Tips for parents of Class 4 children
- Check that tables up to 10 are truly automatic before the year gets going. Slow tables make long multiplication and long division painful.
- Show fractions with real food: fold a roti into quarters, cut a chikki into eighths. A fraction is a picture before it is a rule.
- Teach estimation first. Rounding 4,872 + 3,129 to about 5,000 + 3,000 tells your child roughly what the answer must be.
- Keep a weekly twenty-minute family maths slot with a worksheet and one game. Regularity matters more than length.
