40 Finally What can you do to support your daughter in maths? 1. Encourage your daughter whenever possible. Revision prior to every assessment is a vital part of developing skills for the final examination series 2. Make the most of technology available to us today; graphing tools, mymaths and mathswatch, check out the numeracy apps to boost confidence and speed up calculations 3. Homework is a vitally important part of developing skills independently, it provides consolidation and enrichment opportunities. So your continued support with a quiet place to work, preferably in a social media free-zone to aid concentration and encouragement when questions are tough is always appreciated
