This morning, I am having a little debate with my little niece. She does not want to review her math lessons. My main goal is to let her know the importance of it. She is whining and at last, I was able to convince her.
Do you think math is good for children?

Math is important in everyday life - shopping, bills, recipes, foreign currency when we travel etc. It also saves us from some embarrassing situations. If we are able to calculate how much our grocecies cost we know if we have enough money, and we don't have to stand in the checkout line with an empty wallet

@Shavkat Yes, basic maths skills are important. When I was a child we didn't have cell phones with calculators. Now we have many useful apps, but I am still happy that I learned maths.

@Porcospino I agree. I think I am in the same era. We had learned it in a hard way.
It is really important to know these math principles in life.

@Shavkat maths should not be bi hearted but try to teach her thru games. She should understand the concept.

you need math to life. Try and make it fun I hated learning math until I found math games then it was easy to learn plus if it is fun it will create a reward mechanism saying that learning math is good/fun

Of course it is important, my little brother doen't like studying at all, he's 6y.o and spends most of his time on TV, I try to study with him but he's whining all the time, i need some motivational strategies to make him love doing his homework.
