⇒      Know that the struggle is okay, that it takes  time to learn things. ⇒     Students need to take responsibility for their  own learning and their own struggle. ⇒      Resist the very common temptation to  explain the struggle as genetic. ⇒      Guide children to resources that can help  (their textbook, their notes). ⇒      Value math homework ­ encourage children  to do more than just ‘get it done’. ⇒      Expand the focus beyond the grade. ⇒      Praise the process.
