Mathematics is an important subject in Ontario's education system. While some students find joy in its clear answers and the satisfaction of solving puzzles, others experience anxiety, especially with basic arithmetic. For these students, a lack of a strong foundation can turn math into a challenging subject. As a parent, observing your child struggle with math homework or develop a dislike for the subject can be worrisome. Math contributes to the development of every facet of the brain. Math engages various regions of our brain - from the frontal and parietal to the occipital and temporal lobes, encompassing both the left and right hemispheres.
