just the traditional unique strategy: the children themselves will then decide what to do.
There is no agreement on the prerequisites of math that parents should have to help their children seems to be essential to encourage the children to explain their answers.
