[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The math curriculum spirals so that she'll see the concepts again.  They'll have had time to percolate.  [/quote]

Agree with this, but I might also talk to the teacher and ask how to best help your daughter with the concepts that aren’t clicking for her.  Maybe the 3 of you could sit down together?  That would be a good time for the teacher to mention that, yes, a particular unit is “over” but it is important to have a solid foundation.  [/quote]

+1  Sometimes the reason is simple and sometimes it isn't.  Having her talk to her teacher, with you there to offer prompts, may help get to the root of the issue.  At the very least it may help the two deepen their relationship.  I know as a teacher I always appreciate when a child (with or without parent) talks to me about issues or concerns.  It means that I can address the concerns.  Otherwise I may be attributing a low test score to something besides lack of conceptual understanding or poor skill base or a knowledge gap.[/quote]
