Math is an enigma to many of us. It's not uncommon for students to grasp in-class instruction without a problem, but then get home and draw a blank when faced with the stark reality of numbers on paper. There are also plenty of parents that want to help their kids with their assignments and have the chops to do so – but couldn't remember these lessons from their school days if their lives depended on it.
