That missing skill can make new math lessons much harder. Finding the problem early can help. You can look at how your child works through questions and the mistakes they make again and again. This gives you a better idea of what they need help with. Why a Mock STAAR Math Test Can Find Math Gaps Math skills are interconnected. A child needs some basic skills before they can learn harder ones. If a child misses an important lesson, the problem may show up much later. For example, a child may have trouble with fractions but still move on to the next grade. Later, fractions may appear in more difficult questions. The old problem can then become a bigger one.
