Have you as a parent wonder why your child is so hard to master math? It may be that you have brought in a private teacher or enrolled the child in a famous mathematics course. But why the results still not in line with expectations?

This may be due to improper teaching methods, which are inconsistent with the child's learning type. As is known, there are generally three types of learning that we must understand, namely the type of visual, auditory, and kinestetik.

It could be that your child actually has enough intelligence to be superior in the field of mathematics. It's just because the teaching methods he has been getting do not match the type of learning he has, then he has difficulty in understanding the lessons given. As a result he became reluctant to learn and assumed that mathematics was a difficult lesson.

Here are some things you can do to improve how to teach math to better suit the type of learning your child has.

### **For The Type of Visual Learners**

- Familiarize the child to always write an explanation of the lessons given. Writing and reading is the preferred activity of the visual child.

- Use flashcards to help learn. For example, you can create a series of cards of mathematical formulas that the child should learn.

- Teach your child to use different colors while taking notes or working on a problem. Children visually love the colors, so the process of writing and reading into a more enjoyable activity.

- Use a visual analogy when describing a mathematical concept, for example when describing fractions, draw pieces that are cut into pieces so that the child is easier to serve them.

- Use images, graphics, or diagrams to complete the given explanation

- Use a computer program or a smartphone application about math that has an interesting visualization.

- Make sure your child neatly compile his lesson notes. The neatly arranged notes made with attractive colors will make the child visually happy to read them again.


### **For type of auditory learner**

- While accompanying your child to study, explain the subject matter verbally

- To practice numeracy skills, provide questions and answers verbally.

- When practicing the problem, give the child the opportunity to read the matter, then explain the steps of completion verbally.

- Use an interesting analogy in story form while describing important mathematical concepts.

- Use a rhythm or song, for example when memorizing the multiplication

- Ask your child to re-read the lesson by speaking it verbally, not just read in the heart.

- Try to record your speech while giving an explanation of a mathematical problem. Your child can listen to the explanations given as he / she learns later.

### **For Kinesthetic Learner Types**

- Talk to your child's teacher so that at school she can get a seat in front. By sitting in front, then he will be more focused in learning and will minimize interference.

- Use hand gestures when counting, for example by counting with your fingers.

- While studying at home, give exercise questions of physical activity, for example by arranging, folding, or moving objects.

- Only when the child does not seem to be quiet while learning. For example, when reading her hands tapping pencil on the table. Movements that are often done without the conscious will help the child in concentrating.

- If necessary, the child can be given aids in counting, for example by using an abacus.

- Give him the task to provide explanations with the help of diagrams or drawings and explain them. Drawing activities can fulfill his subconscious desire to always move.

Those are some examples of how to teach mathematics tailored to the type of learning that the child has. Surely you as a parent more familiar with the nature and what is your child's favorite. Make your child's math lessons fun lessons by providing a lesson method that matches the child's unique character so that the result becomes more optimal.
