Melissa Introne is a mother of elementary aged children. In her article, she explores the math homework challenge that her and her 4th grader experience on a nightly basis. Even with an advanced college degree, Melissa still struggles to assist her daughter with the 4th grade math content. Introne states that the rewording of familiar math concepts and the emphasis on inquiry learning lead to some of the confusion, but she also wonders if homework is even a productive measure for content mastery at this age.
