The Importance of Math at Home
We use math all the time in our daily lives. Often, it is difficult for children to understand the importance of math or the relevance of it to their own lives. When we can help children make this connection, they are more inclined to see the importance of mathematics instruction and it will help them make abstract ideas more concrete. There has been a lot of recent research suggesting that success in math in early grades is equally as important as literacy as an indicator of future academic success.
