Despite having the ability, 75 percent will still use a calculator to double-check their figures. On average, they will use mental math five times per day. Three-quarters of American parents say they can do basic math in their heads. However, when asked to solve 9-3/(⅓)+1, only 17 percent used the proper method to solve the equation, with the answer being one. When asked to solve 8/2(2+2), two-thirds of parents got the correct answer, which is 16. Barely half (51%) of the poll recall the proper order of math operations (PEMDAS) - or Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division (from left to right), Addition and Subtraction (from left to right). Putting those skills to the test, 42 percent of respondents were able to solve the OnePoll study’s equations correctly. Although 79 percent of parents can recall the things they learned in school, nearly as many (70%) say it’s harder for them to solve their kid’s math homework today. Two-thirds of parents will even turn to Google to figure out how to help their child finish their assignment.Ī survey of 2,000 American parents with school-aged children asked how sharp their math skills were and how they approach their kid’s homework. More than half (56%) of parents in a new survey say they feel hopeless when trying to help their children with homework. You can apparently add math to that list as well.
