Solving Sample Problems Reinforces Concepts

Suppose your teen is about to start a math assignment. Before solving assigned problems, have your teen copy a sample problem from the textbook, or one that the teacher solved in class, onto a fresh sheet of paper, then close the book and put away the class notes.

Can your student solve the problem independently? Maybe not. And believe it or not, that’s not bad news. Because now your teen needs to work through the sample problem again. Your teen may need to check notes or reread the book. But your student will learn what steps to follow and why, and will be prepared to do the assignment.
