Expose your child to real-world math

You don't have to be a math whiz to build your elementary schooler's math skills. Just involve your child in the kinds of math you can do easily at home. Have your student help when you need to measure something. Have your child estimate the distance and time to get somewhere, then check to see if the estimate was correct. Suggest that your student make graphs of the colors of cars in a parking lot. Then, do it again on another day and compare.
