42、to a new research from the University of Chicago. The study from psychologists Sian Beilock and Susan Levine shows a marked increase in math achievement among children whose families used Bedtime Math, an iPad app that delivers engaging math story problems for parents and children to solve together.

43、  Even children who used the app with their parents as little as once a week saw gains in math achievement by the end of the school year. The apps effect was especially strong for children whose parents tend to be anxious or uncomfortable with math.Previous research from this group has dem

44、onstrated the importance of adults attitudes about math for childrens math success. For example, a recent study found that math-anxious parents who help their children with math homework actually weaken their childrens math achievement.  The new findings demonstrate that structured, positi

48、ldren read stories and answer questions involving math, including topics like counting, shapes and problem-solving. A control group received a reading app that had similar stories without the math content and questions related to reading comprehension instead. Childrens math achievement was assessed

49、 at the beginning and end of the school year. Parents completed a questionnaire about their nervousness with math.  The more times parents and children in the math group used the app, the higher childrens achievement on a math assessment at the end of the school year. Indeed, chi

50、ldren who frequently used the math app with their parents outperformed similar students in the reading group by almost three months in math achievement at years end.32.Bedtime Math is an iPad app that _.A. requires parents and children to answer reading comprehension questions B. assesses childrens

52、h achievementB. childrens math achievement is related to parents attitude about mathC. interactions around math at home will cut off the family relationshipD. children can achieve more success if they see the importance of math34.We can infer from the passage that _.A. children using the app for thr

53、ee months can see gains in math achievementB. children whose parents are uneasy about math outperform other studentsC. it is the math problems related to the stories that make the great difference D. the frequency of using the app has nothing to do with childrens achievement35.Which is the best titl

54、e for the passage? A. High-quality math interactions improve performance.B. Frequent use of app can develop problem solving ability.C.
