How to teach Math

[Daniel]

Present Math concepts in the context of everyday life, using real objects and situations to show the need for math and how it works. Have students memorize math facts by reading, writing, and repeating them regularly as soon as they are able. Each procedure (e.g., addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of whole numbers, fractions, and decimals) should be drilled until it is completely perfected before another skill is built upon. All math skills must be maintained by daily review (one problem of each type). Apply math skills in real-life situations or story problems. It is important to spend ample time and effort making sure your students can use their skills in practical ways.
