Winning the Math Homework Challenge: Insights for Parents to See Math Differently
Autor Catheryne Draperen Limba Engleză Hardback – 21 dec 2016
This book focuses more on the "why" behind math relationships, explained in plain English and through images that show mathematical relationships. The ability to recognize connections among math topics significantly reduces the confusion and frustration that can accompany math homework. By including more images and fewer formulas, readers - especially the visual-spatial learners - are better equipped to understand how math concepts connect to each other. Finding and understanding these connections will allow parents to find their own "math mojo" and to pass on that legacy to their child.

Mathematics is so much about relationships and seeing how objects and numbers fit together. This book affirms the value of visualization as a valid way of looking at mathematics.
Mathematics Educator Catheryne Draper's Winning the Math Challenge is a gift to math students and their parents. Draper, a talented and wise math teacher, shares wisdom gained in decades of teaching. She reveals different ways of 'seeing' math, and she shows how learning styles and preferences influence students' ability to understand. Her goal is to help parents help their children to become math aficionados instead of math avoiders. She makes this goal achievable by dispelling the only-one-right-answer-or-method myth, honoring the place of imagination in math thinking, and dropping the shame shackles often attached to those having trouble with math. This book shows an exciting, even liberating view of how to learn and enjoy math. Don't miss this chance to become your child's math mentor and to have a deepened understanding of math yourself.
Winning the Math Challenge explores and explains how we all approach learning differently. Mathematics has a rich set of rules and conventions to convey meaning and allow solution to problems. However, to a young student it is also a new language, with new concepts, new 'grammar' and new 'spelling.' Catheryne Draper does a wonderful job of showing how we can employ different ways to explain the meaning of those 'basic' concepts we are asked to learn in our early years. Just because we learned through one method in our school years, doesn't mean that our children should or best learn the same way. We can benefit our children by going back to school, to learn about learning. Winning the Math Challenge is an excellent place to start.
