As a parent, you want to support your child through their education. You want to provide that shoulder to lean on and that extra pair of hands for homework tasks.
But for so many parents, there comes a tipping point when their child’s homework becomes too hard to handle… especially with maths! So, what can you do when this issue arises?
Here are three tips that do not involve pulling out a textbook for some late-night study.
For many students, the time investment required to find suitable online resources is a large enough barrier to prevent them from benefitting. This is where you come in.

Help find online resources
Although quadratics isn’t your forte, online research seems to be (evidenced by the fact that you found this article).
Luckily for you (and your child), we live in an age where an incredible array of resources to assist your child with their learning can be easily accessed online. For many students, the time investment required to find suitable online resources is a large enough barrier to prevent them from benefitting. This is where you come in.
If you are able to distil this search to resources specific to a particular skill or question type, you will be able to source fantastic materials to support their learning. You will be amazed by the results that a search of “quadratic equations using the split method” can yield.
Another tip: for each topic or concept, search for various resources of different types that can be used to support your child’s learning in different ways. For example, first seek out a written explanation, followed by a YouTube video and a practice worksheet.
Contextualise the learning
Bodies of academic research have found that when a student understands why they are learning new information, they see a noticeable uplift in motivation and knowledge retention.
As a parent who understands the broader benefits of education and the potential applications of new knowledge, it can be your role to communicate this why. There are two different approaches we recommend to help achieve this contextualisation:
1. Explain the opportunities that certain knowledge can unlock
Explain to your child the profound influence that the knowledge of a particular subject can have in their lives, whether they want to be an astronaut (do that maths homework!), a sports commentator (pay attention in English class!) or find the cure for cancer (listen to the chemistry teacher!).
2. Find applications of the specific knowledge being learnt (this may involve independent research)
Almost everything that your child learns at school has a real-world context, even if at first it is hard to determine (looking at you, algebra!). Once your child can relate their subject-matter to a real-world situation, the perceived benefits of learning become more tangible, and increases in motivation will naturally follow.
Break down misunderstanding into modular blocks
There are very few things that are more counterproductive for students’ knowledge development than becoming overwhelmed by the amount of information they are required to learn.
If you start to sense that your child is feeling overrun by their misunderstanding, and is disconnecting from their homework as a result, this is an important moment during which to intervene as a parent.
Why? Because your external perspective can help you break down what might appear to be an overwhelming task into smaller, more manageable, content blocks. Do not let your child conclude that they “can’t do calculus”; instead, explain to them that they are simply missing a discrete set of skills.
These missing skills can then be addressed one-by-one inform an ordered learning program to build capability in an optimal fashion.
If your child is struggling with their maths homework, this may be a result of gaps in their foundational knowledge.
Consider exploring the Tutero Maths learning platform to see if our intelligent diagnostic-based learning programs can help them find and fill their knowledge gaps in maths.
