The development of strong, deep Algebraic thinking is the most important prerequisite for success in in higher level mathematical reasoning and application in problem solving in later life. Mastery and application of the basic components of math at middle school is critical for use in later career and life. Guiding Purposes in Middle School Math

How can you help your child in math? Help your children practice their addition, subtraction, multiplication and division facts. Encourage your children not to give up while solving problems, so they can build their “math stamina” and develop their critical thinking skills. Don’t give them the answers - ask them to think of different ways they can solve problems. Have your children illustrate the math they were thinking in their head and discuss it with you out loud. Have your children apply their math knowledge to a real- world scenario at home, such as doubling a recipe or calculating the area of a room.
