How to Help Your Little Learner.
Create a Calm Environment
Make maths practice a stress-free time by setting up a quiet, comfortable space. Avoid putting pressure on your child to get everything right immediately.
Use Positive Reinforcement
Celebrate progress, no matter how small. Junior Maths Practice books include reward certificates to keep your Little Learners motivated and excited about their achievements.
Break It Down
Simplify maths concepts into smaller, more manageable steps. For example, Junior Maths Practice focuses on specific skills like adding 1, helping Little Learners master one concept at a time.
Make It Fun
Incorporate games, colourful visuals, and hands-on activities to make maths enjoyable. Themed colouring pages in Junior Maths Practice books turn learning into a fun and rewarding experience.
Be Patient
Building confidence takes time. Encourage your Little Learner to keep trying, and remind them that mistakes are part of the learning process.
