Parents have the responsibility of nurturing and taking care of their children. Most parents realize that instilling a love of reading in their children is beneficial to their children's future. So everyone takes the time to read a story to their children to help instill this love of reading. What have we done lately to instill a love of mathematics in our children's life? Many parents don't like math or feel confident enough in their math skills to instill this love into their children. But like reading, mathematics is one of the school subjects taught that is absolutely necessary for functioning in society effectively. However, mathematics is one of the school subjects in the public school education system that is beginning to decline. This means that the children in these systems can't do basic mathematics by the time they graduate from high school. This means that it becomes our job, as parents, to motivate our children to love mathematics.Download Exam Drill of Math for Languages Program
