Other times they have to go out to the garage and cut another piece of wood for that project. I would recommend that you be honest with your daughter. Tell her that you were never especially successful at mathematics when you were in school. But then tell her that it is important and that you and she are going to learn it together. You need to know what the words mean.
Words matter a lot in mathematics.
Another thing that is very important is sequence. Mathematics and language are similar in one way that makes them very different from other subjects like history. In history, order is not important. There is nothing inherent in the subject that makes it necessary to study Ancient Egypt before studying the Second World War. In language, you need to know the alphabet before you can read.
