With the Common Core Math standards, there are many new methods of solving problems, and students are learning those new ways daily in class. Students take home their math homework, and parents are clueless about how to help their students complete it. How do you educate parents on the new ways of doing math and discourage them from only teaching their children the algorithms or formulas for solving problems? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I feel like that's your job. Its their job to teach them the basics, but parents are not in school. You need to teach the student the new ways.
