May 1, 2021 | 9:00 AM

Everyone at some point has feared math. There is no denying it! From trying to figure out long division to learning algebra or geometry, it can be quite intimidating and frustrating when the solutions are just not there. Whether it is helping them with homework, or stepping in during virtual learning, as a parent it is equally as scary to try to remember the skills that you too struggled with as a student. Add to that the ever-changing methods of teaching math, and it can feel like you are the student all over again. With summer around the corner, it’s time to get rid of that fear and start preparing your kids for success. A great way to do that is by getting help at Mathnasium.

Learning Loss

Research has shown that the average student loses 2.6 months of learning after a summer away from school, and the first 4 to 6 weeks of the new school year is spent on review. They call this the “summer slide.” And to make it worse, due to the pandemic, approximately 70-percent of students have had some sort of learning loss from closures and switching between in person and online. Once kids fall behind, it’s often difficult to catch up on their own.
