Practice makes perfect
"Maths is a subject that cannot be studied. It must be practised on a daily basis," says Liezl Jansen van Vuuren, a Cape Town ELSEN (education for learners with special education needs) teacher. If your child doesn't have any Maths homework, encourage him/her to practise her tables. Other good ways to practise the skills needed to succeed at Maths, include working through old tests, exam papers and textbook exercises.
Most book shops also stock study guides such as Train Your Brain (Maskew Miller, from R25), a series that covers most of the learning areas.
