Actress Jessica Alba says she doesn't understand her daughter's homework.

The 34-year-old, who has Honor, six, and three-year-old Haven, with husband Cash Warren, admits she often struggles to help her eldest child with mathematics, reports usmagazine.com.

"Honor is reading chapter books and doing math - but it's so different from when I learned math. It's all about grouping numbers. I look at it and I'm like, 'Is that algebra? In the first grade?' But I like that they're using new methods. I don't really understand it. So it's challenging," Alba said.

Jessica thinks her youngest daughter, who just started learning how to write, is also very smart.

"Haven is getting her letters down and counting," she added.
