I personally have also found it extremely difficult to understand math or teach it to somebody else like my friend or sibling. Most of the time it gets boring and the number on the page start to make you sleepy. This is a really good, or perhaps great idea you have here of making it interesting. The first thing coming to my mind right now is the material you should you. Like you have already said, you want to make math interesting this ‘holiday season’, so the first that I would like to suggest is that you buy study material that is inspired from the holidays. There is plenty of study material available in the market where you can have math questions centered around Santa or featuring the images of him. If you can’t find such material in the markets, then you can scout the internet. You will definitely find it there. Apart from that you can also go on youtube and look for videos that teach basic math through games. I think this is a pretty good way of making games fun this season.
No doubt, the general opinion is that math is the most scary subject and as a result of the taboo associated with it, most of the students start dreading math even without giving a try at it. However, the truth is that once you master the tricks, math can become the favorite subject of yours. In situations when kids fear even the mention of the subject math, it becomes really important to teach math to kids in a fun way. To make math interesting to teach in holiday season, what you can do is buy some fun activities that can help them in enhancing their analytical and calculative abilities. These days, a lot of material and books are available in market that can help you teach math in the most interesting way. Math is a subject that you can master without proper practice. What you can do is show such YouTube tutorials to kids that can provide them the information of the application of math. Once the kid has an idea of the practical application of the subject he or she will be more drawn towards it in a natural manner. You can also make him or her gain interest in math and speed up the mathematical calculations through abacus and other such tools. Try to discover games, that require mathematical calculations to reach up to the final point. This will draw the kid's interest towards the subject. In the end, practice is all that matters. Make sure that he or she is doing enough practice of the subject.
Of course, we all are aware that kids needs break in order to develop active body language and minds. However, at the time of the holiday, it is very common that children leave studying completely. Also, math is a subject that needs continuous practice in order to keep that subject intact in the mind of a kid. As a parent, teaching math practically will be the most efficient during the holiday season. While traveling make your kids a part of the calculations. Let them calculate the cost of the food in total. Give them some fun activities to keep them engaged in math. You can make your kid collect a survey of the family. How many members are their in the entire family tree? How many of them are married? How many of them have kids? How many of the children are there in the family? After they are done with the survey, ask them to make a report. So that it enhances their calculation power. Let your kid create a budget for your family vacation this time to engage them in math. Also, there are so many games online that includes learning process especially math. Finally when they get down to study with their books and notebooks at the end of the day, you will see visible improvement in them after such activities. I believe nothing can be more helpful than practical knowledge.
