Parents’ perspective of learning Math is complex but interesting when you analyse it. Parents are always referring to their own experiences of learning Math. I found 3 main points that any parent could relate to learning Maths. I invite those parents to comment on this opinion. 1. Real World skill: Everyone wants to know if Math is practical in their daily lives. Parents want their children to be able to manage money, budget and at least tell the time. Is Math abstract to them? 2. Math Anxiety: Parents pass on their anxiety and knowledge of Math to their children when parents are unable to keep up with the changes in Maths syllabus and new methods of learning. The school teach Math differently now and more worded than how Math used to be only numbers and formulas. The anxiety is contagious and most harmful statement at home, “I wasn’t good at Math” or I was never a Math person either”. These impressions give the children the wrong narrative. 3. Problem Solving: Parents are used to using formulas to solve the number based Math questions. Whereas now the system expects children to solve real life problems using Math skills. No longer memorising times table or trigonometry are the main questions. Now Math uses the knowledge and skills to solve real life problems. Parents must understand the changes to learning Math differently now and engage with the educators to emphasise on Math Oracy. Learning the terms and vocabulary of the question to understand how it works. Perhaps, the child needs to have independent learning outside school time. Perhaps the anxiety can be overcome by learning differently from how parents were taught those many years ago.
