April is Math Awareness Month

by Frank Bonetti

April is Math Awareness Month and a good time to evaluate your child’s math skills. In the upper grades, math can become frustrating to students and homework often becomes a source of anxiety. Many find that math is the most difficult to master of all the subjects. Parents can ease this frustration by providing help and positive feedback to their children during homework time.
