When you know something is wrong, you can do something about it.<\/p>\n<p>The ones that you miss, however, are going to have the biggest impact later.<\/p>\n<p>Because mathematics learning is cumulative (every new topic build upon what was learned in the previous topic), this can have a hidden and huge impact on your child\u2019s mathematics development.<\/p>\n<p>To avoid playing catch-up later, here are the signs you can look out for now.<\/p>\n<\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">@media only screen and (max-width:768px) {.fusion-title.fusion-title-1{margin-top:11px!important;margin-bottom:11px!important;}}<\/style><div class=\"fusion-title title fusion-title-1 fusion-sep-none fusion-title-text fusion-title-size-two\" style=\"margin-top:22px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:22px;margin-left:0px;\"><h2 class=\"title-heading-left fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" style=\"margin:0;--fontSize:24;line-height:1.95;\">Difficulty connecting mathematics fact families<\/h2><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-2\"><p>Here\u2019s a quick refresher on mathematics fact families \u2014 it\u2019s the relationship between two numbers and their sum after addition, subtraction, multiplication or division.<\/p>\n<p>For example:<\/p>\n<p>The mathematics fact family of 3, 6 and 9 can look like this:<\/p>\n<p>3 + 6 = 9<\/p>\n<p>6 + 3 = 9<\/p>\n<p>9 &#8211; 6 = 3<\/p>\n<p>9 &#8211; 3 = 6<\/p>\n<p>As your children develop, this gets more complex, but the learning outcome remains the same: understanding the different ways numbers work together.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re noticing that there\u2019s a struggle to connect 3 + 6 and 6 + 3 being the same, or maybe later in their schooling life struggling with seeing the connection between:<\/p>\n<p>12 x 2 + 2 = 26<\/p>\n<p>20 + 6 = 26<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s a chance your child might not have a deep understanding of mathematics.<\/p>\n<\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">@media only screen and (max-width:768px) {.fusion-title.fusion-title-2{margin-top:11px!important;margin-bottom:11px!important;}}<\/style><div class=\"fusion-title title fusion-title-2 fusion-sep-none fusion-title-text fusion-title-size-two\" style=\"margin-top:22px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:22px;margin-left:0px;\"><h2 class=\"title-heading-left fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" style=\"margin:0;--fontSize:24;line-height:1.95;\">Poor time management<\/h2><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-3\"><p>This can be a hard one to pick. Kids can be disorganised, get distracted by their phones, have forgotten things, or just not care about whatever it was they were supposed to have done by a certain time.<\/p>\n<p>But a real lack of understanding of how to manage time is a sign there\u2019s a mathematics problem.<\/p>\n<p>Time is (usually) measured in increments, like \u201cwe\u2019ve got 5 minutes before we have to leave!\u201d or \u201cyou should finish this by 6 o\u2019clock\u201d. Being able to comprehend these increments and map them to meaning is actually a key mathematics skill.<\/p>\n<p>For example, if your child has an hour to finish their homework, they should be able to think or reason like so:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have an hour, so that\u2019s 60 minutes. It takes 45 minutes to complete the work and 10 minutes to read over it. If everything goes right, I&#8217;ll be able to get this finished.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>If \u2018chronically late\u2019 seems to describe your child, then keep an eye on their ability to tell the time from a clock (analogue or digital). If that\u2019s giving them momentary pause, it can be a sign they\u2019re struggling to think mathematically.<\/p>\n<\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">@media only screen and (max-width:768px) {.fusion-title.fusion-title-3{margin-top:11px!important;margin-bottom:11px!important;}}<\/style><div class=\"fusion-title title fusion-title-3 fusion-sep-none fusion-title-text fusion-title-size-two\" style=\"margin-top:22px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:22px;margin-left:0px;\"><h2 class=\"title-heading-left fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" style=\"margin:0;--fontSize:24;line-height:1.95;\">Struggling to tie mathematics to the real world<\/h2><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-4\"><p>You\u2019re on a family walk and you see two ducks in a pond.

However, when it comes to later life and making those important, necessary and daily calculations, it can have a dramatic impact on quality of life.<\/p>\n<\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">@media only screen and (max-width:768px) {.fusion-title.fusion-title-4{margin-top:11px!important;margin-bottom:11px!important;}}<\/style><div class=\"fusion-title title fusion-title-4 fusion-sep-none fusion-title-text fusion-title-size-two\" style=\"margin-top:22px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:22px;margin-left:0px;\"><h2 class=\"title-heading-left fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" style=\"margin:0;--fontSize:24;line-height:1.95;\">Actively avoiding mathematics<\/h2><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-5\"><p>You\u2019d think this wouldn\u2019t be something you can miss \u2014 but outside of homework and the occasional grumble that their mathematics lessons are going \u2018fine\u2019, you might be missing the small things, like:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>avoiding giving exact change<\/li>\n<li>reluctance to try using reasoning<\/li>\n<li>giving vague answers when asked something around numbers, time or length\/height\/size.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>While it could be a case of the \u2018couldn\u2019t-be-bothereds\u2019, it might be they\u2019re hesitant to use the mental energy to make the calculations or feel fear or embarrassment in their lack of skill.<\/p>\n<\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">@media only screen and (max-width:768px) {.fusion-title.fusion-title-5{margin-top:11px!important;margin-bottom:11px!important;}}<\/style><div class=\"fusion-title title fusion-title-5 fusion-sep-none fusion-title-text fusion-title-size-two\" style=\"margin-top:22px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:22px;margin-left:0px;\"><h2 class=\"title-heading-left fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" style=\"margin:0;--fontSize:24;line-height:1.95;\">How you can help your child<\/h2><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-6\"><p>There are three simple things you can do to start with:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Show support<\/strong> \u2014 Avoid bad-mouthing mathematics, encourage them to try and praise the effort they put into trying.
