Ask HN: How to get your child interested in math?

gitowiec — Tue, 09 Jun 2026 10:25:05 +0000

Hi I wanted to ask you, especially dads or dads-to-be, how to get your child interested in math? My child is 10 years old and complains that he doesn't like math. He's currently finishing third grade. In math classes, they're currently covering addition and subtraction with numbers up to 1,000,000, order of operations, and parentheses. My child's results are satisfactory and very good. He passes tests with a minimum of 90%. I once saw some posts on HN about math, including about math books, but I don't remember if they were intended for teaching children. I haven't achieved much in math myself; I'm proud of the fact that I could solve integrals and differentials at the blackboard by performing 2 or 3 mental steps. Please suggest something I could use to get my child interested in math. If you know of any books aimed at children, please share their titles. Ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance, and have a nice day.

Point 4:Expiry and Refunds. I just wanted to work with their API and I knew I have about 5 dollars topped up. But NO! I don't have my money there. They steal someones intellectual work, and they steal also money.

Does DuckDuckGo support -not_wanted_word syntax? I tried to use it with -shop or -pharmacy and it still gave me unwanted results

I don't use LinkedIn... I hate it. And my life is passing by itself, I chose only minor things, make small decisions, so this tool is not for me

"AI didn't take our jobs. Greed did. Same greed that moved factories to Bangladesh and keeps slaves in cobalt mines in the Congo, wearing a new mask." :((( that is sad and so true. Economical thinking should be regulated
