HI MY SON IS JUST PASSED STD 7, JUST I WANT TO KNOW IN MATHS CONCEPTS ARE NOT CLEAR, SO HE IS NOT GETTING THE GOOD MARKS, HOW TO DEVLOPE HIS CONCEPT TO CLEAR IN MATHS, EVEN HE IS DOING EVERY SUMS THRE OF FOUR TIME, BUT WE ARE VERY WORRY TO HIS RESPONECE AND VERY DISAPOINTED, PLS SUGGEST...

Ans: Hello,
As you said he is not showing interest, hence unable to understand the basics.
Teacher has to make the subject interesting for him with good examples, quizzes, etc.
There is an online course EGANEET, search for it & take a basic subscription first, they make the subject lucid to understand.

See if it helps.

All the best.

Ans: How old is he?
Set up clear and concise goals to reach the desired outcome. Check if his basic foundational knowledge is clear.

Ans: I think important is to understand the concepts then rote learning.
Make him understand the concepts by giving him the concept based learning, paired with activities and objective tests from each lesson before you start giving him more Lessons to learn. Divide the task into shorter achievable goals to develop the intrest.

Ans: Hi Abhijeet

This is a very usual case. Whenever a child shifts from one method to another, it takes some time to upgrade himself to the new pattern. MCQ test pattern and Written test pattern are different. Both patterns require different skills.

In short, your son is struggling to adapt to the new format of written exams in 8th grade. This shift from MCQs to written exams requires different study techniques, such as active recall, effective note-taking, and practice writing.

To help him improve, you can:
1) Encourage him to use active recall techniques like flashcards and quizzes.
2) Teach him effective note-taking methods like the Cornell method or mind mapping.
3) Help him practice writing essays and join a writing group if possible.
4) Assist him in creating a study schedule and breaking down assignments into smaller tasks.

At last, keep patient, every child is different. Give him some time to adjust to the new pattern. Your motion and support are much needed at this stage and that too without showing any panic on your face.
