[quote=Anonymous]Why is your child not doing as well as she should? You need to understand this before you decide on tutor or mathnasium or another program. Does she have basic math calculations down cold or does she have to think about basic math facts such as 17-9 or 8 X7 or 42 divided by 6? Can she look at a fraction like 8/32 and know instantaneously that it is 1/4 and that is 25% or .25? Can she multiply using the standard algorithm 256 X 27 and divide 169 by 13 (and bonus points if she realizes 169 is a perfect square)? Too many kids have not learned these skills which then means it takes up too much effort (working memory) to focus on what the problem is asking and solving the problem when you are still counting on your fingers or can't automatically solve basic math. If your child can't, blame the elementary school she attended. Or she has down basic math skills but doesn't understand how to problem solve and has trouble solving word problems? [/quote]
