Abstract
This study aims to describe the problems of parents in Tenda to guiding children to learn mathematics during the pandemic situation. Data Collection was carried out using interview.

The results showed that there were several problems with parents in guiding children's mathematic to learn, that is: 1) they have any difficulty managing the time for guidance because they have another job; 2) they don’t understand the proper method to explain the mathematic materials; 3) they more than focus to complete math assignments given by the teacher so that they ignore the core materials that must be mastered by children; 4) the children feel bored because they have not competition if they studying at home; 5) children are more interested in using gadget for entertaining themselves than to learning the mathematic materials.
