[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is the effect of her not doing all the problems in the alloted time? Speed drills are common, and useful for building fluency. There's probably no expectation that every kid gets them all done.[/quote] She certainly *thinks* she's expected to be able to do them all, based on the messages she's getting from her teacher. What is the effect? They are graded and listed in ParentVue, bringing her overall grade down (most of the rest of her math grades are As, but her overall grade is a C, primarily because of these drills). *I* don't care about grades that much, but *she* does - it's hard not to feel bad when your worksheets are sent home with a giant red "47%" marked on them. She's developed worsening anxiety about math in general and these tests in particular. It's killing her self confidence and any enthusiasm she may once have had for learning. [/quote]
