Want a quick & easy way to help your child with math? Stop saying, "I'm bad at math." Instead, try “Yeah, this is tricky for me too. I’m going to have to work hard to try and figure it out” or “I don’t know how to do this yet either. Let’s see if we can come up with some ideas together.”

We often feel the urge to jump in and help when our kids are solving a problem. Next time, pause before jumping in and try asking a question instead. You might discover your child understands more (or less) than you thought! #parentingtips #mathtips #edusky #math #mathhelp #teachingmath #parenting

Unpopular opinion: Stop telling your kids they're smart. It feels good to say, but research shows it can create pressure, reinforce fixed mindsets, and make kids avoid challenges. Instead, focus on effort and growth: 👉 Wow, you worked hard on that! 👉 What did you learn from that challenge?

Subitizing is your child's natural ability to instantly "see" how many objects are in a small group - without counting them one by one. This skill develops before counting and can help set the foundation for number sense & confidence with numbers. #parentingtips #edusky #math #parenting #mathhelp

Math isn't just about numbers & formulas – it's a powerful tool for developing crucial independent thinking skills necessary for life. We're here to support you as you help your child develop these essential thinking skills through math! #parenting #edusky #math #education #parentingtips #mathhelp

At Math Happiness Project, our love for math is bigger than any number we can count! We're on a mission to spread the joy of mathematics & show that every child can fall in love with numbers, patterns, & problem-solving!❤️ #edusky #mathforfamilies #parenting #education #mathematics #learnmath #love

Anyone else have some candy hearts (or chocolates) hanging around their house? Good news! You can use them to make a sweet little math game that builds your child’s number sense and helps develop their knowledge of addition and subtraction basic facts.

We ❤️ number lines! BUT we also know lots of times we're using them with kids without them actually understanding 🫣. Check out this activity to help your child build understanding of the number line:

Let’s dive into five math phrases to toss—and what to say instead! These outdated phrases are doing more harm than good! www.mathhappinessproject.com/post/5-thing... What would you add?! #edusky #math #parenting #parenttips #teaching #education #mathhelp

Counting is a foundational skill for mathematical success. Many people don’t realize that counting is more complex than simply reciting numbers. To become proficient at counting, children need to understand three essential counting principles--discussed in our blog below! #edusky #parenting

You may have heard of fluency for reading...but did you know fluency is a critical piece of strong math learning!? It is crucial to be fluent in basic facts to be successful with later math! Read our blog below to learn how to help your child build fluency. #parenting #parentingtips #edusky #math

We grew up learning math with an emphasis on two things: getting the right answer and doing it quickly. But when we became teachers, and now as moms, we’ve worked hard to shift that focus for our students and our own kids. Check out our blog post below for more information! #edusky #parenting

As two teacher moms with PhDs in Education, we’re here to share something surprising: research shows early math skills are actually a STRONGER predictor of academic success than early reading skills! 🤯 #edusky #parents #parenting #parentingtips #math #matheducation #earlyeducation #toddlers

Math literacy is more than numbers; it's empowerment. Just like reading and writing, math gives us the tools to shape our future and advocate for change. #Edusky #Education #Math #Children #Parenting #Teaching #Learning

Reveal time! Watch to see what is incorrect. It’s okay if this was a challenge. The truth is, many of us were taught multiplication in a way that only focused on memorizing facts and discussed little if anything about what it actually means to multiply! #edusky #education #parenting #math

Timed tests emphasize speed and memorization. This can contribute to math anxiety and hinder long-term math success. Our goal as educators and parents is to help children learn their basic math facts in a way that is rooted in real understanding, not just rote memorization. #math #parents

We were looking for pictures for a multiplication post and came across this one. We ALMOST used this picture because we loved all the colors but realized there was something wrong! This picture does not accurately represent multiplication. Can you identify why? #math #learning #teaching #parents
