Don't give them too much help. If you give them too much help in subjects such as math at an early age they will fail later in life. The reason for this is that the building blocks for Math and other subjects are taught at an early age. The math that they will be learning later on relies on them having a firm grasp of the building blocks. If you let them struggle and figure it out on their own they will have a better understanding. I'm not saying don't help them. I'm just saying help them as little as possible. The things that you have pointed out are great ideas. Keeping them organized is always a plus. Just don't do their math for them.
