[quote=Anonymous]Parcc math test is more about English and understanding English than it is about math. It's a frustrating test and needs to be practiced. I'm very surprised that my own DC did well on Parcc in elementary school. I took a practice test, available online for free, and missed 30%. English is not my first language, but I'm very good at math.
DC came to my rescue and fixed the 30% for me. He had learned to take the test somehow, and his English is much better than mine which helped. So, again, it's just as much about language if not more than it is about math. If your children speak a language other than English at home, they might not be as good at English as kids in other schools. It's a combination of language and math. I would show them test and practice it often to make them feel at ease when they have to take it.
My very first job, a grocery store clerk in SU, required the use of abacus. I don't remember how to use it nearly 30 years later, but I might look into it.
