It adds up: ‘Maths for mum and dad’ courses to ease homework burden

If you’d love to help your secondary school children with their maths homework but you’re not too confident about your own ability, help may be at hand.

Waterford Institute of Technology (WIT) has set up a ‘Maths for Mum and Dad’ online training course.

The web-based course has been developed by the Computer Science and Maths department so that registered parents can use video tutorials, online assessments and quick information leaflets to learn everything from arithmetic to trigonometry.
