• encourage your child to take math and science courses in secondary school to keep opportunities and options open
• ask your child to teach you how to use math software that they use at school and is licensed for students to use at home
• show your child how math is important in everyday life, such as using a spreadsheet to determine an affordable cell phone plan or calculating the price of a take-out dinner for the family using coupons or discounts
• review the latest sports stats
• ask your child’s math teacher about the possibilities of enrichment or additional challenging math opportunities, if you believe it would benefit your child
• look into area mathematics events, such as games and Olympiads, that your child may be interested in
• encourage your child to believe that success results from effort, determination and learning from mistakes
