Parents – what you can do
• Find time every day to talk to your children
• Take an interest in your child’s school life – interesting anecdotes? Friendships? CCAs?
• Help your child think through problems she may be facing in school and help her build her resilience/self-discipline/school values (I4Cs)
• Let your child take ownership of her own learning by getting her to share with you what she has learnt, troubles she has faced and how she has overcome them

STEPS FOR PROBLEM-SOLVING: POLYA’S MODELStep1: Understanding the Problem.
• What are the key words? • How would you describe the problem in your own words?
Step 2: Plan• Select the strategy to solve the problem. More than one strategy may be adopted.• Try common heuristics
(Model drawing, systematic listing, find a pattern, draw a diagram)
Step 3: Solve• Use computational skills – add, subtract, multiply, divide• Use mathematical tools – ruler, metre ruler• Use thinking skills – classifying, comparing, sequencing, identifying pattern
Step 4: Check• Read your question again to make sure you have answered the question.• Check the working step by step.
• Start with your answer and work backwards and check if the results satisfy the given conditions
• STAR (Standard unit, Transfer error, Accuracy, Reasonableness)
![Page 43: Haig Girls’ School Partners/Parents... · Q & A –addressing queries raised ... Knowledge Forum. How HGS is Supporting Your Child’s Learning Subject banding for Math & CL](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062507/5fc6efd93a499324f438997e/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
How can parents be involved…• Work and communicate closely with your child’s Maths Teacher.
• Monitor/Follow up on homework – ask questions that
guide without telling them what to do when your child encounters difficulties with homework
• Master basic computational skills and learn well the Multiplication Tables
• Revise and practise the common heuristics taught
• Train your child to show proper and detailed working steps
• Train your child to check for accuracy
• Use mathematical language eg. add, total, difference
• Relate Math concepts to daily life examples. Eg, Is the table longer or shorter than one metre?
• Play mathematical games / puzzles.
