My son attends a very nice Christian school. I have one problem, though. When he was first admitted we were told that they followed the same guide as the public schools, at least for the basic subjects, including math.
I am concerned that my son’s teacher is lagging in teaching math. I saw some paperwork from friends of his who attend public school and they seem to adhead of what she is teaching. Plus, she teaches it very basically. I work with him at home to learn more advanced procedures but I would just like to see if anyone can give the input as to what their fourth grader is currently learning in math. Thanks.

Math Help


Of all subjects taught in grade school, math seems to be one of the ones responsible for the most worries among students. Often this isn’t so much concerned with their ability to understand the problems, but rather than a lack of belief they can actually achieve a good grade in this subject. They are so concerned about not being able to understand that they block their own ability, and getting over this math anxiety can be all that’s needed for them to improve their grades.

Often this nervousness about math comes from a bad experience quite early on their education. This may have been a failure on a relatively simple test, an inability to understand a basic math principle or a bad grade. That one incident will have been enough to destroy their self-belief that they are smart enough to study math and get a decent grade. As with most things, self-belief is one of the hardest things to build up, one of the easiest things to destroy, and yet it has an ability to control the outcome of our efforts. They don’t believe they can do math and so they can’t.

The good news about these math worries is that it can take a very simple success experience in the subject in order to restore confidence in the subject. Math is about understanding certain analysis techniques and once these are mastered they are easy to implement. Unlike many courses that have subjective answers to tests and assignments, math is one of the school subjects where answers are likely to be right or wrong – no middle ground. Get the right answer and show how you got there, and you’re likely to get a high grade.

For the first few classes work on building confidence in your subject area. Keep instructions simple and make sure all of the students understand the principles you are teaching. Even if it feels that you are going too slowly for the age group, you can always make this time up later in the year, for now the important thing is to instill each of your students with that self belief that they are able to succeed in math, it will allow them to pursue the rest of the year with confidence.

Giving your students plenty of practice with the simpler exercises of each math principle before moving onto to more complex ones will also allow them to experience the success of getting the right answer and so they’ll be more confident to go onto the more difficult ones.

Taking time with those who find the principles more difficult in the opening weeks of your class will pay off in the long run as you’ll see a higher percentage of students who are getting high grades in your subject. They’ll also take less time in additional coaching/questions later in the year if you do the preparatory work of self-confidence in math building now.

why students can’t do math well

Frank Ho

BC certified math teacher

Founder of Ho Math and Chess Learning Centre, Vancouver, BC, Canada

I was curious to find out why a child who is already grade 5 but could not do basic multiplication well despite how I explained to him in concepts. I was equally at a loss to try to find out why a grade 10 student who could only “see” how a problem can be done after I explained three times or write the solutions step by step and also allowed him to stop me at every step whenever it was necessary. In this case, I know the grade-10 student never 100% understood the math instruction in his day school because he could not stop his teacher’s instructions just for him on every computation step. For example, When factoring (x square – y square), the student just could not see how this problem can be done when the problem changes to (x + 1)square – (y+1)square.

After I did my own observations and thinking, I found out these problems have lots to do their math training while they were young other than their ability deficiency in basic math. They lack of training in the following areas:

1. Pattern: They have some difficulty in seeing patterns.

2. Visualization: They have difficulty to see the relationship between columns or rows or table to table or from numbers to graphics and vice versa.

3. Abstract: They seem to have difficulty to grasp abstract idea. Any problem requires students to do a conversion using abstract idea then they seem to run into problems.

To take care of these above-mentioned problems, Ho Math and Chess has created a series of workbooks to train children in the areas of patterns, symbols, and relationship using visualization.

The way we do it is to use our patent applied Geometry Chess Symbols and have created a series of one-of-its-kind workbooks such as iq puzzles, Frankho chess mazes, iq mathematical chess puzzles, word problems, and math contests to strongly increase their brainpower in number intelligence.

More information how to improve children’s math ability can be found at www.mathandchess.com.
