this is an easy problem but my hot take is that if kids fail to do their math homework, it should be the teacher's burden and not their parents' tbh. i mean come on man, it's been a decade since i last had a math class. i barely remember the quadratic formula. the only thing i'd be able to teach is how to cheat with wolfram alpha or something
When I help my kids with their math homework, we have the laptop open ready to google stuff and some scrap paper ready so they can teacher me how to do what they’re working on. I think for a long time I really went full banking model and felt like I had to act like I already knew everything they were asking for help with. This way is just easier imo.

Wolfram Alpha can take you through the steps. So if you're stuck, its handy to find out what you did wrong.
But then its advised that you do another problem to apply what you learned
oh! that's true, i didn't remember it gave you the steps
It's actually a fairly new feature in the last five years. Super helpful though.
There's a resource which explains how an equation works in simple English? Suck it, Math Wikipedia!
Parents spending time with their kids and working together is cool and good though.
Not necessarily on math, or even school work, but I think it's healthy that a parent should be the first person a kid turns to for help.

How would that help with math comprehension? Practice is essential to learning math.

I'm gonna be honest I graduated hs less than two years ago and can't remember a single part of it.. and I was in advanced math
