Sylvan Learning Center of Lawton provides "Fit 4 Algebra", a free online tool with resources to help parents understand whether their children are on track to fearlessly enter Algebra.

A recent survey by Kelton Research, conducted for Sylvan Learning, finds that most eighth and ninth graders consider algebra to be their toughest, scariest subject.  Their parents share the same algebra anxiety.  A staggering 97 percent of parents feel more prepared to talk with their children about drug and alcohol use than help them tackle their algebra homework.  Those facts are scary.

The new survey underscores how ill-equiped most adults feel to help their children with algebra, which is often introduced in middle school.  The survey finds that one third of middle-school students say they are willing to give up video gaming and Facebook for a month if it means they would never have to solve another polynomial equation.  Parents feel just as lost.  More than seven in ten parents polled feel that helping their kids with algebra himework is harder than teaching them to drive a car.

The nationwide survey of eighth and ninth-grade students and their parents was conducted between August 1 and August 8, 2011 by Kelton Research, commissioned by Sylvan Learning, the nation's leading provider of tutoring and supplemental education services to students of all ages and skill levels.

We all know that algebra is crucial to every student's success, especially in today's technology-development jobs.  Mastering algecraic concepts inherently leads to success in high school mathematics and eventual success in college and career.  The future of our children depends on the mastery of these essential skills.

The question most parents ask: How can I help make algebra less scary for my child?

Every child learns algebra differently and these skills build over time.  One of the most important considerations for student successin algebra is their readiness.  In this process the first step is to identify the student's algebra profenciency and understand if any skills require improvement.  Identifying student misconceptions, challenges, and sturggles early can help parents and teachers better understand the kind of support the student needs to succeed.

Parents who are concerned-or curious-about how prepared their child may be for algebra can take matters into their own hands by screening their child's readiness through Sylvan's Fit 4 Algebra website.  "Fit 4 Algebra: Take the Algebra Fitness Challenge," is a free interactive online screener that parents can use to check their children's algebra readiness.  The 21 question check-up is built on the key skills identified by the National Mathematics Advisory Panel as providing the basic foundation for algebra.

After their child completes the screener, parents are able to review their child's results which highlight areas of strength as well as areas that are in need of further skill development.  Additionally, parents can then have immediate free access to valuable resources, including interactive tutorials to help with homework, online math challenges and entertaining educational games.
