How to Raise a Math Whiz
As part of a Washington Post series called "Raising a Math Whiz," Mari-Jane Williams offers parents suggestions for how to inspire their kids to love math.

-
Never say you weren’t good at math (even if you weren’t).
-
Celebrate a mathematician.
-
Teach them that struggling is okay.
-
Adopt a more math-centric vocabulary.
-
Weave math into everyday activities.
-
Let them be the experts.
