Find a Math Tutor With Proven Approaches for Maximum Effectiveness

Each RITES math tutor uses proven educational approaches that have helped thousands of Rhode Island students to excel in math.

But tutoring can only go so far. Parents can help their child overcome math learning difficulties with simple, daily activities at home.

RITES-recommended math tools for younger children

  • Encourage the child to use mental math to solve everyday problems, like estimating at the grocery store. You can make it feel like a game.
  • Help children to feel safe making mistakes. Never punish or shame them for missing a problem. Try to find the spot where the thinking process fell apart. And don’t rush them! Listen to their thoughts.
  • Don’t tell children what to do to solve the problem. Teach them to use their own resources. Be a collaborator, not an expert. Find a quiet place during a calm time, and again, be patient.
  • Make math fun and exciting by incorporating math-based games into everyday life. For example:
    • Give children lists at the grocery store and ask them to estimate the cost. Then give them money to cash out at the register.
    • Play simple dice games at the dinner table.
    • Play around using non-standard forms of measurement.
    • Pretend to be a “bank” for your child with pretend checking, withdrawals, and “overdraft penalties.”
    • Play board games and card games requiring thinking strategies.
