Teaching Your Kids New Math, Grades 6-8, For Dummies teaches you the new standard way of teaching kids math. It’s all about thinking through how to solve problems and using strategies, rather than just memorizing the procedures. In this book, parents, guardians, and tutors will learn how to use these methods and standards to effectively teach kids Common Core math for grades 6-8. Teaching Your Kids New Math, Grades 6-8, For Dummies shows you how schools are teaching kids math these days, and gives you tools to support kids through the homework and test prep process.

Different people like different things. Some of us like to travel. Some like walks in the woods. And some people like pina coladas and getting caught in rain. But math? People can get emotional about math — they often either love it or hate it. I’ve noticed that people who find that math is not their cup of tea never really mastered the basics. That’s what this book is all about. If you fall into the category of people who dislike “old math,” you may not be excited that there is now “new math.”

Relax. New math is just a result of finding better ways to solve problems. You’re still going to use good ol’ addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, but you’ll do it with new math. You’re just going to show your kids better ways to do it, and this book will show you how. This book provides step-by-step instructions for how to use both old and new math to solve problems that sixth- through eighth-graders must know. It also provides instructions, examples, and practice problems, and often suggests what you should say as you teach your child.

You’ll love this book’s clear explanations and examples organized by grade level. With Teaching Your Kids New Math, Grades 6-8, For Dummies you’ll also get access to online tools, including dozens of math worksheets for additional support.
