If math makes you nervous, try not to pass on your feelings to your child. Share only what is helpful, not harmful.
Begin each math homework session by asking your child to explain what she's supposed to do. By her response, you'll know if she can do the assignment alone or if she needs help.
If you're not around when your child completes his homework, let him know that you'll look it over when you get home. Be sure to follow through. Tell him you're doing this to help him, not judge him.
Encourage your child to explain his problem-solving process so you can understand his reasoning.
When driving to school or the store, talk about how numbers help us determine how fast we drive, the distance traveled, the mileage the car gets per gallon of gas, and how long it will take to get home.
Expose your child to money in her early school years. Have her collect coins in a piggy bank and count them out regularly. If she receives an allowance, have her keep track of the amount or start a bank account.
