  10. SGUSD My Math Homework Tips • Be the “ the Guide from the Side” and not “the Sage on the Stage.” • Let your child “show, share and express” the process learned in class to you. It may differ from your time as a student. • Do not feel that you need to re-teach your child. • Homework is an opportunity to practice skills introduced or reviewed in class each day. • Is your child stuck? Encourage him/her to show you where help can be found on-line. Let your child be the problem solver. • These resources will be shared at the end of our presentation.
