We believe that it is essential not just to work hard, but to work smart. The time allocated to homework should be spent on activity that is helpful and constructive and MathSteps.com provides your child with the proper tools.

Subscribers to MathSteps.com are reminded weekly by e-mail that new problems have been assigned. Whether you prefer your child to do all five problems in the appropriate level at once or one each weekday will be your decision. We would like to make certain, however, that you remind your child to do the work on a regular basis.

Your child will likely want to use a calculator. While one obvious objective of our program is to help children develop the ability to think logically and analytically, why not ask them to practice the math skills they have already acquired? A blank sheet of paper and a pencil should do just fine.

We have intentionally allowed access to all levels, to enable each child to identify a comfortable entry level and then through continuous practice and by providing a step-by-step solution to each problem, gain the confidence necessary to attempt a more complex task.

Math can be a lot of fun and can provide a child with a sense of accomplishment and a feeling of self-confidence. We hope your child will benefit from our weekly tutorial and we look forward to your feedback and comments.
