Cumulative Review and Math Achievement

Many parents often lament that their children are doing badly or failing their Mathematics despite the fact that they are attending tuition classes.

Could it be that your child’s method of revising Mathematics is not leading to improvement? What does revision in Mathematics mean? Doing more and more assessment books or practice papers? Does your child’s weekly Math learning involve a unit review, going over the topics, ideas and concepts covered in the current unit? Does your child’s preparation for examinations entail an extensive review of the whole semester or the whole year of work over a short 2 weeks?

If your answer is yes to any of the above, then I will suggest this strategy known as cumulative review.

The cumulative review that I am going to suggest is what I view as a learning tool that the parent and child can work on together at home. Yes, you can be involved even without knowing how to solve the mathematics problems yourself.
